Noise Control in Large School Areas
School halls, multipurpose centres, and gymnasiums are often constructed with hard surfaces and high ceilings, making them prone to reverberation and poor sound quality. These conditions can affect everything from student assemblies and performances to parent presentations and community events.
School Halls Acoustics
School or Council-run halls are usually constructed as a large volume “box” with hard interior surface like timber, plaster or in some cases no lining at all. These interior spaces can be used for a multitude of varying functions, most of which will involve gatherings of groups of people for activities like presentations, exercise, sport or entertainment.
Reducing Noise In School Halls
The prime reason to install acoustic treatment is to minimise reflected sound waves, usually at or near voice frequencies. Excessive background noise can make speech or music hard to hear or understand clearly.
To overcome this problem Sontext can supply Serenity Fabric Panels or Murano Perforated Acoustic Panels. These panels can be installed to the walls or ceilings of new or existing buildings. Colours, dimensions or finishes can be customised.
Tailored Acoustic Solutions for School Halls
Sontext provides acoustic panel systems that absorb sound and reduce echo in large open spaces. Panels can be installed on walls or ceilings, with finishes and colours selected to suit educational interiors. Options include:
- Fabric Acoustic Panels: Soft-faced panels in custom colours and sizes
- Timber Panels: Durable and stylish, suitable for feature walls
- Polyester Panels: Lightweight, impact-resistant, and ideal for high-traffic areas
Panels Designed for Educational Standards
All Sontext panels can be supplied with Group 1 fire ratings and low-VOC finishes, supporting the health and safety standards required in schools. Fixing methods are designed for long-term durability and ease of maintenance.
SerenityLite Panels
SerenityLite Panels are commonly to reduce reverberation, or “echo” in halls. They are lightweight, dimensions are customisable and are available in a huge range of fabric finishes.
Serenity Panels
