TensileFabric Acoustic Solutions
Improving acoustically poor interior spaces with fabric structures
Welcome to our Acoustic section. Here we aim to familiarise you with the options that TensileFabric provides to help you reduce the problem of 'poor acoustics' within your space.
Problematic acoustics often arise because of the demand for clean lines and low maintenance spaces. These hard-surface spaces, found in schools, airports, restaurants and so on, are often not acoustically absorbent. Sound therefore reflects and reverberates around internally, increasing perceptible sound levels and decreasing the acoustic comfort of the space (see Fig. 1 below).

In response to these issues, TensileFabric have designed two solutions using acoustically absorbent fabrics and materials. These solutions are based around two main forms, illustrated below. Click on the images to read more about each product.
Solution 1: Freeform Acoustic

| Fig. 2 - Reverberation is reduced as sound is slowed by acoustic single layer fabric | Example project: Rocket House Cafe |
Solution 2: Fabric Acoustic Slab

 |
| Fig. 3 - Reverberation times are drastically reduced as sound is absorbed by foam back panels | Example project: Safety Central |
