Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Tyne and Wear?
Yes. We take on acoustic ceilings across Tyne and Wear, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland and Gateshead, and nearby areas such as Northumberland, County Durham and North Yorkshire.
Can you work around our shop's opening hours in Gateshead?
Yes. We can fit overnight or before opening, and phase the work so the shop floor keeps trading.
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.
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.
