Materials Ceramic and stone

Ceramic and stone

Acoustics carried by the architecture itself.

Terracotta, acoustic bricks and porous concrete. Solid, mineral and built to last, these materials are laid and built rather than mounted afterwards.

Available in many shapes, bonds, glazes and raw natural tones, for walls, façades and ceilings.

TERRANA

Patterned stone tile

Marble-veined strips laid in chevrons and straight runs, with deep open joints. A classic pattern with an absorbing layer behind it.
STENVA

Breeze block

Sand-coloured blocks with a four-petal cutout, stacked into an open wall. Light and air pass through, and the edges break up the sound.
BRIKVA

Acoustic brick

Ordinary brickwork at first glance, with a slot in every brick. Behind each slot is a chamber that takes the ring out of a hard wall.
KAVRA

Fluted stone

Marble-veined panels with deep vertical grooves. The grooves break up reflections, so a stone wall stops sounding like one.
PORVA

Interlocking concrete

Concrete tiles that lock into each other, mineral and hard-wearing. The joints between them give sound somewhere to go.
DOMVA

Ceiling element

Square tiles in a finely porous mineral, each with a shallow dish. The curve scatters sound, and the pores absorb it.
GLASURA

Glazed relief tile

Glazed tiles in a travertine finish, set slightly apart over an absorbing layer that shows in the joints. A tiled wall that doesn't ring.
URNA

Open-cell concrete

Concrete cast with large, open pores, rough as pumice. Sound runs into the cavities and doesn't come back out.
