Microperforated Panels
Thousands of tiny holes turn a solid-looking face into an absorber
Wood, metal or laminate: the finish you want can be perforated
Hole size and the air gap behind set which frequencies are absorbed
Repainting on site can clog the perforations
Microperforated Panels
Micro-perforated panels use engineered perforations in a wood, metal or laminate face to absorb sound from a surface that reads as completely solid. Micro-perforated panels use thousands of precisely sized holes across a wood, metal or laminate face to let sound pass through into an absorptive layer behind — delivering genuine acoustic performance from a surface that, at a normal viewing distance, reads as completely solid. Because the perforation pattern is engineered rather than decorative, absorption can be tuned to a specific frequency range by adjusting hole size, spacing and the depth of the air gap behind the panel — useful where a project has a defined reverberation-time target to hit. The near-invisible finish makes micro-perforated panels the preferred choice for corridors, healthcare environments and prestige interiors where visible acoustic treatment is not part of the brief. We tune the hole size, spacing and air gap to your reverberation target, then supply and install across the UK — get in touch for a free survey.
Sound absorption
Engineered hole size, spacing and air gap tune absorption to a specific frequency target.
Design flexibility
Wood, metal or laminate faces read as solid, for interiors where treatment shouldn't be seen.

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.
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.
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.
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 our Acoustic Solutions range and are supplied to the approved specification. What arrives on site matches what was designed.
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.
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.
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.
Supply &
Install
We specify the correct materials and plan the work around your operation. Nothing is left to chance.
Testing & Compliance
We fit the treatment cleanly with minimal disruption. Before-and-after measurement is available as an option.
Acoustic product FAQs: specification, performance and installation
Answers to the questions buyers ask most about this type of acoustic product.
The perforation is engineered. Hole size, spacing and the air gap behind are calculated to tune absorption to a frequency range. A normal perforated panel has larger, often decorative holes and less predictable absorption, so it suits a look rather than a reverberation target.
Up close, yes, but at normal viewing distance most people do not notice them, and the finish reads as solid wood, metal or laminate. We can supply a physical sample so you can judge the pattern in your own lighting before you decide.
Yes, all three are available depending on the range. The face material affects the look, durability, cleaning routine and fire rating as well as the acoustic tuning, so we specify them together against your target and your building's requirements.
They need an air gap and usually an absorbent layer behind the face, so they are installed on a frame rather than flat to the wall. The depth depends on the frequencies you need to absorb. We confirm the build-up against your wall and the room's target.
Yes, the smooth, durable face and lack of fabric make them a common choice for corridors and clinical spaces. Check the infection control requirement and the face's cleanability. Do not repaint on site, because paint can clog the holes and destroy the absorption.
