Supply & Installation of Tenso Stretched Fabric Acoustic Systems
Tenso is a leading provider of made-to-measure stretched fabric systems that integrate seamlessly into any interior — delivering Class A acoustic performance without a visible frame, fixing or edge in sight.
Every Tenso system is built on site, to your exact specification. No standard panel sizes, no off-the-shelf options, just a seamless result that looks exactly as the designer intended.

A concealed track is fixed to your surface and shaped to your exact perimeter, including curves, and corners. Available in square, bevel, or radius profiles. No visible frame, no exposed fixings.
A polyester acoustic core (minimum 60% recycled content) is fitted within the track. At 50mm it achieves Class A absorption or Class B at 25mm. Mineral wool or glass wool options available.
Almost any fabric can be used — even custom prints or brand graphics. The fabric is tensioned to a smooth, wrinkle-free finish. Most carry the EU Ecolabel and meet LEED criteria.
With no requirement for pre-fabricated panels, installation can begin as soon as surfaces are prepared and fabric chosen.
Every installation is carried out by our in-house team. We manage the process from site survey to final tension check.
Tenso demonstrates its commitment to responsible practices through the ISO 14001 environmental accreditation. This recognises their dedication to implementing an effective environmental management system and embedding sustainability into all aspects of their operations.

we handle everything
Consultation
Our acoustic consultants assess your space on-site (or remotely) and provide a detailed proposal. Every consultation includes acoustic design recommendations, product specifications, and reverberation analysis to ensure measurable improvements.
Assessment
We don’t just identify noise issues — we provide solutions that are cost-effective, design-conscious, and performance-led. Whether reducing echo, improving clarity, or addressing speech privacy, our expert guidance ensures the right acoustic fit for your space.
Design & Planning
Every project includes a tailored acoustic design with a free CAD proposal, showing product placement, specifications, and performance ratings. Our designs can blend seamlessly into interiors or become bold architectural features — always balancing form with function.
Supply & Installation
With over 5,000 projects completed nationwide, our in-house installation teams handle even the most complex acoustic projects. We work to strict health and safety standards, with IPAF-certified specialists, SSSTS/SMSTS-trained supervisors, and all installers CSCS accredited.

FAQs & tips for selecting the right acoustic products
Yes. Acoustic panels absorb sound energy, reducing echo and controlling reverberation. Without treatment, sound bounces off hard surfaces such as glass, plaster, concrete and timber, creating a noisy, tiring environment. Panels made from sound-absorbing materials soak up that energy instead, so speech becomes clearer and background noise calmer.
At Resonics, we only use panels tested in independent acoustic labs, so their performance is certified and measurable. With 7,000+ projects completed, we’ve seen first-hand the difference they make in offices, schools, restaurants and community spaces.
Yes. The Tenso acoustic systems are tested to meet fire safety standards and rated to EN 13501 1: B s2, d0 (core and fabric dependent). Fire performance subject to final system build up and fabric selection. Additionally, the core does not contain formaldehyde binders. The polyester fibre structure supports safer indoor air quality and will not become a potential airborne pollutant.
Almost anywhere. We’ve installed Tenso stretched fabric acoustic systems in:
- Offices and boardrooms
- Classrooms and lecture halls
- Restaurants and cafés
- Village halls and community centres
- Recording studios and performance spaces
- Homes and residential developments
- Swimming pools
- Sports halls
Prices vary with size, material and finish. As a rough guide to product costs:
- Wall panels: £80–£200 each
- Ceiling rafts: £150–£400 each
- Baffles: £60–£120 each
For a typical commercial installation, allow roughly £[120]–£[250] per m² of panel, supplied and installed. Higher-performing Class A products are often the most cost-effective, because you need fewer of them. Design-led finishes such as slatted timber tend to cost more for less absorption.
For office projects, our office acoustics guide breaks down typical costs by floor area. For an accurate price for your space, book a free acoustic survey and quotation.
Most projects are completed within a day or two. A small meeting room might be finished in just a few hours, while a large office floor or school hall could take several days. The timeline depends on the number of panels, site access, and working hours available.
We schedule works to minimise disruption — often installing out of hours or in phases if required. Our CAD designs and pre-installation planning ensure a smooth process, with clear timeframes provided in advance.
