The office

Capital Asia Investments has its office at SBF Centre in Singapore. The job covered three meeting rooms and a hallway. Meeting rooms are where clear speech matters most in an office.

Why meeting rooms echo

Most meeting rooms have hard walls, a hard table and a bare ceiling. Voices bounce between them, and video calls pick up the echo. People on the other end then hear a hollow sound. See room too echoey for video calls.

What we installed

We installed wall and ceiling panels in 3 meeting rooms. In the hallway, we added a printed wall. Printed panels can carry artwork or brand colours and still soak up sound. See custom print panels.

Why walls and ceiling

In a meeting room, sound bounces between the walls and between the floor and ceiling. Treating both stops echo in both directions. Glass walls are rarely the best place for panels, so solid walls and the ceiling do the work. See reducing echo in glass meeting rooms.

The printed hallway wall

The hallway wall is printed, so it works as a feature as well as an acoustic panel. A printed panel soaks up sound like a plain one. It is a way to treat a space and decorate it at the same time.

Why print the panels?

At SBF Centre, Capital Asia Investments has wall and ceiling panels in 3 meeting rooms plus a printed hallway wall. Printed panels turn sound control into branding. A hallway feature wall that shows the company's look also soaks up the sound of people walking and talking past the meeting rooms.
