Striking Timber Battens in the UK’s Largest Indoor Arena
Co-op Live, Manchester
Co-op Live, the Harry Styles-backed arena, purposely designed by Populous’ Jump Studios for optimising the live music event experience for audiences makes a bold statement of fun and entertainment.
The two key criteria to the build were optimised acoustics and sustainability. Our FSC-certified American Oak Click-on Battens, integral to the venue’s striking interiors serve towards both criteria while adding visual interest to the design.

Bold Acoustic Design
The Decibel Club features Sculptform’s block-profile Click-on Battens. The battens’ geometric precision along with black acoustic backing, delivers a bold, contemporary design. This area benefits from enhanced sound clarity, perfect for private gatherings or performances.
Acoustically, timber Click-on Battens perform very well due to the natural acoustic properties which can control excessive echo and reverberation. The network of fibres and cells in timber convert sound energy into heat energy through vibration and internal friction. Because of this friction, wood has stronger sound dampening capacity and is chosen for areas where sound needs to be absorbed.
