Wall-plane acoustics deal with problems ceilings don’t. Sound transmission between offices, conference rooms, and patient areas. Speech privacy across open floorplans. Impact noise from adjacent corridors.

Sound Barrier systems are configured for the STC, NRC, and speech privacy ratings your project requires. Panel configurations include vertical slat systems, horizontal planks, flat veneer panels, and open grille screens. At eye level, wood grain, reveals, and edge details read with more presence and immediacy than ceiling applications. Side light from windows or sconces picks up the grain and shadow lines along reveals, giving the wall surface visual depth that changes through the day. Corners and transitions are clean and engineered: wrapped returns, precise edge terminations, seamless coordination where walls meet ceilings.

When specified to continue a ceiling system downward, the result is a complete wood envelope wrapping the room rather than a surface treatment applied to one plane. Structural connections, panel weight distribution, and fastening methods are all designed for vertical load paths.

Systems ship factory-finished with species and stain matched to your specifications.
