Expert Acoustic Treatment for Classrooms & Schools

Hard floors, windows and other reflective surfaces can create excessive reverberation, making speech harder to understand and increasing background noise.

Effective classroom acoustic treatment can help to:

• Reduce echo and reverberation
• Improve speech clarity
• Create calmer learning environments
• Support pupils with SEND or hearing difficulties
• Reduce the need for teachers to raise their voices

Acoustic Panels for Classrooms

We design, supply and install acoustic panels for classrooms, including:

• Class A acoustic ceiling rafts
• Wall-mounted acoustic panels
• Impact-resistant acoustic panels
• Coloured and fabric-wrapped finishes

Each layout is designed around the classroom, taking account of lighting, projectors, windows and other services.

Building Bulletin 93 sets acoustic performance standards for teaching spaces, including classroom reverberation times.

We assess the size, finishes and existing acoustics of the room, then calculate the amount of sound absorption required and model the expected improvement.

Where appropriate, we can design the acoustic treatment around the relevant UK governments BB93 classroom acoustics target.

Supporting SEND and Inclusive Learning

Reducing reverberation can create clearer listening conditions for pupils with hearing difficulties, speech and language needs, neurodivergence and other special educational needs.

Survey, Design & Installation

Koru Acoustics provides a complete survey, design, supply and installation service.

We can assess the classroom, recommend a practical solution and provide calculations showing the expected improvement in reverberation time.

Installation can also be arranged around the school timetable to minimise disruption.
