It is a suspended absorbent panel designed to reduce sound reverberation in a large-volume space.
Acoustic Islands: improving sound comfort in large spaces
Écib designs suspended acoustic islands to reduce sound reverberation in high-ceiling spaces such as factories, gymnasiums, or workshops.
Why install a suspended acoustic island in your premises?
The acoustic island is a ceiling-suspended panel that absorbs reflected sounds in large spaces. Unlike insulating materials, it does not block noise but acts directly on acoustic reverberation to improve speech intelligibility and auditory comfort.
At Écib, we develop custom acoustic islands such as our LEVIT’ aeris model, which is particularly effective in workshops, logistics halls, open-plan offices, sports halls, or educational institutions.
Fixed horizontally or at an angle, our islands are made from high-performance absorbent materials (mineral wool, foam, technical textile), with aesthetic and durable coverings. They are designed to adapt to the environment: metal structure, suspension cables, customized formats, various colors.
These islands are ideal for treating the sound environment without invasive work. Their quick installation provides immediate acoustic improvement, without reducing usable floor space.
Result: less auditory fatigue, improved concentration, reduced stress, and enhanced overall well-being.
Frequently Asked Questions about Suspended Acoustic Islands
