Walls · Plain sheetsWhere every wall begins.
Pure polyester acoustic panel. 9, 12 or 24 millimetres thick, ninety-four colours,

The base material that every grooved, embossed and printed KARIKA acoustic wall
begins as. The heaviest density is crafted for thicker baffles, screens and bespoke installations.
The base sheet, in use.
Plain sheets are the foundation for every other wall configuration. Cut to drawing, in any of ninety-four colours. Click any image for the full view.
Engineered to specify with confidence.
Twelve qualities that make KARIKA a reliable specification. Acoustically performant, materially honest, and quietly designed for the spaces architects build.
-
Performance
What it does to sound, vibration and heat.
-
Acoustical
NRC up to 1.00 with cavity. Absorbs reverberation across the speech range.
-
Buffered
Layered fibre dampens impact and structure-borne sound.
-
Insulation
Thermal insulator. Contributes to building energy performance.
-
-
Composition
Materially honest. Recycled, fire-safe, zero off-gassing.
-
Recycled
75% post-consumer recycled PET. Fully recyclable at end of life.
-
Fire-Rated
Naturally fire-resistant. No chemical retardants required.
-
No VOC
Zero volatile organic compounds. Heat-bonded, no chemical binders.
-
-
Surface
94 colours, accepts print, is tackable.
-
Decorative
94 colours. Surface can be grooved, printed and 3D moulded.
-
Printable
Surface accepts direct digital print and custom graphic application.
-
Tackable
Holds pins. Doubles as a wall and a pinboard.
-
-
Practicality
What a contractor needs to handle on site.
-
Light Weight
2000 / 2400 / 4000 GSM at 9 / 12 / 24 mm. Easy to handle and suspend overhead.
-
Easy Install
Direct-fix, suspended or framed. Cuts cleanly with a router or a sharp blade.
-
Ventilate
Open fibre lets air move through. Resists moisture and bacteria.
-

Sheet size, and the numbers around it.
The plain sheet ships at a single base size. Specify the wall in any rectangle that fits within the panel; oversize walls are joined panel-to-panel with a routed shadow line. Ninety-four colours, two thicknesses.
Standard nominal: 2440 × 1220 mm at 9 mm or 12 mm. Cut from sheet to the wall's drawing; off-cuts are fed back into the recycled-PET stream rather than landfilled.
KARIKA acoustic controls reverberation.
Polyester felt absorbs sound by friction. Headline NRC depends as much on the air
gap behind the panel as on the panel itself.
Full Intertek 2025 test data lives on the material
page. Nine curves across three thicknesses and three mounting conditions.
An acoustic panel stays an acoustic panel.
PET acoustic is dimensionally stable and chemically inert. Colour is dyed into the fibre before it is spun, not surface-printed. It does not lift, mark from contact, or fade under normal interior light.
- Cleaning
- Vacuum with a soft-brush head. Spot-clean with a damp cloth and pH-neutral detergent. Steam-clean deep stains. No solvents.
- Moisture
- PET acoustic does not absorb water unless submerged. Wipe dry. Our acoustic panels do not warp, mould or harbour bacteria.
- UV
- Direct sunlight fades any dyed material over time. KARIKA acoustic panel is rated for interior use only.
- Allergens
- None known. Hypoallergenic and low-VOC. Used in hospitals, schools and clinics.
- Warranty
- Two years against workmanship and manufacturing defects.
- End of life
- Fully recyclable. The panel returns to the PET fibre stream and is re-spun. Off-cuts from fabrication are recovered the same way.
