Freestanding acoustic screens dividing an open-plan office into zones

A screen blocks speech only where it blocks the line of sight

Add privacy without a stud wall

Desk-mounted, freestanding or ceiling-hung: pick by how often the floor gets reconfigured

Screens alone can't fix a reverberant floor, so we pair them with ceiling absorption

Acoustic Screens

Acoustic screens are desk-mounted, freestanding or ceiling-hung dividers that add speech privacy between workstations without the cost of a stud wall. Acoustic screens bring sound absorption down to desk height, breaking sightlines and sound paths between workstations without the cost or permanence of a stud wall. Desk-mounted, freestanding or ceiling-hung, they add a layer of speech privacy exactly where open-plan layouts need it most. Because screens are modular, they can be repositioned as teams and layouts change — a flexible alternative to fixed partitioning in offices that expect to reconfigure over time. Combined with ceiling or wall treatment, screens close the acoustic loop at the point where most workplace noise complaints actually originate: the desk next door. We help you choose the height, fabric and mounting method for your layout, then supply and install across the UK — get in touch for a free survey.

Sound absorption

Panels at desk height absorb sound and break sightlines exactly where open-plan noise starts.

Design flexibility

Desk-mounted, freestanding or ceiling-hung — and repositioned as your layout changes.

From first survey to final finish

One team handles all seven stages, the same way on every project, so you always know what happens next.

Acoustic Survey

A surveyor 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.

Acoustic Assessment

Reverberation, ambient noise and noise transfer are read against what the space is used for. The findings arrive as a written report with recommendations, yours to keep with no obligation to proceed.

Acoustic Design

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.

Specification & Quotation

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.

Acoustic Product Supply

Panels, baffles, ceilings and screens come from our Acoustic Solutions range and are supplied to the approved specification. What arrives on site matches what was designed.

Acoustic Installation

Our own engineers fit to the approved drawings, checking positions and fixings as they go. One team supplies and installs, so nothing is handed between contractors.

Acoustic Testing & Compliance

Optional: after fit-out the space can be measured again and compared with the original survey, so the improvement is measured rather than assumed. Results are reported against the relevant standards and the written record goes into your building file.

Process

One contractor from first measurement to final sign-off

We work in a strict sequence. Each stage is verified before the next one begins.

Site Survey & Assessment

We listen to the problem and understand the space. You tell us what you hear and when it matters most.

Design & Quotation

An engineer visits the site and assesses the reverberation, noise transfer and how the space is used. You receive clear recommendations.

Acoustic product FAQs: specification, performance and installation

Answers to the questions buyers ask most about this type of acoustic product.

How tall should acoustic desk screens be?

Tall enough to break the line of sight between seated colleagues, because a screen only blocks speech where it blocks the direct path. Sound bends over the top and around the edges, so a low screen does very little. We set height from your desk layout and seated head height.

Can acoustic screens be moved when we rearrange the office?

Freestanding and desk-mounted screens can be repositioned as teams and layouts change, while ceiling-hung screens are more fixed once installed. Choose by how often your floor is reconfigured: frequent change suits freestanding units, and a stable layout suits hung screens.

Do acoustic screens give visual privacy as well as sound control?

Mostly as a side effect. Screens are designed and rated for acoustic performance, and their height and fabric decide how much they screen from view. If visual privacy is the priority, tell us so we can choose the height and construction to suit.

Can acoustic screens match our existing furniture fabric?

In most cases, yes. Screens come in a wide range of fabrics and colours, and we send samples so you can check them against your desks and seating before ordering. Confirm the fire rating of the fabric you choose as well as the colour.

How many acoustic screens does an open-plan office need?

It depends on the desk layout, headcount and noise sources, not a fixed ratio. We plot screens on your plan where they interrupt speech paths, and pair them with ceiling absorption, because screens alone do not fix a reverberant floor.
