ARCHITECTURAL ACOUSTICS
Architecture is more than walls, ceilings, and glass. It is also the way sound behaves within those spaces. In the Gulf region, where airports, hospitals, schools, offices, and villas coexist with highways, construction sites, and dense urban activity, controlling sound is no longer optional — it is critical to well-being, compliance, and project success. At Airo Dyne, architectural acoustics is treated as a science backed by international standards, and as a craft perfected through in-house manufacturing, skilled installation, and on-site testing.
Acoustic Doors
An acoustic door is more than a barrier; it is a seal against intrusion. Every panel, gasket, and threshold is engineered to reduce airborne sound leakage. Airo Dyne doors are tested in accordance with ISO 10140 and ASTM E90, achieving STC ratings from 35 dB up to 55+ dB depending on configuration. Available in single-leaf and double-leaf models, they can also be fire-rated where safety codes demand. Finishes include veneer, laminate, paint, or fabric wrapping to suit interiors, without compromising performance.
Acoustic Windows & Glazing Systems
Windows must invite light, not noise. Our glazing systems integrate laminated acoustic glass with PVB interlayers, gas-filled cavities, and thermally broken frames. Certified under ISO 10140-2 and BS EN ISO 717-1, they provide Rw ratings between 35 and 50 dB. Options include fixed, operable, and double or triple-glazed systems, with finishes ranging from powder-coated aluminum to timber cladding. These solutions are particularly effective for residential towers near highways, schools in urban corridors, and hospitals where speech privacy is critical.
Partitions & Acoustic Walls
Walls define privacy, but not all walls are equal. Airo Dyne partitions are engineered to deliver STC 45–65 dB performance, tested to ASTM E90 and ISO 16283-1. Systems include high-density gypsum double-stud assemblies with mineral wool infill, masonry with resilient furring, or composite lightweight panels with damping membranes. Surfaces can be finished in paint, veneer, or integrated acoustic panels. In education and healthcare projects, these assemblies align with ANSI S12.60 and HTM 08-01 acoustic criteria.
Ceiling Systems
Ceilings are often overlooked, yet they shape the soundscape of every interior. Airo Dyne ceiling systems — whether mineral fiber tiles, perforated gypsum, PET panels, or fabric-wrapped absorbers — are designed to achieve Noise Reduction Coefficients (NRC) between 0.70 and 1.00 under ASTM C423. In classrooms, lecture halls, and open offices, these ceilings help achieve reverberation times compliant with ISO 3382. Finishes are tailored: smooth plaster, acoustic spray texture, exposed panel designs, or seamless integrated systems.
Wall & Ceiling Acoustic Treatments
Every space has its own sonic fingerprint. We apply targeted treatments that adjust reverberation without over-deadening a room. Broadband absorption panels, acoustic baffles, floating ceiling clouds, and fabric-wrapped fiberglass modules reduce echoes and provide controlled clarity. Where natural tone is important — in mosques, multipurpose halls, or auditoriums — diffusers such as Quadratic Residue (QRD) and geometric panels scatter reflections without removing energy. Low-frequency resonance is tamed with bass traps and absorptive corner units. All are laboratory tested per ISO 354 and site-verified through RT60 measurements.
Floating Floors & Impact Isolation
Impact noise from footsteps, gyms, or machinery can travel faster through structure than through air. Airo Dyne floating floors use resilient pads, spring isolators, or fiber underlays to decouple slabs and reduce structure-borne vibration. Tested to ASTM E492 and ISO 16283-2, our systems reach Impact Insulation Class (IIC) values of 60+ dB. Finishes vary from concrete screed ready for tiling or carpet, to timber flooring with resilient underlay. In theaters and studios, this ensures low-frequency isolation; in hotels and residences, it guarantees quiet comfort.
Vibration & Structure-Borne Noise Control
Architectural acoustics is not limited to airborne sound. Vibrations from chillers, pumps, or even rooftop gyms can compromise spaces below. Our vibration control systems — inertia bases, neoprene pads, spring isolators, and floating slabs — are designed following ASHRAE Applications Handbook guidelines. Properly tuned, they achieve 85–98% vibration isolation efficiency, preventing flanking transmission through slabs and columns.
Decorative & Specialized Acoustic Finishes
Acoustics need not come at the expense of design. Our decorative finishes integrate seamlessly into interiors:> Fabric-wrapped fiberglass panels (custom colors and patterns).
> Polyester PET panels (eco-friendly, recycled, CNC-cut).
> Perforated wood or metal panels with acoustic backers.
> Spray-applied acoustic coatings providing NRC values of 0.65–0.85.
Each system is tested per ISO 354 and ASTM C423 to confirm absorption coefficients. Designers gain freedom of texture, color, and geometry, while users enjoy calm, balanced soundscapes.
Interior & Office Acoustic Solutions
In today’s work environments, silence is not the absence of sound — it is the careful control of it. Open offices, classrooms, boardrooms, and hospitality spaces demand more than visual design; they require an acoustic environment where people can think, collaborate, and relax without distraction. At Airo Dyne, we bring architectural beauty and scientific precision together, creating interiors where form and function meet in harmony.
Acoustic Wall Panels
Every wall carries conversations, but it does not need to echo them. Our wall panel systems combine high-density fiberglass cores or PET panels with decorative finishes. Fabric wrapping, natural veneer, and printed digital textiles transform them into both design features and absorptive surfaces. Laboratory tested under ISO 354 and ASTM C423, these panels achieve absorption coefficients tuned to mid- and high-frequencies, reducing speech echoes and ensuring NRC values up to 1.0. Whether in a corporate lobby, a classroom, or a cinema foyer, they reduce reverberation while elevating interior aesthetics.
Ceiling Clouds & Baffles
In open offices and restaurants, sound travels unhindered across large volumes. Hanging absorbers — in the form of acoustic baffles or ceiling clouds — create islands of quiet. Made from fabric-wrapped fiberglass or CNC-cut PET felt, these elements absorb reflections from above and can be customized in color, geometry, and height. Tested in accordance with ISO 354, they achieve average absorption coefficients of 0.70–0.95, bringing reverberation down to values recommended in BS 8233:2014 and ISO 3382 for speech clarity.
Acoustic Ceilings
Not all ceilings are created equal. Mineral fiber tiles, perforated gypsum boards, metal systems with acoustic backing, or seamless spray finishes — each option has a role to play. Airo Dyne integrates ceilings that deliver NRC between 0.65 and 0.90 as per ASTM C423. In classrooms, this ensures reverberation times within 0.6–0.8 seconds under ANSI S12.60; in offices, it maintains focus by lowering ambient noise levels.
Partitions & Room Dividers
Privacy in modern offices is both acoustic and visual. Our demountable partitions combine glass, gypsum, and composite cores to achieve STC 40–55 dB, tested to ASTM E90 and ISO 16283-1. For executive suites, meeting rooms, or prayer rooms, this ensures speech privacy without sacrificing transparency or aesthetics. Finishes range from laminated glass and powder-coated frames to veneered solid panels.
Specialized Acoustic Finishes
Designers seek freedom; occupants demand comfort. Airo Dyne bridges both by offering finishes that double as acoustic treatments:> PET polyester panels made from recycled fibers, available in CNC-cut patterns for branding or motifs.
> Perforated timber panels with concealed absorptive backers, blending warmth with performance.
> Spray-applied acoustic plasters that deliver seamless finishes with NRC 0.65–0.85.
> Fabric-wrapped custom shapes for feature walls, integrating corporate identity into acoustic performance.
Each solution is verified against ISO 354 absorption tests, ensuring that beauty never comes at the expense of measured silence.
Meeting Rooms & Boardrooms
In boardrooms, clarity is power. Echo or external noise can erode concentration and confidentiality. Our integrated approach combines absorptive wall finishes, high-STC partitions, and glazed systems with acoustic seals. RT60 values are tuned to 0.4–0.6 seconds, ideal for speech clarity. Commissioning tests under ISO 16283 provide consultants and clients with measurable compliance, not assumptions.
Educational & Training Spaces
Learning environments must encourage focus. In classrooms and training centers, reverberation time is maintained between 0.6 and 0.8 seconds as per ANSI S12.60. Airo Dyne achieves this with wall panels, ceilings, and flooring underlays that minimize both airborne and impact noise. For multipurpose halls, hybrid systems of absorption and diffusion maintain speech clarity while preserving musical quality.
Hospitality & Lifestyle Interiors
Restaurants, hotels, and lounges thrive on ambience. Yet ambience should never turn into noise fatigue. Acoustic ceilings, decorative wall panels, and discreet absorbers integrated into furniture and partitions create a sound environment where conversations remain intimate even in full rooms. Our hospitality solutions balance design freedom with measurable NRC and STC values, ensuring comfort without aesthetic compromise.
Mep & Hvac Acoustic Solutions
Mechanical systems are the heartbeat of any building, yet they are also its noisiest organs. Every fan, chiller, pump, or generator brings with it vibrations, turbulence, and unwanted sound. Left untreated, these sounds leak into offices, bedrooms, and public spaces, creating discomfort and often breaching compliance with acoustic standards. At Airo Dyne, we engineer silence directly into mechanical and electrical spaces, ensuring that efficiency never comes at the cost of comfort.
Duct Silencers
Air moves buildings, but it carries noise along ducts like a megaphone. Our silencers are precision built and tested to ISO 7235 and ASTM E477, offering insertion loss tailored to the spectrum of fan noise. Whether it is rectangular or circular, straight or elbow type, absorptive or reactive, each silencer is sized and verified through aerodynamic analysis. Pressure drop is minimized, ensuring that acoustic control does not sacrifice airflow efficiency.
Acoustic Louvers
Every chiller yard and AHU plant requires fresh air intake and exhaust, but open grilles also invite mechanical roar into the environment. Airo Dyne louvers combine weather protection with proven acoustic attenuation. Manufactured in galvanized steel or aluminum, with finishes from powder coat to PVDF, they are designed to achieve attenuation values between 10–25 dB(A) depending on depth. Tested to ISO 7235, these louvers are widely used in generator yards, substations, and rooftop AHU screens across the UAE.
Acoustic Enclosures
When machinery must operate close to occupied areas, enclosures become essential. Airo Dyne custom-builds acoustic enclosures for diesel generators, compressors, pumps, and even outdoor chillers. These structures are engineered to meet STC/Rw ratings of 35–55 dB, depending on thickness and lining, while incorporating ventilation, access panels, and fire-safety requirements. Internally, absorptive linings are tested to ISO 354 for absorption coefficients, ensuring not just blocking but also suppression of reverberant build-up inside the enclosure.
Pipe & Duct Lagging
Noise travels not only through air but also along the skin of ducts and pipes. Lagging systems involve wrapping services with mass-loaded vinyl barriers, high-density mineral wool, and aluminum cladding to achieve reductions compliant with ISO 15665 for piping and BS 5970 for insulation. These solutions are especially critical for chilled water pipes, risers, and ducts running adjacent to noise-sensitive spaces. Properly executed, lagging reduces breakout noise and prevents flanking transmission between floors and rooms.
Diesel Generator Acoustic Packages
Power is essential, but so is peace. Airo Dyne provides turnkey acoustic treatment for generator rooms, combining wall and ceiling lining, doors, ventilation silencers, and vibration isolation. These packages are designed to achieve NC 35–40 for offices or NC 45–50 for service areas, measured on site under ISO 16283 testing. Every system is balanced between airflow, temperature control, and acoustic insulation, ensuring generators run reliably without disturbing the spaces they serve.
Vibration Isolation for MEP Equipment
Mechanical noise often begins as vibration. Pumps, chillers, cooling towers, and AHUs transmit energy into the structure if left untreated. Our solutions include spring mounts, inertia bases, elastomeric pads, and floating rafts. When tuned to the natural frequency of the equipment, these isolators achieve 85–98% isolation efficiency, in line with ASHRAE Applications Handbook recommendations. The result is quieter floors, reduced structure-borne transmission, and compliance with both BS 8233 and project-specific acoustic criteria.
Flexible Connectors & Expansion Joints
Noise and vibration also travel through rigid duct and pipe connections. By introducing flexible connectors, bellows, and expansion joints, we break these pathways while accommodating thermal movement. Manufactured to HVAC standards, our connectors integrate acoustic barrier layers and can be customized for high-pressure or fire-rated ductwork.
Turnkey MEP Acoustic Packages
What sets Airo Dyne apart is our ability to integrate all these systems into a seamless package. For a single chiller yard, this may involve silencers, louvers, lagging, floating slabs, and vibration isolation — all coordinated in-house, manufactured in our Jebel Ali facility, and installed by specialized crews. Each project is verified through commissioning tests for NC (Noise Criteria), dBA, RT60, and field insulation values under ISO 16283. Clients do not receive assumptions; they receive measurable proof.
Why MEP Noise Control Matters
For consultants, it ensures compliance with design criteria. For contractors, it prevents disputes during handover. For end-users, it creates comfort that defines the quality of a building. From airports to hospitals, from residential towers to mosques, MEP acoustic solutions protect people from the invisible but powerful presence of mechanical sound.
And for Airo Dyne, every silencer, louver, and enclosure is not just a product — it is a promise that performance will be delivered, silence will be engineered, and compliance will be proven.
