A practical solution
Radford College required an acoustic solution that was aesthetically pleasing, yet practical and tough. While the college caters to all ages, these classrooms are home to primary school classes. Young children are active and often learn through play, so classroom furnishings need to be robust enough to withstand a variety of learning activities.
Symphony®, a roll form acoustic wallcovering, was perfect for the space. Made from 100% needle punched, thermally bonded polyester fibre—with a minimum of 60% recycled fibre—Symphony is durable with a sleek, flat pile finish. As Symphony is pinnable, the classes have plenty of space to display artwork, posters and lesson resources. “I love it, it has made such a huge difference to our day-to-day. The colours are great and we can pin all over it”, one teacher noted.
With acoustic treatment, the classrooms offer the children a balanced environment to focus on quiet individual work, dictated lessons, and group activities. Teachers don’t have to raise their voice to be heard, reducing stress, fatigue, and vocal strain. Designed to take anything life throws at it, Symphony offers peace of mind; no matter how hands on the children are, it will maintain a neat, tidy aesthetic.
