Materials

Greensafe

At GIK Acoustics, sustainability and clean materials are core values. Greensafe reflects our commitment to high-performing, responsibly sourced, ormaldehyde-free materials—fabrics, rockwools, rigid fiberglass, and plywoods. These are widely used in construction worldwide and safe for human use in finished products, allowing us to deliver top acoustic performance and safety while reducing environmental impact.

Camira Cara Fabrics

GIK is excited to use the Camira Cara fabric line standard in all our products. The Camira fabric will look familiar to fans of Guilford of Maine fabrics, similar to their FR701 line but with different color options. With a richer aesthetic and tactile feel and wider range of available colors compared to our previous standard offerings, Camira Cara allows every product to look as good as it performs.

Care Instructions

Vacuum regularly. Wipe with a damp cloth using soap and water or use proprietary upholstery shampoo. For deeper cleaning use bleach or alcohol.

Premium Fabric for Acoustics

Camira Cara is a premium, acoustically transparent fabric designed for wall panels, acoustic treatments, and other interior applications. Its high-quality, durable weave provides excellent sound permeability while offering a stylish, professional finish. With dozens of colors to choose from, you can match your treatment to your room’s aesthetic without sacrificing acoustic performance.

Acoustic Transparency

Camira Cara fabric is engineered to be highly breathable, ensuring airflow and sound waves pass cleanly through the fabric to the absorber behind it while offering a small amount of additional sound absorption. This makes it ideal for use on broadband absorbers, bass traps, and diffuser/absorber hybrid sound panels where performance matters, as well as for covering larger architectural acoustic wall assemblies.

Durability & Easy Care

Cara is made from 100% polypropylene, a fiber chosen for strength, resilience, and ease of maintenance. As one of the best acoustic fabric options available, it’s resistant to wear, fading, and stretching, ensuring your sound-absorbing panels and projects stay looking sharp for years.

Design Flexibility

With an extensive palette of rich colors, Cara offers design flexibility that suits studios, offices, home theaters, and public spaces. Its visual appeal is comparable to Guilford of Maine fabrics, making it a perfect alternative for those who want a premium look at a more accessible price.

FAQ

How does Camira Cara compare to Guilford of Maine FR701?

Cara is very similar in weave, look, and acoustic performance. The main differences are the specific color palette and that Cara is offered at a lower cost through GIK. If you’ve been looking for the best fabric type for your acoustic projects, this is it!

Is Camira Cara fabric acoustically transparent?

Yes. Cara is designed to allow air flow to pass through freely while adding a bit of extra absorption. It's an excellent choice for acoustic panels and bass traps. We don't recommend it for use in custom speaker grilles; the extra absorption it provides can muffle the tweeter.

Can I use Camira Cara fabric for non-acoustic projects?

Absolutely. Its durability and aesthetic appeal make it suitable for office panels, upholstery, and even drapes, drapery, or decorative wall applications.

How wide is the fabric, and how is it sold?

Cara fabric is 66 inches (170cm) wide and is sold by the linear yard, making it easy to order the right amount for your project.
