AUTEX COMMITMENT TO INNOVATION

CHILL I RED

COMPOSITION™

From hospitality to offices, classroom and theaters; obtaining optimum levels of acoustic absorption is ideal for gaining a higher quality of life.

The impact and control of noise is becoming more important as we live and work more closely together. Most of us want our homes to be quiet retreats from a noisy world. Offices too, are getting noisier as individuals’ work spaces become smaller, reducing job satisfaction and productivity [1].

Noise is also a particular problem for those with impaired hearing who have difficulty picking out desired sounds from the confusion of background noise. Without carpeted floors and/or soft wall coverings; normal conversation can become difficult because of the large amount of sound generated reflected from the hard surfaces.

By installing interior acoustics as either a wall, ceiling or suspended acoustic treatment, spaces can be redefined as a warm, inviting, clear and hospitable environment where productivity and great conversation can flourish.

As leaders in interior acoustics, Autex have the expertise to provide free reverberation calculations and consultation on the best approach to achieving effective sound absorption in your space. Autex’s experienced design engineers are available to work alongside architects, interior designers and facility planners to design custom bespoke solutions that achieve the best possible acoustic outcome for your environment.
