Educational environments
Schools, universities and learning spaces are full of movement, voices and shifting activities. These spaces need structure — not just physically, but acoustically and visually. Almedahls offers textiles that bring clarity, calm and comfort into busy educational environments. From noise reduction to glare control, our rugs, hanging fabrics and solar protection solutions help shape spaces where focus and interaction can thrive.
12 shades. One expression. DEEP.
A textile that defines rhythm, structure and softness. Designed with White Arkitekter – now available in 12 curated shades.
Classrooms and lecture halls
Clear sound and balanced lighting are essential for learning.
Our acoustic and dim-out fabrics such as HAZE and ETAGE support better sound environments by reducing reverberation and echo. These textiles are tested and rated according to European sound absorption classes (A–E). For example, ETAGE achieves class C, offering a balanced combination of sound absorption and privacy.
Solar protection fabrics help minimise screen glare and regulate daylight, supporting visual comfort across classrooms and large lecture spaces.
Rugs like CANDY also contribute to acoustic comfort, reducing impact sound and softening hard floors in flexible zones or reading corners.
School libraries and quiet study areas
In spaces designed for focus and individual work, silence is a shared resource.
Our acoustic textiles reduce background noise and create calmer, more defined zones without closing off space completely. Use rugs and curtains to absorb sound and support zoning — helping students move between focus and collaboration with minimal distraction.
Transparent or semi-transparent fabrics like SHADE and PANORAMA II offer gentle daylight filtering while contributing to the overall acoustic profile of the room.
Corridors and shared spaces
These areas are often overlooked acoustically — but they carry a lot of sound.
Hanging textiles help break up hard surfaces and reduce reverberation in long corridors or open stairwells. Rugs support safe movement while helping guide flow, especially in high-traffic transitions between classrooms, cafeterias and auditoriums. Many of our textiles are available with absorption classes C–D, offering reliable acoustic performance even in challenging layouts.
Cafeterias and social areas
Dining spaces and student lounges are lively by nature — but don’t need to be loud.
Sound-absorbing rugs such as FIELD SOW or PAVEMENT reduce background noise and bring softness to large, reflective surfaces. Combine with washable curtain fabrics to support zoning, comfort and light control. These materials help shape informal gathering spaces that are easier to use — and more enjoyable to spend time in.
