Case Study: Custom Carved Acoustic Tiles for a High-End Interior Decoration Firm in Georgia
29 July, 2026
A prominent high-end lighting solutions provider based in Dubai, UAE, approached Oli Acoustics to resolve a critical environmental design flaw in their newly built flagship showroom.
While the showroom’s minimalist interior design—featuring expansive glass facades, polished concrete floors, and metallic lighting fixtures—created a stunning visual aesthetic, it introduced severe acoustic liabilities. Sound waves from foot traffic, client consultations, and active product displays reflected endlessly off the hard surfaces, leading to a high reverberation time RT60. The chaotic auditory environment significantly degraded the premium customer experience and interfered with critical client negotiations.
The client required an architectural acoustic solution that could seamlessly integrate with their luxury lighting displays without compromising the sleek, modern design language of the Dubai luxury market.
To address the showroom’s dual requirements of high-performance sound absorption and geometric visual artistry, Oli Acoustics engineered and manufactured customized Carved Polyester Acoustic Panels (PET Acoustic Art Panels).
Acoustic Efficiency: The panels feature an open-porous fibrous structure delivering an NRC of 0.85, effectively trapping mid-to-high frequency reflections typical of human speech and ambient showroom noise.
Precision CNC Craftsmanship: Leveraging advanced CNC carving technology, we executed a bespoke three-dimensional geometric pattern. The raised and recessed triangular and curved profiles act as a subtle sound diffuser in addition to absorption.
Fire Retardant Standard: To comply with strict Dubai Civil Defense (DCD) building codes, the panels were manufactured using inherently flame-retardant fibers, achieving ASTM E84 Class A verification.
Visual Integration with Lighting: The clean matte white finish of the PET panels was engineered to interact perfectly with high-CRI (Color Rendering Index) architectural lighting, absorbing acoustic energy while beautifully diffusing directional light paths without hot spots or unwanted glare.
Operating under tight commercial fit-out deadlines in Dubai, Oli Acoustics executed its rigorous 2-month industrialized delivery process:
Acoustic Simulation: Our engineering team reviewed the showroom’s architectural drawings and calculated the optimal surface area coverage required to lower the RT60 to a comfortable 0.6 seconds.
Factory Production & Quality Control: Panels were precisely cut and carved in our specialized polyester acoustic panels factory. Every batch underwent strict dimensional calibration to ensure that the geometric lines across adjacent panels aligned perfectly upon modular installation on site.
Export Packaging: As seen in the project dispatch logs, panels were vacuum-cleaned, layered, and securely crated with protective film wrapping to withstand maritime transit and high humidity variations during delivery.
The integration of Oli Acoustics’ carved polyester panels transformed the Dubai showroom into a acoustically optimized luxury space:
Acoustic Comfort: Ambient noise levels dropped significantly, allowing sales representatives to conduct private, clear consultations even during peak traffic hours.
Visual Synergy: The geometric carved panels became a feature acoustic wall that actively complemented and highlighted the client’s premium light fixtures.
Compliance Pass: The material successfully met all regional commercial indoor air quality (low VOC) and fire safety inspections.
