Acoustics
Optimise acoustic comfort Batyline AW by Serge Ferrari is a high-performance sound absorbing material used for tensioned ceilings, acoustic panels, walls, fittings and decoration. Not only does it offer highly impressive acoustic performance and efficiency through its fine, lightweight compact material – it absorbs up to 65% of reverberation – but, because it is so versatile in its applications, it also adds aesthetic value and design freedom as well. Batyline AW is a freely tensioned lightweight system with a 10cm air gap, which means that it requires less space than conventional absorbent foam, wool or felt. It is easy to assemble and dismantle, and is suited to both new and renovated buildings. Architecturally, Batyline AW is incredibly versatile, offering freedom in terms of shapes and dimensions for ceilings, walls and decorative panelling. It comes in modular wall and ceiling components and (using frames, tiles or panels), large monolithic areas or 3D elements (such as shade sails and baffles). It is light and flexible enough to create slopes and curves, complex shapes and unsupported spans of up to 300m. It can also be used for room dividers and even for window blinds. Light fittings and vents can be added before, during or after the installation. The way in which Batyline AW achieves efficient absorption throughout the sound frequency range means it is uniquely suited to noisy environments such as restaurants, offices and lecture rooms. Apart from freedom in form and design, Batyline AW also offers architects, interior designers and contractors unlimited creativity in terms of colour. Its range of colours includes eight Pantone colours. Recent Cape Town installations of Batyline AW include The Cellars-Hohenort Hotel, the Newport Market & Deli, II Leone Mastrantonio, the PotLuck Club and Barristers Grill & Café.
