Acoustic wall & ceiling finishes
Reasons for choosing our treatments?
H&H Acoustic Technologies acoustic wall and ceiling treatment solutions are based on products tried and tested over the past decade, if not longer. All our products are manufactured as a bespoke panel that suits a size and shape that suits your requirements with a performance level that ensures the solution proposed is correct. Our products are manufactured from a range of acoustic core materials, finished in an aesthetic fashion using modern fabrics and with a fixing method to suit the Environment that they are required to be installed within.
Why is this treatment required?
Acoustic treatment is added to a building either as part of the design or as an addition at a later date to help reduce the reverberation levels to acceptable levels.
Reverberation control is required to be addressed in sectors such as education, offices and the healthcare industry to improve speech intelligibility, the learning process and comfort for others. Reverberation control is also advised in various other publications such as Approved Document E.
Specific mention of required reverberation control can be found in the publications below:
- Building Bulletion 93 (BB93): Specifically targets the education sector
- BS8233: Offices
- HTM08-1: Health care and hospitals
- BBC and other specific organization based requirements

Tufsound®
