3 advantages that can be found in this family of coverings from AUTEX
Lattice is the name of a family of products from the New Zealand company Autex, which has unique acoustic tiles. The tiles are made of a tile made of recycled material, which gives the product a sculpted appearance with a large surface area that effectively absorbs echo and reverberation in interior spaces. Here are the 3 most prominent advantages of the family:
1. Environmental advantage: friendly to the planet and the user
The concept behind the material from which the tiles are made is incredibly abstract – but nevertheless sophisticatedly thought out. The tiles are made of recycled polyester (PET) that contributes to reducing global waste, processed in a “green” production process with low carbon dioxide emissions.
One of the advantages that plays into the hands of designers is the health advantage. The tile is considered a green material even during use, since it does not emit pollutants, does not “catch” dust and other allergenic substances, and is therefore safe for use even in buildings with strict sanitary requirements, such as hospital corridors, staff rooms, and of course kindergartens.

The most striking feature of the product series, which includes three models, is the extraordinary color. Color is a powerful tool for shaping the feeling in a space, and through it you can leave a powerful sensory message. From the more than twenty colors offered, you can find unique shades such as a yolky “beehive” yellow full of magic and intensity or a calm, deep and mature “morella” blue.
The diverse color wheel, which includes light and dark colors, allows you to create combinations that evoke different feelings and reactions in the space. In one of the options, you can choose several units in the same color but contrasting with the ceiling color, such as choosing the fan-shaped Torus model in red, and combine it with a light ceiling, thus introducing tension and interest to the focal point of the space. Alternatively, you can choose one of the shades of light gray and combine the powerful model with the ceiling color for a solid look and a softer feel.
Another option is to choose several units in different colors. The units can be connected together, as in the Trapezium model, thereby creating interesting color transitions that combine contrasting colors on the scale, such as mustard yellow and green. The units can also be placed next to each other, as in the Eclipse model, creating a structure that expresses all the colors together.
3. Creative advantage: Layers in space
The hanging method, the heights and distances between the tiles, play a significant design role. For example, in high ceilings, the tiles can be hung at different heights and create a stepped and “airy” structure above the focal point where we want to address the acoustics. The stepped hanging adds a three-dimensional aspect to the structure and focuses the gaze on the suspended body, which adds a design element to the space. Alternatively, we can hang the tiles at a uniform height and create a more “dense” look that will provide greater coverage of the ceiling area and color it with interest and texture.
