How do acoustic composites work?
Unlike basic single-layer materials like foam or plastic, our acoustic composites bring together the best of several worlds – combining lightness, durability, and sound performance to effectively combat noise, absorb unwanted frequencies, and create a pleasant environment.
Case study: Huddle Education
Our acoustic treatment for Huddle Education’s recording studio




Making crisp, clear online learning a reality for South African students
How we solved significant acoustic challenges for e-learning platform, Huddle Education.
Disruptive traffic noise and an echoey room made recording lessons for school learners challenging.
After thorough acoustic testing, nieuw.co installed the perfect blend of composite cushions and panels to absorb all the noise, balance frequencies, and create audio conducive to effective e-learning.
After the installation, acoustic tests showed a marked difference in audio quality and clarity. We are delighted that our intervention has made a massive difference for the thousands of children who access Huddle’s e-learning material.
