Glass, wood, bamboo, or stone? You were already familiar with those. But did you know that the modular partition walls from Jansen Wall Solutions can also be covered with fabric? Our upholstered Modular walls combine flexibility, acoustic comfort, and a pure experience. Want soms mag een wand niet alleen functioneel zijn, maar ook warm aanvoelen. Zoals we zelf zeggen: ontwerpen zonder grenzen.
A space only truly becomes powerful when it appeals to multiple senses. Upholstery adds a soft, tactile layer to your interior concept. Think of warm meeting rooms, homelike workspaces, or striking hospitality environments.
For the finishing, we work with high-quality Belgian-made fabrics, including those from Aristide. These fabrics are suitable for both furniture and wall applications, combining a refined look with the necessary technical properties. The range varies from subtle textures to more pronounced designs and colors, ensuring every wall finish can be tailored to the interior concept and the functional requirements of your project.
Acoustics as a silent asset
Acoustics are not an aesthetic afterthought, but a defining factor for comfort and performance. Research shows that distracting ambient noise is one of the biggest frustrations in open office environments. Excessive reverberation time leads to reduced concentration and lower productivity. In healthcare environments, excessive echo can even lead to additional stress for patients and staff.
The ideal reverberation time in an office environment averages between 0.5 and 0.8 seconds, depending on the function of the room. In hard, minimalist interiors without sufficient absorbent materials, that reverberation time often increases significantly. This is where upholstery plays a vital role.
By covering our modular partitions with high-quality textile finishes, we increase the sound absorption of the wall surface. Fabric Modular walls act as an additional absorbent layer that captures sound waves instead of bouncing them back into the room. This achieves a significant improvement in absorption values.
Limitless possibilities
With the J’Clickd and J’Plus partitions, you can shape and reshape any space in no time. Add a fabric finish to that, and the design freedom becomes even greater. Upholstery turns a wall into more than just a dividing element; it becomes a full-fledged part of the interior concept. Depending on the application and the desired look, you can choose from various types of textiles:
- Finely woven fabrics with a smooth structure for a calm, professional look in offices or meeting rooms.
- Coarser weaves or bouclé textures that bring extra depth and tactility to hospitality or lounge environments.
- Technical, durable fabrics with high Martindale ratings for intensively used spaces such as healthcare institutions or public buildings.
- Acoustically high-performing textiles specifically developed to absorb sound and reduce reverberation.
Additionally, there are fabrics with flame-retardant properties, easy-clean coatings, or antibacterial treatments, depending on the project requirements.
Color as a strategic tool
The choice of fabric color is also rarely purely aesthetic. It influences experience, behavior, and identity:
- Soft, neutral tones such as sand, beige, or light gray create peace and focus. Ideal for workspaces where concentration is key.
- Warm earth tones enhance the sense of comfort and security in hospitality and healthcare environments.
- Bold accent colors can be used for wayfinding, branding, or visually defining zones within open spaces.
- Tone-on-tone combinations provide subtlety and refinement without visual clutter.
In addition to solid fabrics, subtle patterns or graphic motifs are also possible. By placing patterns strategically, you can, for example, distinguish meeting zones from open workspaces or create a certain dynamic in a long corridor. Our LUBDUB design cell is happy to brainstorm with you, from concept to technical execution.
