Acoustic treatment
Our solutions
When seeking to improve the comfort of a space, acoustics is an often underestimated but essential element. Untreated spaces generate sound reverberations that tire the ear, hinder concentration, and create a feeling of discomfort. To remedy this, there are several approaches, from installing absorbent materials to implementing technical decorative solutions.
Among these, acoustic treatment using stretch ceilings and walls, padded doors, or acoustic frames is gaining popularity. Adaptable, attractive, and effective, these systems efficiently improve sound quality without major construction work, while blending harmoniously into all types of environments. They thus meet the expectations of professionals and individuals who are concerned with optimal sound comfort combined with a refined visual appearance.
Controlled sound,
comfort restored.

This range of acoustic objects corrects the sound environment without any intervention on walls or ceilings. Modular and decorative, they blend into any environment.
Why does the acoustics of a place have such a big impact on our everyday comfort?
In an untreated space, sound reflects off hard surfaces such as walls, ceilings, and floors, creating a phenomenon known as reverberation. This phenomenon can make voices sound muffled and conversations difficult to understand. Over time, poor sound quality can cause hearing fatigue, as the brain must work constantly to decode sounds, which can lead to feelings of stress and discomfort.
In professional environments such as offices or classrooms, this acoustic discomfort often results in reduced concentration and productivity. Similarly, in living or relaxation areas, poor acoustics directly affect the well-being of occupants, altering their daily comfort.
To address these challenges, acoustic treatment works by limiting reverberation, which improves sound clarity and facilitates speech comprehension. It helps to create a calm and soothing environment that is conducive to conversation, concentration, and confidential discussions. Whether in an office, school, restaurant, or home, acoustic quality plays a fundamental role in the overall comfort of spaces, enhancing both their functionality and ambiance.
How does acoustic treatment work... and why does stretched fabric make a difference?
Acoustic treatment is based on a simple principle: absorbing sound waves to limit their reflection in the room. At SWAL™, this absorption is mainly achieved through the combination of technical fleece and stretched fabric. The fleece, placed behind the fabric, is a material specially designed to capture and dissipate the energy of sound waves, thereby reducing their reverberation.
The stretched fabric, meanwhile, plays a dual role. On the one hand, it allows sound to pass through to the fleece thanks to its acoustic transparency, enabling effective absorption. On the other hand, it ensures a perfect aesthetic finish, offering a clean and customized look according to the project's needs.
This combination of fleece and canvas achieves acoustic performance measured in the laboratory, guaranteeing real and lasting sound comfort. Depending on the characteristics of the fleece and the options chosen, the level of absorption can be adapted to meet the specific requirements of each space, whether to limit echo in an open-plan office or improve intelligibility in a meeting room.
SWAL™ acoustic treatment combines technical efficiency and visual quality to transform environments while respecting architectural and aesthetic constraints.
At SWAL™, acoustic treatment is designed to adapt to a wide variety of spaces and needs. Each project benefits from a tailor-made approach that takes into account technical constraints, aesthetic requirements, and specific acoustic objectives.
Thanks to a comprehensive range of products, from stretch ceilings to acoustic walls and doors, to modular frames and panels, it is possible to design environments that are perfectly balanced in terms of sound.
Our solutions combine laboratory-measured performance with high-end finishes, offering an aesthetic result that blends harmoniously into all types of interiors. In addition, customization (choice of textures, colors, shapes, or prints) allows the acoustic treatment to be adapted so that it becomes a true decorative element.
This flexibility makes it possible to combine several approaches to optimize comfort and respond precisely to the specific constraints of each space.
Frequently Asked Questions
High-quality acoustic treatment represents a significant investment. It generally costs from €110 per square meter, excluding tax, including installation. This price can quickly increase depending on the options chosen: integrated lighting, custom printing, backlighting, complexity of the project, etc.
Although the solution may seem expensive, it offers a dual function (aesthetic + acoustic), great durability, and unparalleled sound comfort. A customized quote gives you a clear picture of the cost based on your needs.
Yes, stretched fabric acoustic systems are fully adaptable. It is possible to integrate recessed spotlights, access hatches, ventilation outlets, and even detectors. Specific substructures and custom cutouts are used to perfectly accommodate technical elements without compromising acoustic performance. This type of integration is planned from the project design stage to ensure a functional, aesthetic, and high-performance result.
Some acoustic fabrics are designed to withstand humidity and temperature variations. They can therefore be installed in kitchens, bathrooms, or other humid environments, provided that the right materials are chosen.
It is important to clearly identify the constraints of the location in order to select a suitable fabric and ensure that it will hold up well over time. The expertise of our teams is also essential in providing you with the best advice and ensuring a durable finish in this type of room.
