Understand the echo

Zo ontstaat galm in de woonkamer

Glas, beton, stucwerk en grote ramen weerkaatsen geluid. Stemmen, televisie en leefgeluiden stapelen zich daardoor op. Akoestisch PET-vilt vangt een deel van die reflecties op.

  • Less distracting echo and fewer harsh reflections
  • Clearer voices and a more comfortable room
  • Better acoustics without compromising your interior

Frequently asked questions about acoustics in your living room

How much acoustic material do I need?

That depends on the room size, its furnishings and the amount of hard surface. Start with the largest open reflective area and ask for advice if you are unsure.

Where should I place acoustic panels?

Choose an open wall or ceiling area near the main sound source. The best position depends on the layout and how you use the room.

Can I compare PET felt colours at home first?

Yes. Samples let you compare colours and textures in your own interior, in both daylight and evening light.

Acoustic choices for conversation and television in the living room

Looking at the seating area and hard surfaces

A living room with glass, a hard floor and bare walls can sound hollow. Look especially at the places where you talk or watch television and the free surfaces around them. In an open living space, the dining area, kitchen and connection to the hallway are also part of the situation you want to assess.

Choosing design and absorbent surface together

With felt panels or tiles you use a free wall. An acoustic painting combines an image with an absorbent core; a ceiling island uses the zone above your seating area. Compare the full construction and the surface area of your choice. Adding one small design is not the same as having enough absorption for the whole living room.

From room image to product choice

Measure the length, width and height and photograph the seating area, glazed areas and free wall or ceiling space. Also say when the echo bothers you. Read why a modern living room can echo and send the details via contact for targeted advice.

Frequently asked questions

Does acoustic treatment also help with a television that is too loud?

Absorbent material can reduce reflections and reverberation in the room. It does not change the television's volume setting. Assess the source volume and the room echo as two separate matters.

Is a painting above the sofa enough for the living room?

That depends on the size, product construction and the whole space. An image may look good above the sofa, but the proportions alone do not determine the sound absorption you need.

Should I include an open kitchen in the advice?

Yes, when the living room and kitchen are openly connected, the hard surfaces and dimensions of both zones play a part. Tell us about that connection and where you use the spaces.

Can I combine furniture and acoustic products?

Yes, include curtains, floor coverings and upholstered furniture in the assessment. Their presence does not automatically mean every free wall or ceiling needs the same additional treatment.
