Units are available in a wide range of colours, including wood textures, and can be easily mixed and arranged as desired to achieve an endless array of dynamic layouts. Use SoundBar to bring an impactful combination of style and function to your next project.

SoundEdge

SoundEdge ceiling system offers flexible building blocks to easily achieve enhanced acoustical performance and design effects. Its modular single fin design, available in a multitude of lengths and depths, is easy to install and can be mixed and matched in numerous configurations. SoundEdge is constructed from our Soft Sound acoustical material to drastically reduce sound reverberation.

SoundAngle

SoundAngle ceiling system offers a perfectly scalable way to add dimensionality and high-performance sound attenuation to any space. Its angled faces reduce noise from all directions through the use of sound attenuating Soft Sound acoustical material. Combine as many or as few of its singular V-shaped baffles as desired for a project with ease.

SoftSpan

SoftSpan is a highly versatile, innovative acoustic baffle system that delivers the look of coffered ceilings or large timber trellises without the weight, all while reducing the impact of noise across any interior space. Softspan is available in various colours and finishes to fit any design vision.

Discover how SoftSpan can enhance your next project.

Vapor

Vapor ceiling system achieves modern expression through the abstract pattern. Its subtle complexity lends visual interest across large spans and multiple spaces. Add an optional backer, select from acoustically performative and beautiful Soft Sound® material or close off the system with a light-transmitting frosted polycarbonate backer.

VaporSoft

VaporSoft makes it easy to achieve dramatic visual effects while enhancing acoustic performance at any scale. Its seamlessly tileable pattern options absorb sound and reduce reverberation. Using Soft Sound acoustical material, the range is available in a wide array of colours and wood textures. Add available options and accessories such as Arktura's integrated InLine or Backlight lighting, acoustic and translucent backers, and the design opportunities are endless.

Trace

Trace introduces subtle visual interest inspired by the ephemeral beauty of mist or cirrus clouds—continuous strands weave through a grid to yield a truly elegant visual pattern. The quiet simplicity of the design makes it an ideal background for large spans and multiple rooms.

Delta Drop

Delta Drop uses faceted geometry to transform the visual possibilities for tiled ceiling systems. These preconfigured modules can achieve a variety of looks through variations in pattern, faceting, and panel size.

Particle

Particle micro-perforated ceiling and wall panel system offers the same ease of install and scalability that is seen across the Arktura range. Its intricate yet subtle complexity lends visual interest to spaces big and small and will have people looking twice. Add depth and performance with sound attenuating non-woven acoustic fabric or light-transmitting frosted polycarbonate backers, or seamlessly integrate Arktura InLine or Backlight illumination to make your design truly shine.
