Acoustic Rafts
What Are Acoustic Rafts?
Acoustic rafts are horizontally suspended panels that absorb sound waves, reducing noise levels and enhancing speech intelligibility. Unlike vertical baffles, rafts are ideal for spaces with low ceilings, as they occupy minimal vertical space and can blend seamlessly with the ceiling when specified in the same colour.
Acoustic Rafts are designed for horizontal suspension or direct ceiling application, effectively absorbing overhead sound to reduce reverberation and minimise noise accumulation, creating a quieter environment below. With a focus on balancing practicality and aesthetics, these rafts offer high-end features while delivering essential quiet functionality to any space.
Key benefits of Acoustic Rafts include:
Superior sound absorption
Customised for each project
Elegant finish
Wide range of colours and imagery options
Suitable for suspended ceiling installation
Applications
Acoustic rafts are suitable for a wide range of settings, including:
Offices and Meeting Rooms: Enhance concentration and reduce distractions.
Educational Institutions: Improve learning environments by reducing ambient noise.
Healthcare Facilities: Create quieter, more comfortable spaces for patients and staff.
Hospitality Venues: Elevate guest experiences by controlling noise levels in lobbies and dining areas.
Retail and Leisure Centres: Enhance customer satisfaction by reducing background noise.
Design and Material Options
Acoustic rafts are crafted from high-performance materials such as mineral wool, PET felt, or fiberglass. They come in various shapes—rectangular, square, circular, and custom designs—to suit different architectural styles. The choice of material and design affects the acoustic performance and aesthetic appeal of the raft.
Installation and Maintenance
Installing acoustic rafts is straightforward. They are typically suspended from the ceiling using steel cables or mounting brackets, allowing for easy adjustment and maintenance. Regular cleaning and occasional inspections ensure optimal performance and longevity.
