In today’s fast-evolving commercial environments, sound control is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity.
Studies show that excessive noise can disrupt concentration, increase stress and reduce overall performance—critical concerns in offices, urban residences, hospitals and schools.
As open-plan layouts and high-density developments become the norm, architects face the challenge of integrating effective acoustic solutions without compromising design.
Unlike conventional acoustic treatments, there is a need for products that strike a sophisticated balance between form and function.
These solutions can help mitigate unwanted noise transfer while complementing contemporary architectural designs—ensuring that spaces remain both visually appealing and acoustically optimised.
One such suite of products is the ‘Silencio’ range that is on offer by Criterion Industries.
Over the past three years, ‘Silencio’ has gained significant traction, becoming a preferred choice among architects and builders who prioritise functionality and aesthetics.
In fact, a recent study concluded that 86 per cent of architects agree that Silencio is an industry leader in acoustic solutions, reinforcing its credibility in the market.

Reliable acoustic performance begins with rigorous testing. Independent testing provides the assurance that products will perform as expected, helping architects, builders and designers make informed decisions when specifying materials for their projects.
Acoustic testing evaluates key factors such as sound transmission loss, impact noise reduction and reverberation control, ensuring that products align with real-world performance requirements.
All Silencio products have undergone testing in an independent and nationally recognised laboratory to ensure compliance with industry standards.
