Création Baumann: Calm and serene

In addition, some of the fabrics are characterized by additional functions such as dim-out, flame resistance, heat and glare protection. Also possible are specially-made fabrics in custom designs and colours, and thus acoustic solutions that have been precisely tailored to the needs of a project.

This is made possible by the unique production depth of the company, which extends from design, through development, to production - all from one source. With over 125 years of know-how and traditionally high quality standards, Création Baumann, based in Langenthal, Switzerland, is now in its fourth generation. Great attention is paid to the steady and innovative development of the products. In the field of acoustic fabrics, for example, a few years ago the company succeeded in developing, using a new yarn and weaving technique, lightweight, transparent and sound-absorbing materials made of Trevira CS. The collection is constantly being expanded, and with 'Primacoustic' and 'Terzacoustic' also offers transparent fabrics with a matt look. This is made possible by the use of special, transparent foil yarn, which eliminates the technical gloss. 'Reflectacoustic' is a real all-rounder, because this transparent fabric combines several functions in one: It absorbs sound at w 0.6, while simultaneously providing high heat and glare protection. A slightly striped look enhances the transparency of the fabric, while the rear of the fabric with its aluminium-metallized special thread reflects sunlight and reduces heat radiation into the room.

The Langenthal-based textile company presented its first collection of acoustic fabrics as far back as 2004. Since then, this innovation has been extended by the Swiss specialists for functional textiles into the largest range of its kind. With its 'Reflectacoustic' innovation, Création Baumann is expanding its expertise in this area further.
