The Rock of Ages Church was founded by senior pastor Leslie Chua in Singapore. In 2015, the church moved to a new worship and ministry facility located at Eunos, which has a capacity of 500 and can be expanded to sit up to 650 people. There will be four small function rooms each with a seating capacity of 45 and four bigger ones each of which can sit up to 60 people. In addition to that, there will be eight smaller meeting or ministry rooms.
The acoustics of the auditorium was designed to promote speech intelligibility amongst pastors and church-goers. Fabrix™ profiles ML 27S (Mid Load, 27mm Height, Square Profile) and EL 27S (Edge Load, 27mm Height, Square Profile) were used in the construction of the fabric acoustic cladding on the walls of the auditorium.

Barker Road Methodist Church (BRMC) is a long-established place of worship located in the heart of Singapore. As part of its continual renewal and commitment to serving the congregation, the church recently upgraded its main sanctuary and supporting facilities to better accommodate worship services, community gatherings, and outreach ministries. The sanctuary now seats approximately [insert capacity], with flexible spaces available for smaller meetings, prayer groups, and ministry work.
Acoustic performance was a central consideration in the redesign of the sanctuary—ensuring clear speech intelligibility for sermons, scripture readings, and musical worship. Fabrix™ profiles were integrated into the wall and ceiling cladding systems to achieve balanced sound absorption without compromising on visual elegance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Fabrix™ uses acoustically transparent fabric over a sound-absorbing core. This lets sound pass through the fabric and be absorbed behind it, which reduces echo and reverberation and improves speech clarity. That makes Fabrix™ ideal for sermons, music, prayers and other worship events where clear sound is essential.
Yes. Fabrix™ supports fabric wall panels as well as fabric-wrapped ceilings. Its system of UPVC tracks and stretch fabric ensures a clean, seamless finish on walls or ceilings — offering both acoustic treatment and a polished interior look.
Because Fabrix™ uses fabric for the visible surface and a hidden absorptive core, it combines high acoustic efficiency with a refined, customizable appearance. Designers can choose from many fabric colours, textures or edge profiles (square, bevel, round) to match architectural style while maintaining sound control.
Fabrix™ panels typically use mineral-wool or rockwool cores behind the acoustically transparent fabric. These dense substrates effectively absorb a wide range of sound frequencies — especially mid to low frequencies — delivering strong noise control much better than simpler foam panels.
Has Fabrix™ been used in real worship venues, and can the panels handle large congregational spaces?
Yes. For example, the venue at Rock of Ages Church in Singapore (capacity ~500, expandable to 650) used Fabrix™ ML 27S and EL 27S profiles for acoustic wall cladding. This shows that Fabrix™ can scale to large auditoriums or worship halls and deliver speech clarity and acoustic balance suitable for services, sermons or musical worship.
