The demands of commercial interiors have evolved radically in recent years and as a result, approaches to office design have had to adapt, modernise, and cater for hybrid and dispersed teams. We stay at the forefront of these innovations, to provide organisations with transformative office interior solutions in Manchester, Liverpool and across the North-West.
Technology has transformed how we work. Many organisations are moving away from traditional business and office models, embracing change and reinvigorating working practices with smart office solutions. Penketh Group partners with leading brands to bring you the most innovative workplace technology advancements, helping your office collaborate, create, share information quickly and achieve your goals.
The dawn of the open plan office brought a new approach to how we work. Collaborative meetings and conversations between different teams became seamless, social, and informal interactions built trusting working relationships, and things got noisy! Without walls, sound travelled, echoes bounced, and everyone spoke a little louder just to be heard. If this sounds familiar, an office acoustics solution could be just the ticket to absorb, block, and cover the noise to maintain sound ambience in your office.
Acoustic Screens and Partitions
Acoustic screens are a common feature in many modern office settings. As well as absorbing and blocking unwanted noise, they are also a great tool for creating and defining spaces whilst providing additional levels of privacy. Depending on the specific requirements there are freestanding, fixed or suspended options to choose from.
Can be placed around individual desks to shelter noise from communal or collaborative spaces
Ideal for creating a more enclosed environment for enhanced privacy when meeting with colleagues or completing focused work
Bespoke products can be designed to incorporate company branding or messages

Acoustic Panels
As more organisations move to a hybrid model of working, the office environment has become an increasingly collaborative space, where people specifically come to meet and engage with colleagues when needed. With a more fluid approach comes increased noise, which can limit concentration and have a detrimental impact on focus work. Acoustic panels can block and absorb sounds to maintain optimum noise levels and create a stress-free space for everyone.
Can be suspended from ceilings and positioned over seating areas, desks or in meeting spaces to create a unique and eye-catching design feature
Free standing options can be added around breakout spaces to limit noise traveling to individual desk areas
These panels are design-led pieces so can also play a fundamental role in the overall design of the space

Acoustic Walls
Although most commonly associated with keeping noise in or out, acoustic walls are actually added to a space to improve sound quality through absorption. These clever solutions are often fabric covered and remove echoes and vibrations from the space. There are multiple acoustic products that can be added to office and meeting room walls including tiles, panels, and printed wall art.
Can be added to the outer walls of an open plan office to absorb noise and reduce echoes
Helps to maintain an ambient level of noise, reducing frustrations often associated with excessive noise

Sound Absorbing Panels
As well as being aesthetically pleasing and a fantastic way of adding some creative design elements to the office environment, sound absorbing panels are also designed to control noise within the workspace by blocking and absorbing sound, echoes, and vibrations. They work particularly well in larger spaces or in environments where noise travels easily.
Can create bespoke and aesthetically pleasing backdrops which adds depth to the workspace
Sound absorbing panels can be used across a range of workspace settings
Can be utilised as part of a full acoustic solution to balance sound through the office
If sound traveling between rooms is an issue, a panel with high density properties can be explored to achieve the desired effect

Acoustic Baffles
Acoustic baffles are often the favoured choice in larger, open plan spaces that have the luxury of high ceilings but fall victim to echoes and sound reverberation. Atriums, lecture theatres and training spaces benefit particularly well from suspended acoustic baffles due to their ability to improve sound quality and increase speech intelligibility.
Acoustic baffles are suspended and positioned according to the needs of each specific area, this results in a truly bespoke finish and creates a design feature in the space
They are particularly useful in settings where wall space is limited as they optimise the overhead space instead
Opting for an overhead acoustic solution that is currently free of other fixtures, stops sound waves travelling at the fastest point
