This Swanbourne family home has teenage kids and a lot of different music. The owner simply wanted some peace and quiet, and to play her own music in the kitchen without disturbing anyone else.
The problem
Sound was bouncing around the hard surfaces and travelling between the two storeys, so music and noise from one part of the house reached everywhere else.
What we did
- Installed 25 mm Autex QuietSpace panels throughout the home to absorb reflected sound.
- Fitted Camira fabric-wrapped QuietSpace panels in the stairwell to cut noise travelling between the two storeys while keeping the home looking good.
The result
A great result. The owner emailed Nigel afterwards: “I can’t believe how much difference it makes. You’ve turned my place into a home.”
Tip from Nigel: in a busy home you don’t have to stop the noise to get peace and quiet. Absorbing the echo makes every room calmer.
