Acoustic

Sound-absorbing textiles that serve as functional and decorative elements

A range of Fischbacher 1819‘s innovative textiles have been specifically developed to be used for acoustic solutions. Depending on the room and usage, they can help reduce background noise and long echoes, helping to create excellent room acoustics.

The sound-absorbing fabrics can be used in offices, meeting pods, room-in-room systems, hotels, conference rooms or private homes. Made into curtains, blinds, acoustic panels, wall coverings, textile room dividers and stage curtains, they help to create the ideal level of acoustics for every setting.

Soft and fibrous surfaces convert sound waves, whereas hard materials and smooth surfaces made from glass, stone, steel or aluminium reflect them. Sound-absorbing materials are required if rooms are particularly noisy, have a lot of hard surfaces that reflect sound, or create an echo. Using the right materials, you can reduce sound intensity and dramatically improve the acoustics in a room.

Each fabric has its own sound absorption features depending on weight, composition, surface, design and weave.

Fischbacher 1819 fabrics are tested for sound absorption in the lab according to EN ISO 354. The sound absorption coefficient is classified from A to E as per ISO 11654: A

extremely absorptive

sound absorption coefficient αw 0.90...1.0

B

very highly absorptive

sound absorption coefficient αw 0.80...0.85

C

BENU Talent Recycled FR 14619

The flame-retardant BENU TALENT RECYCLED FR is a recycled velvet derived from post-consumer PET bottles. Due to its high lightfastness, mold and mildew resistance and other qualities, BENU TALENT RECYCLED FR also works as a great outdoor fabric. In order to produce recycled polyester yarn, discarded PET plastic bottles are collected, cleaned, ground into small pieces and then melted down before being spun into high-quality monofilament yarns.

The production of BENU recycled polyester yarn requires approximately 90% less energy and 60% less water than the production of regular polyester.
