The Advanced Acoustics Difference: 20 Years of British Manufacturing Excellence
Shaun Snaith
Since 2004, we've been doing things differently. While others chase trends or cut corners with imported products, we've stayed focused on what matters: manufacturing quality acoustic solutions right here in Britain, with sustainability built in from the start.
British Manufacturing, British Standards
Our Mansfield facility has been the heart of Advanced Acoustics for over two decades. Here, we control every stage of production—from selecting raw materials to final quality inspection. This isn't about patriotism; it's about performance.
UK manufacturing gives us advantages that imported alternatives simply can't match:
- Next-day delivery across the UK – Most orders ship same-day, arriving next working day. No waiting weeks for overseas stock.
- Consistent quality control – We inspect every product before it leaves our facility. No surprises, no compromises.
- Custom capabilities – Need a non-standard size or specification? Our UK facility can respond with agility that overseas factories can't.
- Reliable stock – We manufacture continuously, maintaining inventory levels that keep your projects on schedule.
- Lower carbon footprint – Shorter supply chains mean reduced shipping distances and emissions compared to imported products.
90% of our products are made in Britain. That's not a marketing claim—it's our operational reality and competitive advantage.
Trusted by the Best in Britain
When the BBC needs broadcast-grade acoustics, when McLaren F1 requires precision engineering environments, when Pinewood Studios specifies materials for professional film and TV production—they chose Advanced Acoustics.
Our client list reads like a who's who of British excellence, and it's no accident. These organizations demand performance, reliability, and accountability. They can't afford to compromise on acoustics, and they know UK manufacturing delivers the consistency they need.
Alongside these household names, we serve hundreds of architects, acoustic consultants, commercial fit-out specialists, and homeowners who value quality and service over cheap imports.
Sustainability That's More Than Marketing
We've been incorporating recycled materials into our products since long before "sustainability" became a buzzword. It's simply the right thing to do—and it makes good business sense.
Many product lines use recycled content:
- Terrac Rubber Underlay – Recycled materials transformed into high-performance sound absorption
- SilentCork3 Underlay – Recycled cork granules delivering superior impact insulation
- Mass Loaded Vinyl – Recycled content without compromising density or soundproofing performance
- Acousti-Felt – Recycled textile fibres providing acoustic insulation while diverting waste from landfill
Beyond recycled materials, we practice waste reduction daily:
- Foam scrap from production is collected, processed, and reused—not sent to landfill
- All cardboard packaging is recycled through local partners
- Precision cutting and production planning minimize material waste
- Our products are built to last, reducing replacement frequency and lifecycle environmental impact
The Quality You Can Hear (and Measure)
We don't ask you to take our word for it. Every product we manufacture undergoes independent acoustic testing, and we provide transparent performance data on request. Datasheets, fire certifications, Building Regulations compliance—it's all documented and available.
This matters when you're specifying materials for a commercial project or investing in your home studio. You need confidence that the products will perform as promised, meet regulatory requirements, and deliver long-term value.
Our products comply with:
- UK Building Regulations Part E (sound insulation)
- Fire safety standards for commercial and residential applications
- Industry acoustic performance benchmarks verified by independent testing
Service That Matches the Quality
Great products are only half the equation. We've built our reputation on straightforward service:
- Friendly technical advice – Not sure which product suits your application? We'll give you an honest second opinion before you buy.
- Custom cutting available – Standard sizes don't fit? We can cut to your specifications.
- Fast dispatch – Most orders leave our facility the same day you place them.
- No-nonsense ordering – Clear pricing, transparent stock levels, easy online ordering.
We're not here to oversell or upsell. We're here to help you get the acoustics right, whether you're a homeowner tackling your first project or a professional specifying materials for a major commercial fitout.
