Enhance Sound Clarity & Fully Engage in Your Place of Worship

Church sanctuaries and synagogues create a unique acoustical problem similar to that of performing arts venues. They must have enough reverberation to disperse music and vocal sounds throughout the space but not too much that members don’t understand the spoken word.

Further, the sound-absorbing materials used must match the tone and overall design of the space – making them as subtle or awe-inspiring as you desire. With so much to consider, it’s safe to say you need a clear expert in acoustics to analyze your space and prescribe a custom solution.

By assisting in establishing baseline criteria for acoustical performance, our experts can strike the perfect balance between noise absorption, sound diffusion, and aesthetic design to create a powerful worship experience.

Stand in Awe with Versatile Noise Control Solutions

Whether you need to absorb or diffuse sound waves, we have solutions for the walls, ceilings, and floors of a space to create an engaging worship environment.
Diffusers & Reflectors

Diffusers & Reflectors

Proper design and positioning of diffusers and reflectors are paramount to balancing a church’s acoustic. We help designers achieve form and function with solutions that provide the precise amount of reverb to disperse sound evenly throughout the space.

Fabric-Wrapped Panels

Fabric-Wrapped Panels

In addition to diffusing sound, you might also need custom, fabric-wrapped panels to control reverb in lobby areas or certain parts of the worship space. We offer diverse color pallets, finishes, and shapes to fit your design taste and provide maximum performance.

Clouds and Baffles

Clouds & Baffles

Lobby areas and other spaces might require acoustic clouds or baffles. This attractive option for controlling reverb time gives designers creative flexibility while implementing a solution to solve your noise problem.

Wall Clips

Wall Clips

You might need to consider controlling unwanted noise transmission from other rooms within the church or unwanted noise outside of the facility. Our resilient, low-cost wall clips take up a small amount of space within your wall and improve the Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating significantly.

Ceiling Isolators

Ceiling Isolators

If your church is in a multistory building, you may consider installing ceiling isolators. These materials create airspace between the ceiling and the upstairs floor to limit noise from invading the space from above.

Vibration Isolation

Vibration Isolation

HVAC systems and other mechanical equipment create structure-borne noise through vibration. These vibrations travel through a building’s structure and invade other rooms. Our vibration isolation materials decouple the mechanical equipment and absorb its movements to prevent noise transfer.
