With their round shape and smooth surface, these small white panels offer a modern but discreet look that works in any space. Using the suspension kit provided, the panels appear to float beneath the ceiling. This is a great way to add dimension to high ceilings. The panels are finished with a white Akutex FT painted surface, improving sound absorption and making them easier to clean.

Neat & Discreet

The suspension kit provided means the panels float beneath the ceiling, creating an attractive modern look in any space. At the same time, their colour helps them to blend into the décor of most ceilings. The panels are finished with a white Akutex FT painted surface. This improves sound absorption, while also making them easier to clean.

Background noise in some restaurants, cafés and bars is sometimes so loud it is impossible to hold a conversation and is even enough to put you off your dinner. Hard surfaces such as concrete and glass bounce sound around rooms so it cannot ‘escape’ from the space. As this builds up, we have to talk even louder to be heard by people we only may be sitting opposite.

We have all experienced this in a busy restaurant and often just accept this at the time, but we don’t often consider returning because of high noise that was intrusive and did not make us feel relaxed and welcome. As an example, we recently did some testing with a well known pub chain, and found the dB levels peaking well over 90, the same kind of noise levels you would experience if you had a power mower next to your ear. Working in this kind of environment can be stressful and difficult for staff, as well as customers.

So what can be done to reduce that noise levels in restaurants?

Adding appropriate acoustic absorbers either to the ceiling or the walls, will absorb that excess noise, preventing it returning into the room. This can increase your sense of comfort and makes a restaurant a much more pleasant and healthy place to be. Noise doesn’t create the atmosphere in a restaurant, it is a combination of lighting, service and music. Noise reduction doesn’t have to mean killing the vibe but absorb enough of the chatter to appreciate your time there. Quieter spots, even if you have tiptop hearing, might just make meals more enjoyable. Investing in sound absorption panels could be exactly what you need to improve your customer experience.
