Acoustics

Walls

One of the key reasons to choose a stretch membrane system is to get superior acoustic performance compared to most other building materials without sacrificing any of your design freedom.

Whether a simple surface treatment or a fully illuminated system, Velaria Systems has a level of acoustic performance available to meet your requirements.

Non-Illuminated Membrane Systems

Velaria Systems non-illuminated membrane systems come standard with superior acoustic performance that will significantly contribute to reducing noise in your space. For even better comfort, we offer Enhanced and Ultra levels of acoustic performance.

Good for People and the Environment

All membranes have an A+ rating for air quality emissions and are 100% recyclable.

Sustainability is becoming a fundamental requirement of any design. With Velaria Systems not only do you get amazing design choices, superior acoustic performance, and the option for the best quality lighting – you also get system that is good for people and good for the environment.

We Make Specifying Your Acoustic System Easy

Using our simple process, specifying a backlit acoustic membrane system is easy.

  1. Select your membrane: colors, patterns, textures, images, swimming pools, or anti-microbial
  2. Select between non-illuminated, backlit, or illumination
  3. Enhance the acoustic performance (or not)
