6 Acoustic Wall Products to Add Texture and Visual Weight to Any Space

Texture can often get overlooked in initial interior designs projects, similarly to acoustics. But as a thoughtful designer, you know both are crucial to create your clients’ dream environments. Texture increases the visual weight of any wall, while also conveying a warm mood with inviting, absorptive materials and an improved overall balance within the space.

Liven up any room with rich depth and increased dimension using Kirei’s PET panels or products that beautifully combine texture, style, sustainability, and sound absorption. Our PET, made from recycled plastic bottles, boasts a standard felt-like finish that our team transforms through innovative design and sophisticated printing.

As mentioned throughout this article, high-resolution Kirei Ink printing is the cherry on top of beautiful textured acoustics. Kirei Ink printed panels allow you to create texture on an acoustic surface to not only balance the look and feel of a room, but to also balance the sound. While hard surfaces - like concrete and brick - reflect sound and increase noise, printing those same materials on acoustic PET allows for the visual without the excess reverberation. Combine any of our 4 striking collections of prints - Wood, Biophilia, Natural Materials, and Geo - with the natural texture of PET Panels to enhance the printed texture and photorealism of the design.

Texture comes in many forms, and, along with acoustics, is essential to creating a warm, balanced environment that welcomes occupants. With Kirei products, you’re not just adding texture and style, you’re increasing your design’s sustainability while creating balanced acoustics for occupant health and happiness.
