What is Acoustic Cladding?

Solid acoustic cladding is a panel system with an internal sound-absorbing core, usually installed as an external or internal lining to reduce noise breakout or reverberation. Unlike standard cladding, acoustic panels are specifically tuned to absorb or block sound over target frequency ranges. Typical applications include enclosing rooftop plant, protecting nearby residential properties, treating substations, or improving the acoustic performance of industrial buildings. We design and detail acoustic cladding so that it integrates structurally and visually with the main envelope while achieving the required acoustic performance.

Acoustic cladding is a specialist panel system designed to reduce noise transmission or reverberation within or around a building. Unlike standard cladding, which focuses purely on weather protection and aesthetics, acoustic cladding systems incorporate a non-combustible, sound-absorbing core that either blocks or absorbs unwanted sound across specific frequency ranges.

These systems are commonly used to enclose rooftop plant, protect nearby residential properties, line substations, or enhance the acoustic performance of industrial buildings. They are engineered to achieve the required noise control performance while maintaining architectural quality, durability, and visual appeal.

At Solinear, our SoundEx Acoustic Cladding range combines proven acousticperformance with aesthetic flexibility. Each system is bespoke-engineered to integrate seamlessly with the building envelope, providing long-term noise reduction and a cohesive architectural façade solution.
