Novo Acoustics: Acoustic & Visual Comfort for Modern Architectural Interiors
Some buildings battle sunlight. Others battle noise.
In modern workplaces, schools, hotels and public buildings, unwanted sound can be just as disruptive as excessive light. Novo Acoustics is engineered to address both challenges.
Rather than competing for attention, Novo Acoustics creates balance. Productive spaces are not always the loudest or brightest — they are the ones where occupants feel comfortable, focused and supported.
Developed for architects, specifiers and commercial blind manufacturers, Novo Acoustics combines acoustic performance, visual comfort and commercial reliability in a single specification-grade shading solution.
Acoustic Comfort for Modern Interiors
Comfort is influenced by more than temperature and lighting — sound plays a critical role. Unwanted noise affects concentration, productivity, wellbeing and the overall experience of a space.
Novo Acoustics is designed to help create calmer interior environments through an exceptional combination of sound absorption, privacy and daylight management.
High Acoustic Performance
Noise has become one of the greatest challenges in contemporary commercial interiors. Open‑plan offices encourage collaboration but often increase distractions. Educational facilities demand concentration. Hospitality environments require atmosphere.
Novo Acoustics responds with very good acoustic performance, achieving sound absorption values of αw 0.45 and NRC 0.45. This allows the fabric to contribute meaningfully to broader acoustic strategies that improve interior comfort.
- Supports workplace wellbeing
- Reduces sound reflection
- Creates more comfortable environments
- Enhances concentration
- Improves occupant experience
The Value of Quiet
When distractions are reduced, people communicate more clearly, work more effectively and feel more comfortable. Novo Acoustics supports this principle by working discreetly in the background, helping create spaces where occupants can focus on what matters most.
Privacy Without Isolation
Novo Acoustics provides a 0% openness factor, delivering acoustic and visual privacy when required. This makes it particularly valuable for environments where confidentiality, concentration and discretion are essential.
- Meeting rooms
- Healthcare facilities
- Educational environments
- Corporate offices
- Hospitality projects
Balanced Light Management
Acoustic comfort alone is not enough — successful interiors also require effective visual comfort. Novo Acoustics delivers very good glare control in darker colours while maintaining strong daylight utilisation in lighter shades.
This flexibility allows architects and designers to balance solar management with the desired atmosphere of the space.
Engineered for Modern Workplaces
Today’s offices are expected to be collaborative, technology‑enabled and wellbeing‑focused. Novo Acoustics supports these goals by addressing two of the most common causes of workplace discomfort:
- Acoustic distraction
- Visual glare
By helping reduce both challenges, the fabric contributes to a more productive and enjoyable working environment.

Why Architects Choose Novo Acoustics
Architects specify Novo Acoustics because it addresses challenges that many conventional blind fabrics overlook. Visual comfort alone is no longer sufficient — acoustic wellbeing is now a core component of modern interior design.
Novo Acoustics combines privacy, glare management, sound absorption and commercial reliability in a single specification solution.
Most importantly, it helps create interior environments that feel comfortable, balanced and supportive — spaces where people can work, learn and communicate effectively.
That is the purpose of Novo Acoustics.
