Acoustic ceilings in Central Scotland and Tayside
We provide acoustic ceilings throughout Central Scotland and Tayside, from Stirling to Perth, for commercial, education and public buildings. An acoustic ceiling uses high-absorption tiles, and sometimes denser backing, to cut echo inside a room and stop speech travelling over partitions into the next one.

Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Central Scotland and Tayside?
Yes. We take on acoustic ceilings across Central Scotland and Tayside, including Stirling, Dundee and Perth, and nearby areas such as Edinburgh and Lothians, Glasgow and West Scotland and Aberdeen and the Highlands.
Is an asbestos survey needed for older buildings in Stirling?
For any building put up before 2000, yes, before we strip out an existing ceiling. We will ask for the register or survey of the area.
Will acoustic tiles stop noise from the office next door?
Only if they are chosen for attenuation as well as absorption. Many high-absorption tiles are light and let sound through. If privacy between rooms is the issue we look at denser tiles or a void barrier above the partition line.
Can you just swap our tiles for acoustic ones?
Often yes. If the existing grid is sound and the right module, we can lay acoustic tiles into it, which is far cheaper than a new ceiling.
