Pre-school education environments, such as nursery and primary school classrooms, canteens and learning labs, often see numerous children performing several activities at the same time, generating a high level of background noise. This can cause communication difficulties between teachers and pupils, in addition to reducing concentration and attention span, which negatively affects the learning and well-being of all who use these environments. Furthermore, these structures are usually equipped with hard surfaces, such as concrete flooring and glass walls, which reflect sound and further increase reverberation times. Therefore, finding noise-reducing solutions that also improve room acoustics has become fundamentally important.
Sound-absorbing acoustic solutions for educational environments
Sound-absorbing panels are the ideal solution for improving acoustics in teaching spaces as they have been specifically designed to absorb sound and reduce the environment’s noise level. Caruso Acoustic offers a wide range of sound-absorbing panels in different colours and shapes that blend in perfectly with their surroundings. These solutions include wall or ceiling-mounted sound-absorbing panels, partition panels and free-standing totems; all of which have been designed to reduce reverberation times, improve speech intelligibility and create a more comfortable learning environment.
Customisable sound-absorbing panels
One of the main advantages of the Caruso Acoustic solutions is their high degree of customisation: ranging from size to integrated LED lighting systems, fabric colours and bespoke prints. The company works closely with architects, designers and educators to understand the specific requirements of each project and create tailor-made solutions that meet those needs. This ensures that the acoustic solution is both effective and aesthetically pleasing, whilst blending seamlessly into the design of the space.
