Open-plan office. Forty people talking, keyboards clacking, the phone ringing — and every single sound bounces straight off that flat white ceiling right back into everyone's ears. You've tried a rug. You've tried closing the door. Nothing touches the biggest reflective surface in the room.
This is the fix. The Acouline V Groove Hive panel hangs overhead, 790mm across, and soaks up 85% of the sound that hits it (NRC 0.85). No drilling into a wall, no losing desk space. You mount it from the ceiling grid or a fixed point and the room goes quiet in a way you'll notice by lunchtime.
Made from 100% recycled PET polyester. Group 1 fire rated to AS 5637.1 (tested per AS ISO 9705-2003 R2016). Backed by a 10-year warranty. The V-groove texture in Drift 130 — a soft, warm neutral — keeps it looking architectural rather than clinical.
Hanging hardware is sold separately. Measure your ceiling height and grid spacing before ordering so the fixer doesn't drive back for a second run
