Introdução

Painéis acústicos have become one of the most important elements in modern architecture and interior design. As commercial buildings, offices, hotels, and residential spaces increasingly emphasize sound comfort, the demand for acoustic solutions continues to grow. Today’s clients are no longer satisfied with purely functional sound absorption—visual aesthetics and interior atmosphere have become equally important. Color selection, panel texture, and installation style all contribute to the final effect of a space.
