Koru Acoustics were thrilled to work with Meadow Croft Garden Centre to improve the acoustics of their restaurant and café.

🔊 Their huge indoor dining space seats 230 people and welcomes hundreds of customers each week. However, the sheer size of the restaurant and the abundance of hard surfaces created excessive noise, with many TripAdvisor reviews noting the issue.

🌿 Our team were happy to help. We installed acoustic ceiling rafts suspended close to the high ceilings, designed to absorb the sound that was previously bouncing around the room. These Class A panels absorb more than 90% of sound waves that hit their surface and will dramatically transform the acoustic environment of the restaurant.

📍 The restaurant is located at the in the heart of Essex. We strongly recommend a visit to this brilliant family-run business, now with improved acoustics for clearer conversations and a more relaxed dining experience.

💼 In today’s offices, speech is the most common source of distracting noise.

But how effective are active noise cancelling headphones when it comes to focus and productivity in shared workspaces?

🎙️ Earlier this summer, we were referred to a private home music studio in Putney.

🙌 With build costs already higher than expected, the brief was to improve clarity using a cost-effective broadband absorption solution.

🛠️ We installed 40 mm fabric-wrapped glass wool panels at key reflection points, ensuring the Class A absorption wouldn’t be blocked by incoming music equipment. It was important to choose fixings that protected the basement’s expensive waterproof lining.

✨ The result is a stylish, great-sounding studio with balanced acoustics and controlled reverberation. A space that looks professional and is built to support high-quality recording and mixing for years to come.

🌿 Koru Acoustics recently visited to improve the acoustics in their spacious, open-plan nursery in Exeter city centre.

🖍️ The large room is a fantastic space for children aged 0–5 to play and interact. However, the high ceilings and lack of soft furnishings created a reverberation problem, with sound bouncing around the room. This made speech particularly hard to hear and the space uncomfortable to spend time in.

✅ We installed 8 large rectangular ceiling panels along with 6 cloud-shaped panels. These Class A acoustic panels not only absorb sound but also add a playful visual feature to the room. The result is reduced noise levels and restored acoustic comfort, creating a calmer, more inclusive space for both children and staff.

🧠 Poor classroom acoustics can slow cognitive development and make it harder for students to learn.

👩‍🏫 For teachers, noisy classrooms often mean vocal strain, fatigue, and added stress in maintaining control.

⛳ Last week, Koru Acoustics were honoured to visit Hunstanton Golf Club on the stunning Norfolk coast to improve the acoustics inside their clubhouse. Founded in 1891, the club is rated as one of Britain & Ireland’s Top 100 courses. Hunstanton Golf Club

🗣️ During busy club events, high levels of reverberation made speech hard to hear and conversations difficult to follow. The concave ceiling focussed the sound into a localised area which only added to the noise problem. We installed discreet Class A acoustic panels, covering 30% of the clubhouse ceiling to absorb excess noise.

🌿 Our solution has significantly reduced echo and reverberation, creating a more comfortable environment for members to enjoy. The upgrade will also be particularly beneficial for older members and those with hearing aids or hearing difficulties.

We look forward to returning soon, hopefully with time for a round on the iconic course!

✏️ Earlier this summer, we visited Gifford Primary School to tackle a reverberation issue in one of their classrooms.

🙌 Echo and excessive noise were making it difficult for pupils to learn and teachers to communicate. To resolve this, we installed circular acoustic panels on the ceiling between the skylights.

🌿 The panels have reduced reverberation time, creating a more comfortable and focused environment for teaching and learning. Wishing all teachers and students a smooth start to the new school year this September!

Location: Pall Mall, London

🏢 Last week we collaborated with a growing insurance firm in Pall Mall, London, to calm echo in their boardroom and meeting rooms.
🙌 We installed recycled PET acoustic panels in a curated set of bold patterns. Mounted on removable fixings, they keep riser doors accessible yet out of sight. We also kept the whiteboards exactly where the team needed them.
🤝The result: a big drop in reverberation time meaning clearer conference calls, and more focused meetings. Creating beautiful workplaces that sound even better.

Yesterday, our team returned to Greens Norton Village Hall in Towcester after a rather unusual call-out…

👶 During a baby shower gender reveal, a powder cannon was set off in the main hall, leaving bright colour stains across the large white ceiling panels we had installed only three days prior!

🙌 Earlier this summer, we installed 15 Class A absorption panels (2400 x 1200 mm) to tackle the hall’s reverberation issues. Thankfully, only a few needed replacing and the space is now back to looking fresh and sounding great, ready for upcoming village events.

Multi National Investment Firm

Location: Reading, Berkshire
🏢 Last month, we partnered with a multinational investment firm to fine-tune their boardroom acoustics without touching the clean, minimalist aesthetic.
🙌 Working to the client’s brief, we installed a full-wall broadband absorber with a subtle diagonal pattern etched into the panels. The solution was cost-effective, quick to fit, and kept disruption to a minimum.
✅ The result: a reverberation time of 0.45 seconds, flutter echoes under control, and clearer conversations for their valuable board meetings and video calls.

💻 Last week, we helped an IT company in their Buckinghamshire office improve the acoustics in two video conference rooms following a recent fit-out.

🙌 Glazed partitions made up more than half of the wall area, which caused long reverberation times and microphone feedback. We installed a high-absorbing Class B system, finished in 12mm PET felt with a vertical groove pattern. The low-profile design was both unobtrusive and cost-effective.

✨ Speech clarity has now been transformed, with RT60 brought below 1.0 seconds for smoother, more natural conversations between the team and their clients.
