Acoustical Surfaces Promotes Portable Acoustic Systems for Changing Spaces
On October 07, 2026, Agustina Iñiguez highlighted that portable acoustic solutions enable sound management directly at the source without the need for structural modifications. Unlike traditional acoustic designs that depend on fixed components, noise sources can vary. Acoustical Surfaces provides adjustable options, including temporary barriers, acoustic blankets, curtains, and portable enclosures. Their Indoor Soundproof Quilted Acoustic Curtains, featuring a mass-loaded vinyl core, are versatile for different settings. At Open Shop Studio, they installed STOP-25 fiberglass quilted panels with a Sound Transmission Coefficient of 26 to create adaptable spaces. Zamboni's office utilized BSC-25 quilted curtains with a steel frame, achieving sound insulation comparable to that of a standard wall. Mobile systems are effective in tackling unexpected acoustic issues.
