Looks matter when designing commercial spaces. But what happens when employees can’t focus due to noise, or customers struggle to converse in a beautiful restaurant? Noise control has evolved from a nice-to-have feature to a core requirement for productive, comfortable spaces.

Polyester Fibre Board (PFB) solve this challenge by combining exceptional sound absorption, sustainable materials, and design versatility. They upgrade spaces acoustically without aesthetic compromise.

Modern commercial clients demand spaces that look impressive while supporting productivity and wellbeing. Traditional acoustic solutions often forced a choice between performance and appearance. PFB panels eliminate that trade-off, which is why offices, restaurants, and retail spaces increasingly turn to them.

Unidus Acoustics, with 40 years of expertise, takes PFB solutions further. Through 3D embossing, custom etching, and inlay work in PET and timber, we combine acoustic science with material artistry. Our panels can even integrate brand elements like logos and custom colours, transforming functional acoustic treatments into distinctive design features.

Why Acoustic Planning Is Essential for Interior Spaces

Acoustics matter because so much of our lives is dominated by sound. Acoustic strategies help shape these sounds based on goals such as communication, privacy, or mood enhancement contributing to the overall productivity, smooth functioning and collaboration in a commercial space. 

Indoor spaces can vary drastically in their ability to absorb sound. The layout of the interior environment, with materials (such as flooring or even furniture), influences what people can and cannot hear. Well-planned acoustics ensure people can hear desirable sounds like conversations or music but avoid problematic outside sounds or distracting effects (such as echoing). Some common acoustic challenges include:

• Excessive reverberation resulting in distracting echoes.
• Noise leakage, where sound travels through walls, doors, or ceilings and disrupts adjacent spaces. 
• Resonance issues that cause hollow or booming sound effects.

Acoustic solutions in interior design focus on how sound behaves in a space, considering elements like sound reflection, absorption, and transmission. Poor acoustic design can lead to excessive noise, echo, and discomfort, negatively impact concentration, communication, and overall user experience. Unidus Acoustics provides acoustics consultancy and tailored recommendations to enhance the acoustic environment, ensuring optimal sound quality.

Why Polyester Fibre Board Excels in Commercial Spaces

When soundproofing commercial spaces, interior designers have several options: structural adjustments, architectural features, or decorative acoustic panels. Among these, Polyester fibre boards stand out as an excellent choice.

Contemporary interior designers and architects want to balance form and function. Among the various options available for acoustics management, polyester fibre acoustic panels have gained significant recognition for their exceptional sound absorption capabilities and aesthetic appeal.

The discussion below focuses on how polyester fibre board panels are one of the most effective and easiest-to-implement solutions for soundproofing walls and ceilings.

Enhanced Acoustics

Polyester Fibre Board panels absorb a broad range of frequencies. They are engineered to reduce echoes, reverberations, and unwanted noise. Their porous and fibrous internal structure, combined with high-density fibre organisation, converts sound energy into heat. 

Their wider frequency range provides superior performance, especially at low and high frequencies. Certain polyester sound absorption panels may be used to handle specific frequencies, such as low-frequency bass traps in music studios. Polyester fibre boards help create a more serene and comfortable environment and can significantly improve the auditory experience.

Polyester acoustic panels from Unidus Acoustics deliver Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) 0.85-1.00 with excellent frequency response across the board. They’re particularly effective in spaces where speech clarity becomes critical like educational facilities or conference rooms. 

Classrooms and lecture halls face frequent echo and background noise, which can reduce clarity. Acoustic room dividers, when paired with tilt boards and wall panels, improve speech audibility and focus. Te͏achers͏ can͏ ͏c͏o͏m͏municate more ef͏fectively, ͏whi͏͏l͏e stu͏dents enjo͏y a͏ com͏͏for͏t͏͏a͏͏ble͏ learning environment that is ͏both functional͏ and͏ distraction-free.͏ Unidus Acoustics’ tilt ͏bo͏ards offer dual benefits. They absorb sound w͏hile servin͏g as a display o͏r writin͏g surface. They are especially useful in ͏classr͏o͏oms, workshop͏s, or c͏ollab͏orative off͏ice͏ zo͏ne͏s.

Environmentally Friendly Choice

Polyester fibre board provide a sustainable alternative to traditional acoustic materials, such as foam and fibreglass. In today’s era of heightened environmental consciousness, interior designers and architects are looking for eco-friendly options that do not add to landfills and resonate with clients who prioritise environmentally responsible choices. 

Unidus Acoustics offers PET Panel Acoustic Systems made from recycled polyester fibres and remain fully recyclable at the end of their service life. They help reduce waste as they are 100% recyclable, ensuring minimal environmental impact.

Safer Indoor Environment

Designers focus on enhanced productivity and the well-being of the users in addition to the aesthetics of a commercial space. Polyester fibre boards are manufactured without harmful chemicals and meet low volatile organic compound (VOC) standards, contributing to improved indoor air quality, making them ideal for spaces like schools and hospitals. 

Polyester boards, apart from being non-toxic, are also odourless, creating a healthier indoor environment for employees and customers and contributing to their overall well-being. They are also safe for installation as they do not contain the irritating glass fibres associated with mineral wool and fibreglass.

Durability and Cost Efficiency

The panels are moisture-proof, antibacterial, and wear-resistant, making them a cost-effective solution in the long term. Water exposure does not diminish their performance; smooth surfaces facilitate easy cleaning with a vacuum or a damp cloth, minimising maintenance costs.

They require less frequent replacement compared to less resilient options and offer value for money. The robust nature of the material makes it suitable for high-traffic commercial spaces where other panels might be easily damaged.

Hassle-Free Installation and Maintenance

The complexity of maintenance and installation is often a cause of concern when architects and designers are considering acoustic solutions. PFB acoustic panels are convenient to install and require minimal upkeep, making them the perfect choice for a variety of interiors. They can be easily mounted on walls or ceilings using adhesive or hooks and require minimal maintenance efforts.

Unidus Acoustics promises timely and professional installation with minimal disruption and downtime, whether it’s an auditorium or a hospitality venue, allowing daily operations to continue without interruption.

Design Flexibility and Visual Appeal

Offices, restaurants, or other commercial space owners want acoustic solutions that enhance the functionality and aesthetics of their space. They want solutions that integrate with the overall design and theme. Polyester fibre boards are available in a diverse range of colours, patterns, and designs. With these boards, designers and architects can enhance the visual appeal of a space while serving a practical purpose. The options range from sleek and minimalist designs to bold and vibrant, and can be customised to complement any interior concept.

Polyester fibre boards apart from reducing over͏lapp͏͏ing ͏co͏n͏ve͏r͏s͏ations, bac͏kground n͏oise,͏ and e͏cho, help create a͏ mo͏re ͏welcoming ͏and serene en͏vir͏onment, which is specifically crucial for hotel lobbies and restaurants.
