What makes Hush Acoustics' products different from other acoustic solutions in the market?

At Hush Acoustics, we specialize in creating products that seamlessly blend high-quality, sustainable materials with innovative design. Our focus on using primarily PET materials ensures that our solutions are not only environmentally friendly but also provide superior sound absorption and aesthetic versatility. We pride ourselves on our commitment to both functionality and style, making our products unique in the market. 

Absolutely! Customization is at the heart of what we do. We understand that every space has its unique acoustic challenges and aesthetic needs. Our team is equipped to work closely with you to design customized solutions that meet your specific requirements, whether it’s for a home, office, or any other space. From custom sizes, shapes, to color options, we tailor our products to fit your vision perfectly. 

The main purpose of all our products is to reduce the noise congestion caused by sound reverberation/echo in your space. The fibers of the Hush product absorb and dissipate the ‘sound-energy’ creating a calm environment with clear and controlled sound. However, to prevent sound transferring from one room to another, it requires a different approach and a different type of product, such as using sound insulation within the walls, ensuring a complete seal around doors, and also a sound insulation or barrier above the ceiling.

Yes, most designs are compatible and can be submitted in .dwg or vector format. Certain designs may be subject to etching limitations due to scale, tight edge spacing, or very fine details. Share your design with us, and our project manager will review it and work with you to achieve the best possible outcome. 

Yes. In addition to our standard finishes, the metal components can be painted in a wide range of tones. Please consult your sales representative to discuss your desired color and available options.

What certifications does Hush Acoustics have?

Our products are backed by multiple industry certifications, available on our Resources page, including ASTM E84 Class A Flame Spread, GREENGUARD® GOLD sustainability certification, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), and our most recent achievement—Fungal Resistance certification. 

Our products are made of recycled P.E.T. We also use water-based inks as an eco-friendly surface application method to minimize the use of harmful chemicals and to maintain our GreenGuard® GOLD status. 

Every project is reviewed to ensure that the most efficient use of material is being utilized. The P.E.T. off-cuts are re-purposed as much as possible, including being used for packaging purposes.

We have helped recycle over 15.5 million water bottles so far! 

Using ‘felt’ made from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (P.E.T.) has a very positive environmental impact. Recycled P.E.T. felt reduces the need for virgin materials and helps divert plastic waste from landfills. This material contributes to resource conservation and minimizes the environmental footprint associated with traditional manufacturing processes. Additionally, using recycled materials often requires less energy, lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Overall, opting for felt from recycled P.E.T. supports sustainability efforts and promotes an eco-friendlier approach to material usage. 

Are your P.E.T. felt panels fire resistant?

Yes! The material produces no harmful emissions, and it boasts a Class-A Fire rating, indicating its resistance to ignition. You can find the flame spread tests in our Flame Spread document. 

Yes! Our material is water safe, the plastic fibers do not absorb water, and the fibrous nature of the panel means that it dries very quickly. Did you know that you can submerge our P.E.T. material under water without causing any negative effects to the material?  These properties contribute towards the anti-fungal certification that our products have been awarded. 

Our felt is made of a mix of new and recycled P.E.T., with a minimum mix of 60% recycled content. New fibers are added for stability, along with the fire-retardant fibers. 

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), commonly known as P.E.T., typically does not emit any off-gassing, making it a low-emission material. Please refer to our GreenGuard® GOLD certification documents under Resources page.

How easy is it to install Hush Acoustics' panels and do you offer installation support?

We’ve designed our products for hassle-free installation, ensuring that they can be easily mounted with minimal tools and expertise. However, we understand the importance of proper installation for optimal performance. Therefore, Hush Acoustics provides comprehensive installation guides with our products, and our customer support team is always on hand to assist with any queries. For larger or more complex projects, we also offer professional installation services to ensure everything is completed perfectly. 

Yes, we supply essential hardware for installation with every order as needed. Additional hardware requirements may vary based on the specific installation location.

How hard is it to clean the felt products?

It is a very simple and easy process! Please check our Cleaning guide on the Resources page. 

The frequency of maintenance for felt panels can depend on various factors, including the specific environment in which they are installed, as well as other factors like the level of foot traffic, exposure to sunlight, and the overall environment in which they are being used. Please check our Maintenance guide on the Resources page.
