Acoustis® 50, the only absorbent material that is acoustic AND decorative
Acoustic absorption reduces the reflection of sound waves in a room. This should not be confused with acoustic insulation, which prevents sound being transmitted between rooms.
Absorbent materials reduce sound levels in a room because while sound crosses them repeatedly it loses some of its energy.
Acoustis® 50 is the first patented solution based on exclusive weaving of coated fibreglass with a special weft and a controlled diameter.
The technology of its special weave gives Acoustis® 50 a high acoustic absorption capacity. Perfect control of the material's porosity helps to absorb sound waves without adding any fibrous or porous material.
The acoustic performance of Acoustis® 50 varies with the function. For free-floating fabric, acoustic absorption, expressed in alpha Sabine (αw), is around 0,35. For tensile or frame-stretched structures, acoustic absorption is about 0,8 αw.
Acoustis® 50 : a fabric with multiple applications
Apart from acoustic control, Acoustis® 50 fulfils many other functions: space layout, solar protection, light control. Printable, it can be used as a communication and graphics medium.
- Tensile panel: fixed by eyelets (tensioning by springs or braid) on frames and profiles (by inserting a rod). Its high mechanical resistance provides Acoustis® 50 with good adaptability to wall or ceiling applications. The panels can be cut to position air vent and lighting devices.
- Mobile panel: used as spinnakers, velum or blinds, Acoustis® 50 mobile applications can add efficiently to acoustical absorption, specifically in renovation work.

*Space behind the application |
Acoustis® 50 : a powerful, healthy and good-looking acoustic solution
- Acoustic : It is non fibrous; unlike rock wool, it does not pose any inhalation risks. It absorbs sound waves through its perfect porosity. It thus significantly reduces acoustic reverberation.
- Optimal aeration : There is no thermal resistance in order to guarantee a healthy atmosphere even in humid environments, with good natural ventilation.
- Immediate decorative use : thanks to its range of colours and its ability to be printed on.
- Multi-purpose : It can be integrated perfectly into all public places: tertiary sector buildings (open spaces, meeting rooms, etc.), cafés, hotels, restaurants, brasseries, cafeterias etc, public facilities (swimming pools, sports rooms and classrooms, amphitheatres), theatres, concert halls, auditoriums, museums, cinemas, transport facilities (railway stations, airports, etc.), health facilities (retirement homes, hospitals, clinics, etc.).
- It can withstand any punishment : An absorbent agent that is totally visible in order to prevent any risk of concealed deterioration and thus guarantee major durability.
It complies with stringent standards* : It is falls within the criteria defined by the High Environmental Quality standard (HQE) in France (Family 3 Target 9 Acoustic Comfort). It is non-toxic and is guaranteed lead-free, as well as having the Oekotex standard 100 quality label.
