NEW YORK—With open-plan layouts dominating projects of all types, Carnegie has expanded its Acoustic Textile Solutions with two new acoustically absorbent sheers by Creation Baumann and one new silk-inspired acoustically transparent panel fabric.
The first generation of Carnegie’s innovative sound absorbing sheers was launched in a lustrous, techno inspired palette; however, in efforts to blend with a more natural environment, Carnegie introduces Deltacoustic & Zetacoustic window solutions that expand the sheers collection by offering matte, cotton-like textiles. Using breakthrough yarn and weaving technology, these draperies are soft lightweight sheers that have the strength and performance of an opaque sound absorbing fabric. When tested, the acoustically absorbent sheers achieve Noise Reduction Ratings (NRC) up to .6 NRC when draped—more than six times a regular sheer.
With 22 jewel-toned colors to choose from, Sublime offers an upscale and sophisticated fabric for panels and upholstered walls. Its acoustical transparency allows sound to travel through the textile and into the acoustically absorbent panel substrate, delivering aesthetic results with a change in NRC of only .05. The natural silk-like look also adds to the spatial dimensionality of the pattern.
These three acoustical additions round out Carnegie’s more than 600 unique design solutions in dozens of color ways: 450 acoustically transparent panel fabrics and 170 acoustically absorbent window patterns—all third party NRC tested.
