Why Guilford of Maine FR701?
The Professional Standard: Guilford of Maine FR701 is the most specified acoustic fabric in commercial architecture. It's used in recording studios, concert halls, theaters, corporate offices, and high-end residential installations worldwide. When acoustic consultants specify fabric, they specify Guilford of Maine.
Acoustically Transparent: Not all fabric works for acoustic panels. The fabric must allow sound waves to pass through freely to reach the insulation core. Guilford of Maine fabric is specifically engineered for this purpose - maximum acoustic transparency while providing a beautiful, durable surface.
Inherent Fire Resistance: The fire resistance is built into the fiber itself - not a chemical spray coating that degrades over time. This means the fire rating lasts the life of the fabric, meeting building codes permanently.
How Much Fabric Do You Need?
For wrapping acoustic panels, you'll need enough fabric to wrap around the front face plus overlap for stapling on the back. Typical calculation: panel width + (2 x panel depth) + 4 inches overlap per side. We're happy to help you calculate the exact yardage needed - just contact us with your panel dimensions and quantities.
