Acoustic Stretch Walls

An acoustic stretch wall is a micro-perforated fabric membrane tensioned over a slim perimeter track, with a sound absorber hidden in the cavity behind it. You see one clean, seamless matte wall. The room hears a surface that soaks up echo instead of bouncing it back. It is the same principle cinemas have used for decades, built to look like architecture rather than foam.

For a home theater this is the difference between a room that sounds muddy and one where dialogue is crisp and the bass stays tight. The micro-perforated face lets sound pass straight through to the absorber, so the system controls reverberation across the whole room while the wall itself stays a flawless, uninterrupted plane in the color you choose.

We supplied and installed micro-perforated acoustic fabric systems, CLIPSO among them, for more than a decade, and our crews continue to supply, install and service acoustic stretch walls and ceilings nationwide. Every wall is measured to your room and built around your screen, speakers and lighting.

Why it works

What this system gets right

Tuned to how a theater should sound

The micro-perforated face plus an absorber behind it kills the echo and reverberation that muddies dialogue and smears bass. You get absorption, diffusion and reflection in balance, not a dead box and not an echo chamber.

The acoustics disappear into the wall

No foam panels, no fabric-wrapped boxes, no bass traps on show. Just one seamless matte surface up to 16 feet 8 inches wide, in your color, hiding all of the acoustic work behind it.

Built around your AV from day one

Speakers, screens, subwoofers, star ceilings, cove and backlighting all integrate behind or within the membrane. We plan the wall around the equipment, not the other way around.
