Problem

Today’s acoustic panels are often made from glass wool or petroleum-based materials—both of which have a negative environmental impact. The construction sector is known for massive material consumption and high waste production; glass wool alone generates 2.5 million tons of waste annually in Europe.

Enova highlights the development of climate-friendly materials as a necessary step forward and recommends replacing glass wool—clearly underscoring the need for alternatives. Building owners and contractors face increasing certification requirements (such as BREEAM), while also needing to ensure good indoor environments and meet acoustic standards (as defined in the Building Code, §13-8). This creates a growing demand for new solutions.

This is where Demp comes in. We offer acoustic panels that meet the industry’s strict sound and environmental standards. Building owners and contractors want solutions that meet regulatory demands, while interior architects and acoustic consultants seek products that combine functionality and aesthetics. Demp solves both challenges by offering a solution that merges high-performance acoustics with design.

The Customer

Demp sells sound-absorbing panels to building owners and contractors working on new developments or renovations of commercial buildings—especially office spaces. These customers need to meet acoustic requirements under the Building Technical Regulations and often aim to improve their environmental profile through higher BREEAM scores.

In sales and marketing, the main focus is on interior architects, who are often key decision-makers in the selection of materials and acoustic solutions. Demp builds strong relationships with this target group through meetings and trade fairs, aiming to become a natural part of their project workflows.

The Solution

Demp offers acoustic panels that satisfy both sound and environmental performance requirements, helping projects achieve stronger sustainability certifications. The panels can be customized for different types of spaces—such as offices and restaurants—making them attractive to building owners, contractors, and interior architects alike.

Our panels address the growing need for solutions that combine acoustics, aesthetics, and sustainability. Demp is a responsible alternative that promotes smart material use, supports a circular economy, improves indoor environments, and contributes to higher BREEAM scores.
