Ecophon says its new range of Akusto One vertical independent sound absorbers are ‘easy to install, and ideal for creating spaces where both exceptional acoustics and aesthetics are required cost-effectively’.
Designed to reduce echoes, enhance speech clarity, and improve acoustic performance, the sound absorbers come in ‘design-friendly smaller dimensions’, in different sizes, shapes, and colours. The panels are available in circular, rectangular, and square shapes; all are 40 mm deep and complemented with white or grey painted edges. Ecophon said: “Using these standard shapes in combination, innovative designs and patterns can be created on the wall, improving both acoustics and aesthetics.”
Depending on the environment, the panels can be produced in either a smooth, easily cleaned surface – ‘with colours inspired by nature’ – or a fabric textured finish ‘with a more colourful, and recently revised, on-trend palette for expressive wall or screen solutions’. For ‘more challenging’ spaces, impact-resistant wall panels and trims are available.
Made from ‘third generation high-density glass wool, with no added formaldehyde and high recycled content’, the panels have been tested and classified as non-combustible according to EN ISO 1182. ‘Lightweight yet very robust’, they are installed using Ecophon’s iConnect One accessories, for ‘perfect mounting’.
