Over 20 years of acoustics in Kiwi schools

New Zealand made acoustic wallcoverings for quality learning spaces.

Create better learning environments

Excessive noise and reverberation in childcare centres often make it difficult to hear what is being said. This results in what is known as a low Speech Transmission Index (STI). Put simply, the acoustics of the space makes it difficult for children to determine what is being said.

Noise can never be eliminated entirely, and nor should it be. The goal in acoustic design is to create a space that offers a high signal-to-noise ratio; that is, that the signal (in the case of childcare centres, most often a caretaker’s voice) can be heard clearly above background noise.
