Product and finish selection
Help identifying suitable products, colours and finishes for the space and design intent.
For architects and designers
Make acoustic specification simpler
From initial product research and samples through to technical information, specification wording, budget pricing and contractor support, Muffle can help you bring everything together around one live project.
Register your project once and our team will help you develop and protect the specification through design, tender and procurement. Continue using the specification tools you already work with. We provide the practical support around the acoustic package.
Free support. No new software to learn and no obligation to purchase.
Specification support
Everything you need to progress the specification.
Finding the right product is only the beginning. You may also need samples, finishes, imagery, performance information, certificates, specification wording, quantities and reliable pricing before the selection can move forward.
Registering your project gives Muffle enough information to provide relevant support without you having to start again every time you contact us.
This service sits alongside NBS, BIMobject and whichever specification process your practice already uses. It is practical, personal support around the acoustic element of a live project, not another system to learn or manage.
Samples and imagery
Project samples, colour options and suitable imagery for client presentations and visualisations.
Technical information
Relevant datasheets, acoustic performance, fire information and available environmental documentation.
Specification support
Clear product descriptions, schedules and specification wording ready to include within the project information.
Quantities and budget guidance
Assistance with approximate coverage, quantities, budget pricing and suitable alternatives where required.
Tender and contractor support
A clear route for the QS or contractor to obtain accurate information and pricing for the specified products.
Keeping the project connected
Keep the project information together.
Where useful, we will bring the selected products and supporting information into a clear project pack that can be shared with the client, QS and contractor.

Protecting the design intent
Help protect your original design intent.
Product selections can become disconnected as a project passes from design to tender and procurement.
By keeping Muffle involved, we can answer technical and pricing queries, support the contractor and help ensure that the products being priced reflect those originally selected.
The architect retains control of the specification. Muffle provides the product knowledge and continuity needed to support it.
