Notes
Highlights of the New Horizons collection include:EchoEdge: Featuring three standard styles (Level, Wave, and Pulse), with additional customization available, EchoEdge provides radical sound-absorbing feature walls through the modular fin system. Designed to tune out the noise and turn up the visual dynamism, EchoEdge delivers a tactile wall experience ideal for spaces in need of low profile, high-absorption acoustic design. EchoLine 45: A new angle on love, EchoLine 45 energizes spaces with dynamic lines that are ‘going places.’ EchoLine 45’s classic v-cut grooves, which are placed at 45 degree angles, capture eyes and sound waves alike. Available in four standard widths —.5, 1, 2, and 4 inches— the simple, classic angles are scalable for any sized space, from small reception areas to large public spaces. EchoLine Subway: A reimagined classic, EchoLine Subway’s modern, streamlined style allows designers to soften an industrial look, or add timeless design flair. The interlocking panels and beveled edges create a completely seamless look while helping to acoustically tune the room.EchoEmboss: Available in three styles, EchoEmboss embraces the trend of tactile surfaces and three-dimensional textures. These floor-to-ceiling panels, developed by Kirei manufacturing partner Woven Image, create visual depth through the subtle play of light and shadow. Patterns include the linear Zen, the origami-inspired Ion, and the dramatic, diamond-like Gem. EchoTile Ascent: The peaked shapes of EchoTile Ascent drape large spaces in linear allure. The soft, corrugated design and slight reveal create a consistent, dimensional look. Similarly, the hollow, thermo-formed tiles can achieve an NRC of up to .90 to deliver upscale acoustics disguised as a sophisticated design statement.
