Vicoustic is at the forefront of sustainable acoustic solutions for smart homes and private cinemas

As the smart home and home cinema markets continue to grow, creating spaces that deliver premium audio experiences while maintaining eco-conscious standards has become a priority. For integrators and resellers, Vicoustic offers a perfect blend of high-performance acoustic solutions and sustainable innovation. Recognized globally as a leader in innovative acoustic treatment, Vicoustic is at the forefront of shaping the future of sound environments for homes and beyond.

A Milestone in Sustainability and Innovation

In 2024, Vicoustic reached a significant milestone with the opening of its state-of-the-art production facility in Paços de Ferreira, Portugal. This advanced production factory exemplifies the company’s commitment to sustainability and innovation. Designed to maximize production efficiency and minimize environmental impact, the facility incorporates solar-powered systems using photovoltaic panels, a comprehensive waste reduction program, and a circular economy approach that reuses leftover materials for packaging.

At the core of Vicoustic’s environmental mission is the use of VicPET Wool, a material mostly produced from recycled plastic bottles. Since its introduction in 2016, this material has recycled hundreds of tons of plastic, transforming them into high-performance acoustic panels. 

The facility’s cutting-edge Research and Development Vicoustic Lab ensures Vicoustic products remain at the forefront of acoustic technology, with a Multifunctional Room, equipped with magnetic walls, that allows rapid assembly and testing of various acoustic products, and an Innovative Acoustic Chamber.

Tailored Solutions for Smart Homes and Home Cinemas

Vicoustic’s acoustic treatments are engineered to meet the needs of integrators working in smart home and home cinema spaces. Products like the Flat Panel VMT and the Ultra collection of high-performance panels combine high sound absorption with customizable designs, allowing them to seamlessly integrate into modern interiors. The Ultra panels feature a modular design that allows users to adjust their configuration through the VicFix system. Similarly, VMT panels offer extensive customization, enabling the replication of any color, pattern, or shape, as well as personalized artwork or decorative elements that enhance the aesthetic of these spaces.

For home cinemas and smart homes, Vicoustic panels help create immersive soundscapes by reducing echoes and enhancing sound clarity, ensuring every note and whisper is perfectly audible.
