acoustic design treatment within aged care environments

CREATING CALMER, HEALTHIER AND MORE ENJOYABLE LIVING SPACES

Modern aged care facilities are no longer just about function — they’re about comfort, connection, and wellbeing. Good acoustic design plays a vital role in this, improving both the emotional and physical quality of life for residents.

At OneFrame, we specialise in acoustic treatments and fabric wall systems that help aged care providers reduce noise, soften spaces, and bring warmth and personality into every room. Our NZ-made acoustic wall panels, illuminated lightboxes, and fabric tension systems are designed to blend sound absorption, sustainability, and visual design into one seamless solution.

WHY ACOUSTICS MATTER IN AGED CARE ENVIRONMENTS

Poor acoustics can have a significant impact on residents’ well-being. In environments with hard flooring, high ceilings, and reflective surfaces, sound reverberation makes it difficult to hear and communicate — often leading to stress, confusion, and fatigue.

Our Resonate™ acoustic wall panels are engineered to absorb sound and reduce reverberation, creating calmer, more peaceful spaces. These systems are ideal for:

• Communal lounges and dining areas
• Hallways and reception zones
• Private resident rooms and care suites
• Therapy and activity rooms

The result is improved speech clarity, concentration, and comfort for both residents and staff.

ACOUSTIC FABRIC SYSTEMS WITH VISUAL AND EMOTIONAL IMPACT

Every OneFrame system combines acoustic performance with a customisable design. Printed graphics can feature calming landscapes, local photography, or uplifting abstract art — turning noise control into an opportunity for storytelling and visual engagement.

Our products include:

• Acoustic wall panels and coverings
• Illuminated fabric lightboxes
• Custom directional signage and photo walls
• Overhead acoustic baffles and suspended ceiling panels
• Branded feature walls and lifestyle imagery

Each installation is custom-made to fit your space — single or double-sided, illuminated or non-illuminated, wall-mounted, free-standing, or ceiling-hung.

SUSTAINABLE, LOCALLY MANUFACTURED ACOUSTIC SOLUTIONS

All OneFrame acoustic systems are New Zealand-made and produced in-house using recycled PET acoustic materials and locally fabricated aluminium frames. Through our Second Thread™ circular recycling program, old fabrics and acoustic panels are collected and reprocessed into new products — helping aged care providers meet sustainability and carbon-reduction goals.

Our vertically integrated process ensures precision, colour consistency, and fast lead times while reducing transport emissions and waste.
