EchoPanel – Keeping it Fresh

We love it when our partners add new colors – and Kirei EchoPanel has done just that with 6 new colors – 3 neutrals and 3 vibrant colors  -to supplement its already colorful palette of acoustic panels.  EchoPanel is perfect for existing spaces that need acoustic treatment to help mitigate noise and boost noise absorption.   The sassy Lime Splice and Veridian Green are joined by Sage, Frost, Magenta and Navy to round out the Kirei offering and kick off a summer of creativity for acoustic design.  For samples of these new EchoPanel colors or any other questions related to Kirei EchoPanel, email echopanel@caragreen.com.

Working in Memphis

When West Desoto County Schools were looking for an acoustic treatment for their Career Centers, EchoPanel Dune tiles were up to the job.  According to Michael Lebel at architecture firm Allen & Hoshall in Memphis, TN, “One primary goal of the building was to expose a lot of the materials, structure, and building systems to use as a teaching tool for the students.  This meant we had to come up with something to help reduce noise transmission through the corridor areas since most of the materials were not absorbing much sound. The EchoPanel Dune tile was a great solution.  Everyone really enjoys the texture and form of the material versus the flat bland fabric panel.  The contractor was very pleased with the ease of installation.”  Lebel chose Kirei EchoPanel Dune tiles in color 542 for the installation. He said, “I really enjoy the way it interacts with the light during different times of the day as well as how the dynamic of the material changes with different viewing angles.”

Kirei EchoPanel is available in bright colors and patterns and in a variety of systems for a more economical acoustic solution.  More information can be found here or by calling 919.929.3009.

Dolling Up Durham

PaperStone CoverPly and Kirei Echopanel were great additions at American Underground in Durham.  Unlike the solid PaperStone, CoverPly uses recycled paper for the surface only.  The durable exterior of CoverPly with its layered birch interior enabled a cost-effective, attractive surface.  EchoPanel was a great choice to add acoustic control to the open ceiling.  With their extensive selection of systems, high recycled content and a myriad of colors and shapes, EchoPanel is an easy acoustic solution that designers can use to create and complement new or existing spaces.   {Information: info@caragreen.com}

Wake Up!!

Check out this Kirei EchoPanel install at Wake Med-Cary.  Splashes of red and gray were custom cut from EchoPanel to create a vibrant space behind reception in a subtle, creative manner.  High design and acoustics control were both achieved through the use of this versatile panel.  And it is 60% recycled content.
