Acoustics and soundproofing for schools and kindergartens
In a noisy classroom, students have difficulty understanding the teacher, become tired more quickly, and the teacher is forced to raise their voice. Acoustic ceilings and wall panels reduce echo and noise, improving speech intelligibility. IN TECH STROY has completed projects for the Temurids School, Oxbridge International School, the Talent Academy, a kindergarten in Zarafshan, as well as for the Institute of Foreign Languages, TASI, a branch of MEPhI, and Westminster International University.
Key figures
- The recommended reverberation time for a typical classroom is around 0.6–0.8 s; in rooms for children with hearing impairments, it is lower.
- For classrooms and auditoriums, ceiling tiles of sound absorption class A (αw 0.9–1.0) are selected.
- The background noise level in the classroom should be low so that the teacher’s speech is at least 10-15 dB above the noise.
Typical problems
- Echoing classrooms with bare walls and ceilings mean poor speech intelligibility.
- Noisy corridors, recreation areas and dining rooms.
- Gyms with strong echoes, where ordinary materials are broken by the ball.
- Noise between classes and from music rooms.
Our solutions
- Classrooms and auditoriums – Rockfon, Ecophon or AMF class A acoustic ceilings.
- Sports halls – impact-resistant ceilings and walls Rockfon Boxer, Samson, VertiQ and HERADESIGN panels.
- Corridors and dining rooms – slabs with high sound absorption and a surface that is easy to clean.
- Assembly and music halls – solutions for halls, soundproofing of walls and partitions.
How we work
- Building and project survey.
- Calculation of sound absorption by premises.
- Selection of materials taking into account budget and fire safety requirements.
- Delivery and installation during holidays or in stages.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best ceiling for a school classroom?
An acoustic suspended ceiling with Class A sound absorption panels: Rockfon, Ecophon, or AMF THERMATEX. This reduces echo and improves teacher clarity.
What to put in a school gym?
Impact-resistant ceilings and wall panels Rockfon Boxer, Samson, VertiQ or wood wool panels HERADESIGN Macro – they withstand ball impacts and absorb noise.
Are acoustic ceilings safe for children?
Rockfon stone wool slabs are non-combustible (class A1). Many panels have environmental certifications; supporting documents are available upon request.
Is it possible to complete the work during the school year?
Yes, suspended ceiling installation can be carried out in stages, room by room, or during school holidays, so as not to interfere with the educational process.
