Acoustic plaster made from textile waste at INSP! in Roskilde
Acoustic plaster made from textile waste at INSP! in Roskilde When sound, sustainability, and community come together in harmony. At INSP! in Roskilde, both acoustics and green ambitions have been turned up a notch. In this social and cultural hub, where creativity, relationships, and social responsibility take center stage, the acoustics have just been upgraded – with a product created for both the ear and the conscience. The project, carried out by Mejsegaarden for the association INSP!, differs in several ways from our usual assignments. Here, the base layer does not consist of our own acoustic panels but rather mineral wool panels from Rockwool. Nevertheless, Hz Acoustic has played a central role in the final result – because it is our Hz Acoustic Plaster 09 that forms the visible and tangible surface. And this acoustic plaster deserves special attention. Acoustic plaster with a sustainable dimension Hz Acoustic Plaster 09 is not an ordinary acoustic plaster. It is produced at our own factory in Frederikshavn and made from recycled textile waste, including discarded linens from a local laundry, which are shredded and incorporated into the plaster. This gives the surface a unique texture, a warm tactility, and, not least, a sustainable profile that perfectly matches a place like INSP!, where responsibility is a core value. The structure added by the textile fibers not only provides a special visual character but also contributes to sound absorption, ensuring that the acoustic environment functions effectively. And it does. Rooms that previously suffered from disturbing echo and reverberation now have a comfortable and controlled soundscape, creating space for conversation, music, meetings, and community. A different project with a familiar result At Hz Acoustic, we are used to delivering complete acoustic ceiling systems, providing the entire setup from panels and plaster to everything in between. But this project is different. Here, our task consisted solely of supplying the acoustic plaster. This proves just how strong a role the acoustic plaster itself can play in both the overall appearance and the acoustic performance. For the client, it also provides flexibility to choose the solution that best fits the budget and framework, without compromising on sound or aesthetics. A cost that hits the mark The project was completed at a price of approximately 400 DKK + VAT per m², which is highly competitive compared to both traditional ceilings and complete acoustic systems. This makes the solution relevant for a wide range of applications – from cultural centers and schools to offices and communal spaces, where budget and function must be balanced. More than just better acoustics INSP! is not an ordinary building. It is a place where people meet, ideas develop, and social differences are bridged. It is therefore only fitting that a material with social conscience is used here. Hz Acoustic Plaster 09 not only supports great acoustics but also represents a conscious choice to minimize resource waste and promote circular production.
