Acoustic Dampening Felt Finishes

Acoustic-dampening materials absorb sound, reducing noise levels in a room. Acoustic panels are currently available on our Celest-TR, Celest-SQ and Celest-HX products. 

Acoustic solutions are becoming more important as we look to healthy office designs and large interior spaces of the future. Some of the benefits of adding acoustic-dampening materials to your large venue space include: the reduction of echoes and background noise, improved sound quality for clear conversations, and an increased sense of peacefulness that can help reduce stress and improve well-being for those spending long periods within the space.

The Noise Reduction Coefficient, or NRC, is a measure of how much sound a surface absorbs across the range of typical human speech. Sabins are a measure of the equivalent area of an object if it were made of 100 percent sound-absorbent material. Put in mathematical terms, sabins = real area x NRC. This formula is a key part of any acoustic calculation.

To put this into perspective the acoustic panels Visa Lighting employs on Celest offer between 5.4 ft² to 21.7 ft² sabins, depending on the model shape and size chosen. The bottom line is that if you add more surfaces in your space with high sabins values, it will decrease the sound reverberation time and create a quieter environment.

We also offer 20+ standard painted finishes, alternative metal finishes, and for some products, premium metal and acrylics are also available.
