Donegan Acoustics have been supplying and installing for the acoustics market from 2008. During that time we have completed hundreds of acoustic treatments ranging across a wide range of industries including education, manufacturing, hospitality and residential.
We have become the go-to acoustics company for acoustic treatments within the education sector offering a free of charge site survey and acoustic modelling service followed by our expert installation service for GP halls, sports halls and classrooms all over the island of Ireland.
We have recently designed new products that compliment the ever increasing requirement of acoustics in new Office Fitouts, helping Fitout companies with design and delivering a high end product that architects are demanding.
We also have extensive experience in the area of acoustic insulation with parti walls, ceilings and floors of domestic residential properties, pubs, nightclubs and engine rooms.
We work extensively with the country’s leading acoustic consultants, architects, engineers to provide the most practical and cost effective solutions to suit each individual project.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to raise awareness throughout the island of Ireland of the importance of having the Correct Acoustic Environment within a room space, and to offer our help through our professionalism, efficiency and industry knowledge.
