Frequently Asked Questions
How many acoustic panels do I need for my room?
For general noise reduction, cover 15-20% of your wall space. For recording studios, podcast rooms, or spaces with severe echo, cover 30-45%. A typical 10x12 room needs 6-8 panels (24"x48" size) for effective treatment. Use our free room calculator or contact us for a custom recommendation.
What is the difference between 1" and 2" acoustic panels?
1" panels (NRC .75) are ideal for controlling mid and high frequency sounds like voices, music reflections, and general room echo. 2" panels (NRC 1.0) absorb a broader frequency range including some low-mid frequencies. For voice-focused applications like offices, classrooms, and podcasting, 1" panels deliver excellent results at a lower cost. For music studios and home theaters, consider our 2" panels.
Do acoustic panels soundproof a room?
Acoustic panels improve sound quality INSIDE a room by absorbing echo and reverb. They do not block sound from entering or leaving a room (that requires soundproofing materials like mass-loaded vinyl). If you hear excessive echo, reverb, or poor speech clarity, acoustic panels are the solution.
How do I install acoustic sound panels?
Every panel includes our Z-clip mounting system (similar to a French cleat). Screw one half to the wall, the other is pre-attached to the panel. Hang in under 5 minutes per panel. No special tools needed beyond a drill and level. Works on drywall, concrete, and wood surfaces.
What fabric material should I choose?
Microsuede: Soft, premium look. Best for home theaters and living spaces. Burlap: Natural texture, budget-friendly. Great for studios and offices. Guilford of Maine: Commercial-grade, 100+ colors, Class A fire rated. Required for commercial installations, schools, and churches.
Are these panels safe for commercial use?
Yes. Our Guilford of Maine fabric options are Class A fire rated and meet building code requirements for commercial spaces, schools, hospitals, and government buildings.
What is NRC rating and why does it matter?
NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) measures how much sound a material absorbs on a scale of 0 to 1. Our 1" panels rate NRC .75 (absorb 75% of sound). Higher is better. Bare drywall is NRC .05. Our 2" panels achieve NRC 1.0 (perfect absorption).
Do you offer custom sizes?
Yes! Standard sizes are 24"x24", 24"x36", and 24"x48". For custom dimensions, oversized panels (up to 48"x96"), or bulk orders, contact us directly for a quote.
