Wine bars offer people the opportunity to drink and enjoy fine wine and food together in a relaxed and informal setting. The acoustics of these venues play a vital role in achieving the right atmosphere. Good acoustic balance makes the setting welcoming and comfortable, allowing people to converse with ease and enjoy their experience as much as possible. Wine bars, however, are settings in which voices and noise from cutlery and glasses often resonate and where reflective materials, such as glass itself, tend to amplify and extend sounds, causing excessive echo and reverberation.
Improving acoustics with sound-absorbing panels
An effective way of improving wine-bar acoustics is to install sound-absorbing panels. The main advantages of these products include background-noise reduction, bespoke aesthetics, easy installation and adaptability. Achieving the right acoustic balance by harmonising sounds and noises to make them an integral part of the venue’s atmosphere rather than a disturbance is the crucial challenge that managers and planners face to ensure a pleasant experience in every kind of setting, from modern and informal establishments to more refined and sophisticated ones.
Customisable sound-absorbing solutions
Caruso Acoustic’s sound-absorbing panels include modular panels that can be mounted to walls and ceilings with ease and free-standing products that require no structural work at all. Available in different colours and shapes (rectangular, triangular and circular), they can be customised in various ways, including through the print, size, fixing system and integrated LED lighting, to fit in seamlessly with the surrounding décor and enhance the overall design of the venue.
