Autex Acoustics: Quiet, sustainable acoustics – whether at work, school, cafes or car parks

Struggling to hear yourself think over the sound of your loud colleague across the room?

You aren’t alone. The ability to concentrate on a task diminishes when nearby conversations are clearly audible. Unbearable noise can also leave people feeling stressed and unsociable.

Autex Acoustics has the solution, and it won’t hurt the planet either. The company, which started life in New Zealand but is now operating widely in Australia, offers a range of highly engineered acoustic comfort products that reduce sound reverberation and echo, helping to keep sound levels in your office, school or café at a pleasant background hum.

The best bit? Autex Acoustics has gone to incredible lengths to close the loop on its products.

All its products are designed to be disassembled and reused. Not only does this reduce waste when interiors are stripped bare, but these products are perfect for offices or retail spaces where each new tenant refurbishes their space to suit their needs.

The company’s extensive product range is made from 100 per cent polyester fibre, which is made from PET plastic, with a minimum of 45 per cent previously recycled fibre. In some products, 80 per cent recycled material is used.

These formulas have been refined over the years by a talented team of manufacturers, designers, engineers, creatives, and specification managers to produce attractive high performance acoustic products suitable for any interior aesthetic.

The company also has a carbon neutral initiative that provides it with the opportunity to offset the carbon emissions in projects.

Noise is now a big no-no 

Although most people have felt irritated by noise at some point in their lives, acoustic comfort is only now making its way into building codes to ensure spaces are properly acoustically treated.

Acoustic comfort is crucial for productivity and wellness in workplaces but it’s important in any building occupied by people.

Children need to be able to hear their teachers in classrooms, for example, and in a café, you want privacy and to be able to speak comfortably without raising your voice to be heard above the din.

Fortunately, Autex Acoustics has the right product for every acoustic need: car parks, cafes, recording studios, moving theatres, and even doggie daycare facilities.
