about this project

Nestled beneath the Westway motorway and adjacent to the Hammersmith & City Tube line, Notting Hill Prep School is the first school in the UK built beneath a motorway. This extraordinary setting presented formidable acoustic challenges: the constant traffic noise above and vibrations below risked creating a highly stressful and disruptive environment for teaching and learning.

sound solution: SonaSpray

Oscar Acoustics’ expertly trained in-house teams applied our SonaSpray K-13 acoustic ceiling spray to the ceilings onto plasterboard and concrete at 25mm thick throughout the reception area, stairwells and corridors. Without this acoustic treatment the schools noise levels would have been unbearably high, creating a very stressful learning and teaching environment for the students and teachers.

why SonaSpray K-13 was the perfect fit

  • Reverberation control: By absorbing sound energy rather than reflecting it, SonaSpray K-13 effectively reduces reverberation times and overall noise levels—essential in environments beneath road and rail infrastructure.

  • Seamless, seamless finish: Its spray application conforms to complex architectural forms without compromising visual aesthetics, preserving the school’s design integrity.

  • Health and environmental credentials: Sonaspray’s M1 classification for low-emitting building materials ensures excellent indoor air quality.

a better learning environment

  • Calmer, clearer spaces: Our SonaSpray acoustic treatment significantly reduced noise levels, creating a welcoming, focused environment in reception, corridors, and stairwells.

  • Enhanced wellbeing: By curbing reverberation, SonaSpray improved speech clarity and reduced stress—a crucial factor for children and educators alike.

  • Sustainability gains: SonaSpray is made from recycled, sustainable materials, supporting LEED, BREEAM and WELL certifications. It also contributes to better air quality and thermal efficiency for healthier and more energy-efficient spaces.
