Autex Acoustics: Acoustic wallcoverings as active contributors to learning

Autex Acoustics® specialise in carbon neutral acoustic solutions for the built environment, creating sustainable environments that support wellbeing, productivity, and creative expression.

How Vertiface® transforms walls into active contributors to education

In every learning space, sound shapes experience. It influences concentration, comprehension, and comfort—yet it is often one of the most difficult elements to get right. From collaborative classrooms and libraries to student hubs and circulation areas, education environments must support many modes of learning, often within the same footprint.

Vertiface® by Autex Acoustics approaches this challenge not by hiding acoustics away, but by making them visible, tactile, and adaptable to learning itself. 

When walls do more than divide space

Vertiface is a durable acoustic fabric wallcovering made from 100% polyester fibre, with a minimum of 91% recycled content. With the option of two surface finishes, Smooth or Velour, it can be applied directly to walls, wrapped over acoustic panels, or used as a surface for pinboards and displays.

In education settings, this versatility matters. Walls are no longer passive backdrops—they are actively used for learning, display, collaboration, and communication. Being pinnable, hook‑and‑loop receptive, and self‑healing, Vertiface allows students and educators to interact with the space without compromising its finish over time.

Absorbing sound while inviting engagement

In successful education spaces, the best design solutions are often those that quietly support everyday use. By improving acoustics, encouraging interaction, and standing up to constant activity, Vertiface demonstrates how material choices can enhance both learning outcomes and user experience.

For softer spaces—and smarter ones.
