Transforming Spaces with Invisible Acoustic Excellence  

VISUAL ACOUSTICS redefines interior design by seamlessly integrating world-class acoustic management into fine art. Our patented system invisibly embeds noise-reduction technology within artwork frames and canvases, combining aesthetic elegance with measurable sound control. Engineered in Australia using sustainable materials, this innovation reduces sound transmission by up to 29 dB (STL) while achieving a 0.95 Rw absorption rating – outperforming conventional acoustic panels. Whether enhancing privacy in open-plan offices or refining acoustics in luxury homes, VISUAL ACOUSTICS delivers dual functionality without compromising visual appeal.  

The Modern Challenge of Noise Pollution  

Contemporary architecture’s shift toward open layouts has amplified noise-related discomfort across residential and commercial spaces. Traditional solutions like bulky acoustic panels or industrial ceiling baffles[2][5] often clash with interior design visions, forcing occupants to choose between functionality and aesthetics.  

VISUAL ACOUSTICS resolves this conflict through its discreet triple-layer acoustic core inserted into artwork frames. The system operates on three principles:  

Targeted Sound Absorption  

Studio-grade acoustic foam (14mm thickness) captures mid-to-high frequency waves from conversations and electronics, reducing reverberation times by 60% compared to untreated spaces. Unlike standard polyester panels, this open-cell structure dissipates energy through air friction rather than merely dampening vibrations.  

Mass-Loaded Sound Supression  

A 3mm layer of high-density vinyl (3.5kg/m²) creates a barrier against low-frequency transmissions like street noise. Independent testing verifies 42 dB peak attenuation – sufficient to mute normal speech between adjacent rooms. This surpasses the range of a typical MLV installation.  

Reflective Containment  

A 1mm foil layer redirects escaping high frequencies back into the foam matrix, enhancing absorption efficiency through controlled resonance. This mass-spring-mass configuration achieves 18% greater low-frequency control than Autex Etch’s standard acoustic fabrics.  

Architectural Integration Without Compromise  

Residential Applications  

Homeowners increasingly seek multifunctional solutions that address:  

Open-Plan Living: Reduce kitchen noise interference during family gatherings while maintaining sight-lines  

Media Rooms: Enhance dialogue clarity in home theatres without industrial-looking wall treatments  

Bedrooms: Block urban noise pollution through framed artwork rather than obstructive window inserts  

Case Study: A Sydney installation of A1-sized of the VISUAL ACOUSTICS acoustic management system behind existing canvas prints in their living/dining area. Post-installation decibel readings showed 29 dB reduction in traffic noise ingress, with reverberation times falling from 1.8 to 0.6 seconds – comparable to dedicated acoustic ceilings at a greatly reduced visual impact on the space.

Commercial Solutions  

Corporate clients benefit from:  

Office Privacy: Mitigate confidential conversation leakage in meeting rooms  

Hospitality Acoustics: Refine restaurant ambiance by lowering the overall noise floor and adjacent table noise  

Gallery Preservation: Protect delicate artworks from vibration damage while controlling visitor echo  

Notably, our system meets NCC 2019 requirements for inter-room sound insulation, making it viable for code-compliant retrofits in heritage buildings where structural modifications are restricted.  

Technical Superiority Through Material Innovation  

Our composite structure achieves higher noise reduction class (NRC) ratings than thicker standalone products through precision layering. The 18mm profile fits standard artwork rebates, enabling invisible installation behind existing frames – a critical advantage over 50mm ceiling baffles that demand dedicated mounting systems.  

Sustainable Engineering  

Every component aligns with circular economy principles:  

Acoustic Foam: 92% post-industrial recycled polyurethane  

MLV Layer: 100% reclaimable vinyl with phthalate-free plasticisers  

Reflective Foil: Low-carbon aluminium produced using hydroelectric energy  

Indoor VOC: The full system is GreenStar compliant 

Chemical additives: 0% chemical retardants

Mildew: Moisture resistant
