Acoustic Ceiling Panels

Acoustic Wall Panels are high performing, sound absorbing wall panels, ideal for dramatically improving room acoustics. Designed to reduce reverberation and echo in areas with hard surfaces.

These Class A panels are made to order in custom sizes and colours to fit any space and add to the design flare of your choice to any room.

Sound absorption can be used in any space where reverberation and echo is creating a problem with speech clarity and general noise volume. Typically this is associated with larger, more cavernous spaces like:

    –   Offices and meeting rooms
    –   Hotels
    –   Village halls
    –   Restaurants
    –   Schools and Lecture theatres
    –   Sports halls (with high impact resistance for use in sports areas)
    –   Music studios and rehearsal spaces

The soft materials used in the panel are designed to absorb sound energy that hits them and stop this energy from continuing to bounce around the room. It does this by converting the sound energy in to heat.

Because it absorbs this energy the room acoustics become clearer and quieter and that is because less of the sound energy is remaining in the space and bouncing around it. As a general rule of thumb, we look to cover around 25% – 30% of the wall/ceiling area to achieve a good high level of sound absorption.

Acoustic Panels

Acoustic panels are sound absorbing panels placed on walls or ceilings to control and reduce noise, eliminate slap echo, and control comb filtering in a room. The objective is to enhance the properties of sound by improving sound quality with sound-ab- sorbing panels. Often used to treat recording studio acoustics, church acoustics, home theater acoustics, restaurant acoustics, and listening rooms, the purpose of acoustic panels is to reduce, but not entirely eliminate, resonance within the room. 

Acoustic panels differ from Bass Traps in that they deal more with the mid and high frequencies in a room. Sound absorption is different than soundproofing, which is typically used to keep sound from escaping a room.

Quailty Materials

Crossbanded layers and balanced construction mean that hardwood plywood won’t shrink, swell or warp as much as lumber. To finish our acoustic panels and bass traps, we offer an array of fine fabrics – from our standard 9 options to the full line of Camira Series acoustic fabrics. 

Our team of professional builders handcraft each acoustic panel, bass trap, and diffusor to exacting standards ensuring the most attractive, effective, and dependable products. The difference is our customers are secure in know- ing they receive the very best made-to-order acoustic treatments available.
