Acoustic Panels for Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities
In healthcare settings, noise control matters for patient comfort and staff focus. Our acoustic panels reduce noise and reverberation in waiting rooms, exam rooms, and patient areas, with a formaldehyde-free core and cleanable fabric surfaces built for everyday facility maintenance.
Benefits for Hospitals
- Cleanable fabric surfaces: Panels are wrapped in fabric that wipes down easily as part of routine facility maintenance.
- Improved patient comfort: Lower noise levels promote healing and restful sleep in patient rooms and waiting areas.
- Easy maintenance: Fabric surfaces wipe clean with standard cleaners as part of routine care.
- Custom sizes and prints: Add calming artwork or branding to brighten sterile environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our panels use a formaldehyde-free fiberglass core. Panels faced in Burch Fabrics Prime Time are Class A fire rated (ASTM E-84). Burch Fabrics Prime Time and Guilford of Maine faces are cleanable with a mild cleaner as part of routine maintenance.
Acoustic panels absorb sound reflections and reduce reverberation within a room, which makes conversations easier to hear clearly and lowers the ambient noise level for patients and staff. Panels absorb sound; they do not block sound transmission between rooms. For room-to-room sound isolation, see our Homasote DesignWall 440 sound barrier panels (STC 50).
For patient rooms and exam areas, look for panels with an NRC of 0.80 or higher for solid sound absorption. Our 1" panels are tested at NRC 0.80, and our 2" panels achieve NRC 1.0 - full-range sound absorption for maximum noise and reverberation control. For ICUs and critical care, consult your acoustic engineer for site-specific recommendations.
Yes. Our Burch Fabrics Prime Time and Guilford of Maine fabric options are cleanable - wipe down with a mild cleaner as part of routine maintenance. Always spot-test any cleaning solution in an inconspicuous area first.
The FGI Guidelines for Design and Construction of Hospitals require specific noise criteria and reverberation limits in patient care areas. Panels faced in Burch Fabrics Prime Time carry a Class A fire rating (ASTM E-84). Microsuede and Burlap faces are not fire rated. Work with your acoustic consultant to ensure your overall design meets FGI requirements.
Our panels mount with the included Z-clip hardware - no specialized tools required. A facility's own maintenance team or contractor can typically hang 15–20 panels per day, so a typical patient floor (40–60 panels) can be completed in 2–3 days. Many facilities schedule this during off-hours to minimize disruption to patient care.
