Sub-Standard Sound Solutions: Why Installation Quality Matters

There is a right way to do something—and then there is the alternative.

As our installation teams work on rooftops across Australia, they occasionally encounter acoustic systems that have been poorly fitted and provide little support to the building owner.

The system pictured is a clear example. The loose-fitting acoustic blanket is barely secured to the screen and remains exposed to the elements.

When acoustic blankets are exposed to sun, rain and changing temperatures, they can absorb moisture, fatigue and eventually separate from the wall. Their acoustic performance may be compromised from day one if the material is not firmly secured. Once the blanket deteriorates or falls away, it can no longer provide the intended noise absorption.

Our engineers developed a more durable alternative to exposed acoustic blankets years ago.

Compare this poorly fitted system with our professionally designed and installed Acoustic+ Wall©. Its proven acoustic core is inserted securely inside each modular cassette, where it absorbs unwanted noise while remaining firmly held in position.

The material is designed to withstand external conditions, including sunlight, rain and temperature changes, without moving or separating from the wall. Its long-term performance is supported by a 10-year warranty.

Effective noise management requires more than placing absorbent material against a screen. It requires the right product, professional installation and a system designed for lasting performance.

Only one of these solutions is built to work properly over the long term.
