CDS Plastics: Acoustix

A trusted supplier to office manufacturers and the broader dealer network since 1995, CDS offers clients a unique range of products that are ergonomic, aesthetically pleasing and cost-effective. This includes Rize height-adjustable workstations, Agilis monitor arms, drawer systems, cable management systems, levellers, leg fittings and Acoustix panels.

A division of CDS, Acoustix, solves a very real and very specific need – the reduction of noise in offices.

“In many situations, it’s difficult to contain and maintain excessive sound which is an environmental and in some cases a health concern for individuals, especially in open-plan workspaces. The solution is the reduction of noise emissions through the use of specially designed material to absorb or reflect the noise. At CDS, we are proud to supply products specifically designed to do just that – our Acoustix brand of recycled PET plastic formed into a nonwoven textile – a porous material that has been found to efficiently absorb and dampen a variety of sounds and noises”.

The foremost supplier of PET panels in South Africa, today, Acoustix offers sound-absorbing PET panels, screens and room dividers that are cost-effective, customisable, eco-friendly, moisture-proof, fire-retardant and heat-insulating in a range of colours.

“Our CNC cutting and design interpretation of this material is unparalleled in this country,” states the company, of the division, which was launched seven years ago.

“With the new European ISO standard for noise reduction in offices, we added to the performance of PET felt and achieved sound reduction figures beyond our wildest expectations. We exhibited our Comfort Acoustix screens at Interzum in Cologne, Germany last year and were proud to learn that compared to 30 other international companies, our innovative material and products were at the forefront of developments in the industry”.
