Acoustic Solutions: Sound Absorption & Noise Reduction

Home – Services – Acoustic Solutions

Create a calmer, clearer space

Every environment — from open‑plan offices and classrooms to restaurants and homes — suffers when unwanted noise builds up. Acoustic panels solve this problem by absorbing sound reflections and reducing echo and reverberation. Unlike soundproofing (which blocks all sound transmission), acoustic treatment improves the quality of sound within a room by controlling reverberation and echoes. Proper acoustic design enhances speech clarity, reduces fatigue and stress, and improves concentration and comfort for occupants.

Why choose our acoustic panels?

High performance – Our panels use high‑quality PET fibre and mineral wool cores. These materials deliver excellent absorption across a wide frequency range and outperform cheap foam products, which only absorb high frequencies and may irritate sensitive users.
Flexible thickness options – Choose from 25 mm panels for high‑frequency control, 50 mm panels for mid‑frequency absorption, or 100 mm panels and bass traps to tame low‑frequency resonances.
Aesthetically pleasing – Panels are available in wood finishes, fabric wraps, custom colours and printed graphics. Options like wood acoustic panels, white acoustic panels and living‑room acoustic panels (high‑volume keywords with search volumes around 28 000, 3 300 and 4 400 searches per month respectively) ensure the product appeals to style‑conscious clients.
Eco‑friendly – Our PET fibre cores are made from recycled materials. They are low‑VOC and safe for indoor use.
Easy installation – Lightweight, modular panels come with mounting hardware suitable for walls or ceilings. They can be moved or expanded as your needs change.

How our panels work

Acoustic treatment vs soundproofing

Many people confuse soundproofing with acoustic treatment. Soundproofing uses dense materials and air‑gap construction to block sound from entering or leaving a space; it is intensive and costly and is reserved for studios or movie theaters. Sound absorption, by contrast, focuses on reducing echo and reverberation inside a room using lightweight, porous materials. When sound waves hit these materials, they are trapped and converted to heat, shortening the decay time and creating a more pleasant acoustic environment. Because absorption preserves desired sounds while reducing unwanted reflections, it is ideal for offices, schools, libraries and restaurants.

Materials and thickness

The core material determines a panel’s effectiveness. PET fibre panels perform well across the spectrum and are safe and durable, while low‑density foam only attenuates high frequencies and rock fibre may cause irritation. Panel thickness affects which frequencies are absorbed: thin panels (~25 mm) handle high frequencies, 50 mm panels cover mid‑range sounds, and 100 mm panels (or dedicated bass traps) address low‑frequency resonances. Proper selection ensures balanced absorption and clear sound.

Placement and coverage

Placement matters. Panels should be distributed evenly on walls and ceilings to absorb early reflections and lower reverberation time. Large, bare rooms or hard surfaces like concrete and glass require more panels than furnished rooms to achieve the same reduction in reverberation. An insufficient number of panels leaves some areas untreated and reduces the overall effect. For critical listening environments such as recording studios, additional bass traps and diffusers may be needed to manage low frequencies and comb filtering.

Applications

Open‑plan offices and meeting rooms – Reduce ambient noise and improve speech intelligibility so teams can collaborate without distraction.
Educational facilities – Create quiet classrooms and lecture halls where students can focus and teachers’ voices carry clearly.
Hospitality venues – Enhance the ambience of restaurants, cafés, hotels and conference rooms by controlling reverberation and allowing conversations to flow comfortably.
Home theatres and living spaces – Experience cinematic sound quality and privacy in home cinemas, gaming rooms or open living areas.
Recording studios and broadcast booths – Achieve professional acoustic conditions for music production and podcasting.
Healthcare and wellness centres – Promote calm, privacy and patient comfort by absorbing noise in clinics, hospitals and therapy rooms.

We understand you may have questions when considering a partner for design, construction, or specialty installations. Below we address some common queries our clients have. If you don’t see your question here, feel free to reach out directly – we’re always happy to provide more information.

What’s the difference between acoustic panels and soundproofing?

Acoustic panels treat a room’s acoustics by absorbing reflections and reducing reverberation, which improves clarity and reduces stress. Soundproofing, on the other hand, involves building heavy walls, ceilings and air gaps to block sound transmission. Soundproofing is ideal for spaces requiring complete isolation, such as recording studios and cinemas, while sound absorption is more practical for offices, schools and homes.

Will acoustic panels completely block noise from outside?

No. Acoustic panels are designed to absorb and dissipate internal sound reflections. They reduce echo and reverberation inside a room but do not block external noise transmission. To prevent sound from entering or leaving a space, full soundproofing measures (insulation, mass‑loaded barriers, decoupling) are required.

How many panels do I need for my room?

The quantity depends on room size, furnishings and the desired reverberation time. Large, bare rooms or spaces with hard surfaces like concrete and glass require more panels than smaller, furnished rooms. Panels should be distributed evenly on walls and ceilings to ensure consistent absorption. Consult our specialists for a precise acoustic calculation.

What materials are used in your panels?

Our standard panels use high‑density PET fibre cores and mineral wool. PET fibre provides broad‑spectrum absorption and is safe and non‑irritating; low‑quality foam only absorbs high frequencies and rock wool can cause irritation.

Which panel thickness should I choose?

Choose 25 mm panels for controlling high‑frequency flutter echo. 50 mm panels handle mid frequencies, making them suitable for offices, classrooms and general use. 100 mm panels and dedicated bass traps address low‑frequency issues in recording studios or home cinemas.

Can acoustic panels improve concentration and productivity?

Yes. Studies show that reducing reverberation and noise levels leads to calmer moods and higher productivity in workplaces and schools. By absorbing excess noise, acoustic panels create a more focused and comfortable environment where speech is intelligible and stress levels are lower.

Do you offer customization for size, colour or artwork?

Absolutely. We can supply panels in various sizes, shapes, colours and wood finishes. Options include fabric‑wrapped panels with corporate branding, printed artwork, or natural wood veneers. Contact us for bespoke designs tailored to your aesthetic and acoustic requirements.
