Acoustic desk screens
A desk screen is the cheapest acoustic intervention in an office and the one people notice first. Ours are cut from 100% PET, so they absorb speech at the desk rather than reflecting it back into the room.
Overview
CNC-carved, fabric-wrapped and pressed PET screens that cut sightlines and soak up speech in open-plan desks.
GREENISH desk screens are made from the same recycled PET board as our wall panels: needled polyester fibre, thermally bonded, with no added adhesives or formaldehyde binders. The board is stiff enough to stand unsupported at 900 mm, light enough to clamp to a 25 mm worktop, and soft enough to take pins, notes and drawings.
Three constructions cover most specifications. Pressed screens are a single PET board with a CNC-cut edge profile. Carved screens add milled patterns — lines, grids, botanical forms — that break up the surface without perforating it. Fabric-wrapped screens bond PET to a textile face for a warmer, more domestic look in client-facing areas.
- Speech absorption at source. 0.85 NRC board positioned at head height intercepts direct speech before it reaches the room, reducing the Lombard effect that makes open offices loud.
- Tool-free fixing. C-clamps, zip ties, magnetic strips or PET hinges. Screens can be re-arranged by facilities teams without a fitter or a drill.
- Edge detailing. Square, chamfered, rounded or stitch-bound edges. Aluminium and PET connectors let you build runs without visible joints.
- Tackable, repairable. Pins and documents hold directly in the fibre. Scuffs sand out; damaged panels are replaceable individually.
- Made to the run. Standard widths of 1400–1800 mm, plus insert, U-type and L-type returns cut to the drawing.
- Fire-rated board. The same 9 / 12 mm board is available as EN 13501-1 Class B in 38 of the 46 colours.

What makes it work.
Speech absorption at source
0.85 NRC board positioned at head height intercepts direct speech before it reaches the room, reducing the Lombard effect that makes open offices loud.
Tool-free fixing
C-clamps, zip ties, magnetic strips or PET hinges. Screens can be re-arranged by facilities teams without a fitter or a drill.
Edge detailing
Square, chamfered, rounded or stitch-bound edges. Aluminium and PET connectors let you build runs without visible joints.
Tackable, repairable
Pins and documents hold directly in the fibre. Scuffs sand out; damaged panels are replaceable individually.
Made to the run
Standard widths of 1400–1800 mm, plus insert, U-type and L-type returns cut to the drawing.
Fire-rated board
The same 9 / 12 mm board is available as EN 13501-1 Class B in 38 of the 46 colours.
