HABA Abacustica acoustic panels transform noisy classrooms, daycares, and sensory rooms into calmer, more focused spaces - available across Canada and the US through The Sensory Supply.

High noise levels are one of the most overlooked challenges in spaces where children gather. The Abacustica system from HABA Pro's Grow.upp range addresses this directly with a set of ceiling and wall-mounted sound absorbers that are as considered in their design as they are effective in their performance. Each element takes the shape of the sun, the full moon, or clouds - organic forms that feel natural in children's environments rather than institutional. Mounted above the activity, the panels become part of the room, not an afterthought.

The Abacustica sets are available in six size configurations, covering spaces from 215 to 755 square feet (20 m2 to 70 m2), allowing buyers to select the coverage that matches their room without over- or under-specifying. Both a Light Grey and White colour option are offered, making it straightforward to coordinate with Grow.upp furniture or an existing room palette.

Key Features of the HABA Abacustica Acoustic Panel Sets

• Basotect melamine resin foam construction - The open-pored cell structure of Basotect material causes friction as sound energy passes through, dissipating it rather than reflecting it back into the room, which produces genuinely effective noise reduction rather than simply dampening certain frequencies
• Flame-retardant rated to DIN 4102 - Meets fire safety standards required for installation in commercial children's environments including schools, early learning centres, clinics, and therapy spaces, ensuring compliance without requiring additional modification
• Extremely lightweight elements - Each panel is exceptionally light relative to its surface area, making ceiling and wall installation straightforward for facilities teams without the need for specialist structural support
• Quick and easy assembly - All mounting hardware and adhesive are included so installation can be completed without extended room downtime, which matters in school and clinic environments where space is in constant use
• 6 round element shapes in varying diameters - Element options range from 9" to 48.5" in diameter, giving installers the flexibility to create a varied, visually interesting ceiling arrangement while achieving the absorption coverage needed for the room size
• Suitable for many room sizes - Six set configurations scale from small group rooms and calm corners through to large classrooms and multi-use halls, meaning a single product family can serve across an entire facility
• 10-year manufacturer warranty - Made in Germany by HABA Pro to commercial durability standards, backed by a decade of coverage against manufacturing defects, providing long-term confidence for institutional procurement
• Colour options: Light Grey and White - Two neutral finishes that coordinate with the broader Grow.upp system and with standard early learning interior palettes

Why Acoustic Comfort Matters in Sensory and Learning Environments

Sound environments have a direct effect on focus, communication, and comfort. In classrooms, daycares, and group therapy spaces, elevated noise levels make it harder for children to attend, process spoken language, and regulate their responses. For children with auditory sensitivities - including those who experience sensory processing differences - the stress of an acoustically harsh room compounds over time and can interfere significantly with participation and learning.

The Abacustica system addresses this at the source. By reducing reverberation time through the ceiling and wall, it lowers the ambient noise level in the room rather than just blocking external sound. Teachers and therapists report less vocal strain. Children's voices scale back naturally as the echo diminishes. The room simply becomes easier to be in - for everyone.

This product is particularly well-suited to sensory room builds and Grow.upp furniture installations, where acoustic comfort is part of the broader environmental design intent.
