Utilising the results of our initial tests which were carried out using an absorption tube, we developed acoustic panels and baffles that we considered would be the most effective considering a balance of cost / aesthetics / performance.
Our acoustic panels were then measured for absorption by testing them at Sound Research Laboratories (UKAS Accredited) in accordance with BS EN ISO 354:2003. A comprehensive range of 6 types of acoustic panels and baffles were tested measuring the Absorption Coefficient of each of these systeems. As a result of this testing we are now able to offer a wide range of products offering varying Absorption Coefficients classified from B to E.
Panelling Types
The market appeared to require/prefer two types of panels, perforated panels (panel type A and B below) and slotted panels (panel type C and D below)
All our products were tested as an assesment of their absorption co-efficient expressed as a value between 0 and 1 where 0 represents no absorption and 1 represents total absorption.

Solid Timber Baffles Types
From an aesthetic point of view the solid timber baffles or battens provide a stunning finish to any building. We therefore researched, developed and tested solid timber baffles in tandem with acoustic absorption materials.
Following on from the results of our initial testing we then settled on marketing and testing these two baffles systems.
