Acoustic Panels
Thickness decides which frequencies a panel absorbs
Panels stop echo inside a room; they don't block sound passing through walls
Fixed with adhesive or mechanical fixings, chosen to suit your wall
Ask for the absorption class: Class A means αw of 0.90 or above
Acoustic Panels
Acoustic panels are fabric-wrapped, sound-absorbing wall panels. They replace hard, reflective surfaces with absorption, which reduces the reverberation and echo that make open-plan offices, auditoriums and public halls tiring to be in, and restores speech clarity without changing the architecture.
Fabrics, colours and mounting formats range from panels that blend into the wall to deliberate feature walls. Class A absorption ratings are available, and panels work on the mid-to-high frequencies where speech sits. We specify finish, absorption class and fixing method, then supply and install across the UK.

From first survey to final finish
Seven stages, one point of contact. Book a free survey or call +44 1908 880191, and we'll come back to you with the next step.
An acoustician visits the site, or works from your drawings and photos when a visit isn't practical. Either way, the room, its surfaces and how it is used are recorded before any advice is given.
Reverberation, ambient noise and noise transfer are read against what the space is used for. The findings arrive as an AI-assisted acoustic report with recommendations, yours to keep with no obligation to proceed.
Treatment is modelled against a reverberation target, then drawn up with panel positions, fixings and finishes. Nothing moves forward until you have approved the design.
Every quotation comes with the specification behind it, listing products by type, quantity and finish with costs set out line by line. What is quoted is what the design calls for.
Panels, baffles, ceilings and screens come from the manufacturers we work with and are supplied to the approved specification. What arrives on site matches what was designed.
Our installation team fits to the approved drawings, checking positions and fixings as they go. One team supplies and installs the treatment.
Optional paid add-on: after fit-out the space can be measured again and compared with the original survey, so the improvement is measured rather than assumed. Compliance testing is carried out with our testing partner, EMC Acoustics, and the written record goes into your building file.

Specification, performance and installation
Your product questions, answered.
For most offices, schools and meeting rooms, choose panels rated Class A, which means a weighted absorption coefficient (αw) of 0.90 or above under BS EN ISO 11654. Class A gives the most absorption per panel, so you need fewer of them. The right amount still depends on the room's volume and target reverberation time, which we work out in a site survey.
The number comes from calculation, not a rule of thumb. We take the room's volume and reverberation time, then work out how much absorption reaches your target using the Sabine equation. A small meeting room may need a handful of panels, while a large open-plan floor needs far more, and often the ceiling should be treated before the walls.
No. Acoustic panels absorb sound inside a room, which reduces echo and improves speech clarity. They do not block sound passing into the next room, which needs sound insulation built into the wall or floor. If you can hear a neighbour through a wall, a panel on your side will barely change it.
Yes, most standard walls take acoustic panels with the right fixing. Adhesive suits smooth, sound surfaces, while mechanical fixings suit heavier panels or uneven walls. We check the wall type at the survey and choose the method, because plasterboard, blockwork and concrete each need a different approach.
They can fade in strong direct sunlight, depending on the fabric. Fabrics carry a lightfastness rating, so for rooms with sunny windows we suggest a higher-rated fabric. Away from direct sun, fabric panels keep their colour well and normally need only an occasional light vacuum.
