How acoustic felt contributes to productivity and well-being

The impact of noise on the workday

An annoying echo, noise or telephone conversations in the background: sound has a significant influence on how people feel and perform. Research by the World Health Organization (WHO) shows that prolonged exposure to environmental noise can cause stress and reduce concentration. In office environments, this often results in less focus and increased fatigue. And you can notice this in productivity, collaboration, and job satisfaction. 

Fortunately, sound is a factor you can actively influence. With smart material choices, such as PET felt, you create a quieter and healthier working environment without major renovations. 

Acoustic felt: gentle on the ear and the eye

Acoustic felt, made from recycled PET, has a unique structure that absorbs sound waves instead of reflecting them. As a result, the noise level in the space decreases and speech becomes more intelligible. The material is lightweight, durable, and easy to incorporate into wall panels, ceiling islands, or partition elements. 

In addition to its acoustic properties, felt also has a psychological effect. Soft materials unconsciously promote relaxation and a sense of comfort. They soften hard interiors and create an atmosphere of calm and concentration. In a work environment, this contributes to less stress and greater focus. 

In short: acoustic felt not only improves the acoustics, but also the way people feel in a space. 

A pleasant working environment promotes well-being

The well-being of employees is closely linked to the quality of the environment they work in. A space that sounds pleasant and feels comfortable encourages concentration, collaboration, and creativity. Acoustic comfort reduces cognitive load: employees need less effort to filter out noise, resulting in more calm and energy throughout the day. 

Additionally, material experience plays a significant role in the overall work environment. Felt feels soft to the touch, a characteristic that contributes to a sense of comfort and safety. This aligns well with the trend towards people-oriented workplaces, where well-being is central. 

Design and acoustics hand in hand

For designers and interior architects, acoustic felt is a material that proves both functional and aesthetic. It is available in countless colors, shapes, and patterns, making it perfect for modern office interiors, hospitality projects, or educational environments. With acoustic wall coverings, ceiling islands or dividers, you create zones of calm and focus, without losing the open appearance of the space. 

Thanks to the design freedom of PET felt, acoustic solutions can be fully tailored to the interior concept, from subtle integration to striking eye-catcher. 

More calm, more focus, more results

Soundproofing felt is therefore much more than a sound solution: it is an investment in human comfort, health and performance. By dampening sound, softening the space and stimulating the senses, it contributes to an environment where people feel good and perform better. 

At EASYfelt, we believe that good acoustics and beautiful design go hand in hand. Our PET felt collection offers designers the freedom to create spaces that not only sound good but also feel inspiring and comfortable.
