Benefits of echo control

Noise is proven to cause stress which can lead to a range of health issues such as hypertension, diabetes and heart disease. The World Health Organisation (WHO) reported in 2011 that noise pollution contributed to a shocking 1.7m years of life lost in Europe.

Thankfully there is now a push for designing interiors not only for their appearance but more importantly the experience for all those who inhabit the spaces as well. More designers are looking to create environments that are fit for purpose and can actually help improve health and wellbeing along with social behaviours and productivity.

We have the most extensive range of acoustic solutions to help you get your acoustics right. Whether it be for a fit-out, refurbishment or new build, taking acoustics seriously and removing distractions caused by excess noise and echo problems will ensure that interiors sound as good as they look with a welcoming and calm atmosphere.
