Autex Acoustics® Reimagines Frontier™ Raft

Rethinking acoustic solutions through considered design and reduced environmental impact.

The Next Evolution of Frontier™ Raft

With the belief that improvement is never finished, Autex Acoustics® has reimagined Frontier™ Raft Acoustic Beams. Every element of the system has been refined to reduce embodied carbon, minimise waste, and support a more circular approach to interior design.

Less Embodied Carbon

Reimagined with a minimum of 63% less embodied carbon, Frontier™ Raft demonstrates how thoughtful product design can deliver high acoustic performance while reducing environmental impact. As embodied carbon becomes locked into a building once construction is complete, material choices have a significant and lasting effect.

Smarter Materials

The new Frontier™ Raft goes beyond acoustic performance, with key suspension and assembly elements now made from 100% recycled PET derived from our own manufacturing waste.

Through our PET pelletising process, production offcuts are transformed into new components, giving valuable materials a second life and helping keep resources in circulation.

Design Flexibility

Available in three profile sizes, Frontier™ Raft gives designers the freedom to achieve both their acoustic and aesthetic goals:

  • 50 × 55 mm
  • 50 × 85 mm
  • 50 × 135 mm
