Architectural Specification & Technical Resource Hub

Supporting architects and interior designers in delivering high-performance acoustic environments.

Quietwall provides a comprehensive site-fabricated stretched fabric system that bridges the gap between luxury interior design and precision acoustic engineering. This resource hub is designed to provide specifiers with the technical data, compliance certification, and design flexibility required for high-end residential, commercial, and educational projects.

1. Technical Performance Data

Our systems are engineered to meet and exceed UK building regulations for sound absorption and speech intelligibility.

Acoustic Testing: Our systems are tested in accordance with BS EN ISO 354.
Speech Intelligibility: Ideal for meeting BB93 standards in schools and educational facilities.

2. Compliance & Fire Safety

We understand that safety is non-negotiable in commercial and high-end residential specifications.

Fire Rating: All Quietwall components (Track, Core, and Fabric) are available in Class 0 / Class 1 (BS 476) or Euroclass B-s1, d0 ratings.

Sustainability: We offer recycled polyester cores and 100% recycled wool fabrics (Camira Re-Wool) for projects requiring BREEAM or LEED certification.

VOC Emissions: Our systems are low-VOC and suitable for healthcare and sensitive environments.

3. Design & Integration Flexibility

The Quietwall site-fabricated tracking system offers architectural freedom that pre-manufactured panels cannot match:

Seamless Spans: Create joint-free walls up to any length (limited only by fabric roll width, typically 50m).

Complex Geometries: Our PVC tracking can be heat-formed on-site to follow curved walls, raked ceilings, and organic architectural features.

Concealed Services: The system depth allows for the hidden integration of LED tape, HVAC grilles, flush-mounted touchscreens, and in-wall speakers.

6. Sustainability & Environmental Impact (BREEAM & LEED)

At Quietwall, we are committed to providing high-performance acoustic solutions that respect the environment. Our site-fabricated systems are designed for longevity, using materials that contribute toward BREEAM, LEED, and WELL Building Standard certifications.

Key Ecological Features:

Recycled Acoustic Cores: Our standard acoustic infill options include high-density polyester made from up to 60% recycled PET bottles, providing a circular-economy alternative to traditional mineral wools.
100% Recycled Fabrics: We offer a vast range of sustainable finishes, including Camira’s 'Oceanic' (made from recycled marine plastic) and 'Re-Wool' (using repurposed wool offcuts).
Low-VOC Emissions: All our tracking systems and core materials are zero-to-low VOC, ensuring optimal indoor air quality (IAQ) for sensitive healthcare and educational environments.
Waste Reduction: Because our systems are site-fabricated, we only use the exact amount of material required. Unlike pre-fabricated panels, there is zero "factory offcut" waste, and our PVC tracking is fully recyclable at the end of its life cycle.
Carbon Footprint: We prioritise UK-based suppliers and mills to reduce "material miles" and support the local economy.

Contribution to Building Standards:

BREEAM: Contributes to Hea 05 (Acoustic Performance) and Mat 01 (Life Cycle Impacts).
WELL Building Standard: Supports the Sound and Materials concepts by improving acoustic comfort through non-toxic components.
