Acoufelt New Zealand

General information

With over 30 years in architectural design fabrics, textiles and acoustic materials, Acoufelt has developed a strong understanding of how to reduce noise for the residential, hospitality, workplaces and education spaces. That knowledge has informed how Acoufelt has developed as a noise reduction business – incorporating materials for all surfaces, (Floor, Wall and Ceiling), our "Acoustic FWC" Philosophy.

The world is changing. Highly globalised business demands increased innovation to remain competitive. In a bid to increase innovation and creativity, as well as reduce office space costs, many businesses are choosing to implement open plan work spaces. The theory which we advocate, is that the greater the interactivity and transparency, the greater the creativity will be within the team. The problem is that as interactivity increases, so does noise and noise makes it harder to concentrate.

As innovation and creativity increase, the risk is that the inability to concentrate in an elevated noise environment leads to falling productivity.

Going to the local café to take time out to think won’t help. The average café has hard floor and wall surfaces that, although easy to clean, make the environment extremely noisy as well.

Noise is becoming a problem in hotels and domestic dwellings as the demand for less expensive construction and easy to clean surfaces, has led to the use of hard and lighter materials.

The question is how do we make these shared spaces quieter?
