In commercial interiors, there’s often a gap between what a space looks like and how it feels to actually work in. A modern office may check every box on aesthetics—glass walls, high ceilings, clean finishes—but still leave something off: the acoustics.
If your build-out looks sharp but sounds like a cavern, you’ve got a problem. And in today’s work environments, poor acoustics aren’t just annoying—they’re a liability to focus, communication, and overall productivity.
That’s why more forward-thinking developers, architects, and GCs are turning to acoustical plaster systems. At Curtis Partition, we’ve installed industry-leading finishes like Baswophon, Star Silent, and Fellert—and we’re fully certified to bring them to your next project.
What is acoustical plaster—and why does it matter?
Acoustical plaster gives you the visual appeal of a smooth, seamless drywall finish, with built-in sound absorption that elevates the performance of any room. There are no exposed panels or grids, and no compromise on design intent.
These systems are engineered to quietly reduce echo and ambient noise—especially important in open-plan offices, executive suites, conference rooms, and client-facing environments. Whether you’re designing for confidentiality or collaboration, the right acoustic treatment makes a measurable difference.
And unlike more traditional soundproofing solutions, acoustical plaster disappears into the architecture. What remains is a sleek, uninterrupted surface that matches the vision—and the function—of modern commercial interiors.
The challenge with modern office acoustics
Today’s office designs favor open spaces, hard surfaces, and high ceilings—all of which are a nightmare for sound control. While these elements create a visually dynamic environment, they also reflect sound instead of absorbing it. The result? Distracting reverberations, muffled conversations, and poor acoustical privacy.
Acoustical plaster solves that problem without changing the architectural language of the space. It integrates directly into ceilings and walls, creating an acoustically balanced environment that still feels open, bright, and sophisticated.
Why Curtis Partition?
Acoustical plaster systems require a specialized skillset. Proper installation demands not only technical knowledge, but also precision, certification, and experience with the nuances of each proprietary product.
At Curtis Partition, we’ve worked on some of the most complex and high-performance spaces in the region. Our team understands how to deliver acoustical plaster systems that meet both design standards and acoustic performance benchmarks.
We work closely with architects, developers, and general contractors to ensure every surface does its job—visually and acoustically.
