More focus with acoustic wall decoration in schools
A noisy classroom makes it difficult to concentrate, for both students and teachers. Fortunately, with acoustic wall decor made of PET felt, you can easily create peace in the classroom and peace of mind. Read here about the solutions available for schools and what they deliver.
Why acoustics in the classroom are important
In many classrooms, poor acoustics cause echo and high background noise. Students find it harder to understand the teacher, become distracted more easily and tire more quickly. It is also stressful for teachers: they have to speak louder, repeat their explanations more often and experience more stress.
But it is not only the classroom that benefits from improved acoustics. Corridors, halls, stairwells, lecture theatres and auditoriums often experience a lot of noise pollution. Think of doors slamming, sliding chairs, footsteps and chatter echoing through the space. It is precisely in these areas, where many people congregate and pass through, that good acoustics are essential for maintaining peace throughout the entire school.
A pleasant learning environment starts with good acoustics in the room. And you can improve it surprisingly easily, without renovation.
Acoustic wall decoration made of PET felt
Acoustic wall decoration made of PET felt is a smart and practical solution for classrooms and other spaces in a school. PET felt is made from recycled plastic fibres, is lightweight, and has sound-absorbing properties. This reduces reflections on hard walls, noticeably decreasing the echo.
Additionally, PET felt is fire-safe (B-s1, d0), easy to clean, and available in a variety of colours and shapes. This makes acoustic felt not only functional but also visually appealing for an inspiring learning environment. Besides wall decoration to improve acoustics, there are also other acoustic solutions to reduce echo.
