Singapore’s compact urban lifestyle and high humidity create unique challenges for achieving optimal acoustics. Homeowners increasingly seek whole house acoustic treatment that harmonizes with tropical climates while complying with stringent Green Mark certifications. Rising demand for multi-functional spaces—blending living, working, and relaxation—drives the need for customized wooden solutions that absorb noise, enhance speech clarity, and elevate aesthetic appeal. MRETTY’s innovative approach integrates advanced material engineering, biophilic design, and smart installation techniques to deliver seamless acoustic comfort tailored to Singapore’s distinct environment.
Why Whole House Acoustic Treatment Matters in Singapore
Singapore’s green building mandates and urban density necessitate solutions that address:
-
Reverberation control: High ceilings and hard surfaces amplify noise in condos and HDB flats.
-
Humidity resistance: Materials must withstand tropical moisture without warping or mold.
-
Aesthetic integration: Seamless blending with minimalist or luxury interiors.
MRETTY’s designs achieve 99% formaldehyde reduction through FSC-certified processes, validated by SGS Singapore.

Case Studies: MRETTY’s Singapore Success Stories
Case 1: Marina Bay SkyVille Penthouse
A 300-sq-ft penthouse faced excessive echo from floor-to-ceiling windows. MRETTY implemented:
-
J-slot hidden hinges for seamless cabinetry
-
25mm ENF OSB panels with mineral wool backing
-
Angled perforated panels: Optimized for 2,000Hz–4,000Hz frequency absorption
Post-treatment, the space achieved -32dB reverberation time, exceeding BCA’s Healthier Homes Standard.
Case 2: Tampines Intergenerational Townhouse
A family home required acoustic zoning between living and study areas. Solutions included:
-
Modular teak partitions: Adjustable sound barriers
-
Bamboo ceiling clouds: Absorbed airborne noise by 45%
-
Hidden cabling: Integrated into grooved panels
The design won 2024 Singapore Interior Design Awards for multi-generational innovation.
