New micro-perforated material enhances sound absorbtion
Barrisol-Microsorber fabric is an innovative product developed by Barrisol-Normalu, a world leader in stretch ceiling systems. This new fabric, a micro-perforated acoustic material absorbs sound by resonance. It can be custom tailored to fit any space, and is thus ideal for architects, designers and contractors working on new sites or renovating buildings.

This acoustic absorption material has both fascinating and effective properties. Micro-perforations in the fabric transform acoustic energy into thermal energy. The volume of air enclosed between the material and its backing surface further heightens the resinance of the air's viscous friction through the tiny holes in the material. This creates impressive acoustic performance for this type of micro-perforated acoustic insulation product.
