What Absolute Acoustics does

Absolute Acoustics is a privately held Irish acoustic treatment specialist, founded in 2007 and operating from Dublin, that supplies and installs architectural acoustic solutions across the Island of Ireland. Its product portfolio spans three families: 100% PET felt panels, ceiling rafts, and baffles (NRC 0.45–0.95); the Sonaspray cellulose spray line (K13 Standard, K13 Special, K14, FC, FCX variants, NRC up to Aw 0.95); and the Sonacoustic smooth plaster finish (2mm, NRC 1.0, A1 fire rating). A stretched fabric system serves broadcast and recording environments. All products carry fire certifications relevant to European and UK markets and contribute to Irish Building Regulations Part E compliance.

The company operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market, reaching building owners, architects, and fit-out contractors through direct phone, email, contact form, and a content-driven "Sound Advice" blog supported by Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram. Differentiation rests on in-house acousticians, in-house CNC panel fabrication for bespoke work, and a team of 5 qualified installers led by Operations Manager Hugh Corrigan. With 350 completed projects and 17 years of trading, the business serves corporate offices, educational institutions, film/TV production facilities, hospitality venues, and healthcare buildings — including named accounts such as Autodesk, DocuSign, Zalando, Rabobank, Zurich, Varonis, Diageo's Guinness Gravity Bar, and Troy Film Studios (used for Apple TV's "Foundation").

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time project sales plus installation services priced by custom quote, with no public pricing or revenue disclosed. The company is founder/owner-operated, self-funded, and operates at a scale of 11–50 employees, indicating a specialist trade-contractor profile rather than a scaled product business.

Direct peers

• Abstracta: Swedish manufacturer of acoustic panels, sound-absorbing furniture, and room-dividing systems. Comparable to Absolute Acoustics in combining acoustic product supply with workspace acoustic solutions for commercial clients.
• BAUX: Swedish designer and manufacturer of PET-felt acoustic panels and tiles for commercial interiors. Directly competes with Absolute Acoustics' Acoustic Wall Panels and Acoustic Baffles range, sharing a sustainability-led, design-forward positioning.
• Acoufelt: Australia-headquartered manufacturer of PET acoustic panels, baffles, and wallcoverings. Competes with Absolute Acoustics' PET-felt panels and baffles in commercial fit-out, with similar customisation and sustainability claims.
• Troldtekt: Danish manufacturer of wood-wool cement acoustic panels for ceilings and walls. Directly overlaps with Absolute Acoustics' panel offering and competes for the same commercial interior and educational project segments across Northern Europe.
• Oscar Acoustics: UK-based acoustic plaster and spray specialist offering Oscar Spray and acoustic plaster systems directly competing with Absolute Acoustics' Sonaspray/Sonacoustic range. Closest comparable in product mix, customer type (commercial fit-out, heritage), and B2B project delivery model.

Broad incumbents

• Rockfon (ROCKWOOL): Acoustic ceiling and wall solutions brand of the ROCKWOOL Group, offering stone wool ceiling panels and baffles. Competes with Absolute Acoustics' panel and suspended products in commercial fit-out, but at global scale with standardised product lines.
• Knauf AMF: Knauf Group's acoustic ceiling systems brand, manufacturing mineral fibre and metal ceiling panels. Significant overlap with Absolute Acoustics' ceiling-panel product line, but operating as a global product manufacturer rather than a local installer.
• Armstrong Ceiling Solutions: Major global manufacturer of acoustic ceiling systems and wall panels (part of AWI). Overlaps with Absolute Acoustics' ceiling and panel products but sells standardised product lines through distribution rather than bespoke installation.
• Ecophon (Saint-Gobain): Global acoustic ceiling and wall panel manufacturer, part of Saint-Gobain, with a broad portfolio of glass wool and PET-based panels. Overlaps with Absolute Acoustics' panel and baffle products but serves a much wider European/international market with off-the-shelf supply rather than bespoke installation.

Emerging players

• De Vorm: Dutch designer of PET-felt acoustic furniture, panels, and lighting. Shares Absolute Acoustics' PET-felt sustainability story and commercial-interior client base, but competes as a furniture-integrated concept rather than a fit-out services provider.
