Antibacterial Acoustic Panels for Hospitals
In healthcare settings, noise control and hygiene are paramount. Our antibacterial acoustic panels help reduce stress for patients and staff while meeting strict infection‑control standards.
Benefits for Hospitals
- Antimicrobial fabrics: Panels are wrapped in healthcare‑grade fabrics treated to resist bacteria and mildew.
- Improved patient comfort: Lower noise levels promote healing and restful sleep in patient rooms and waiting areas.
- Easy maintenance: Surfaces are wipeable with hospital‑approved cleaners.
- Custom sizes and prints: Add calming artwork or branding to brighten sterile environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our hospital-grade panels use antibacterial, antimicrobial fabric tested to ASTM E2149 standards. They are Class A fire-rated, formaldehyde-free, and meet LEED and CHPS material requirements. The fabric is wipeable with approved hospital disinfectants without degrading acoustic performance.
Yes. Acoustic panels reduce speech intelligibility in adjacent areas by absorbing sound reflections. In private exam rooms, corridors, and waiting areas, panels help prevent inadvertent patient information disclosure - a key consideration for HIPAA Speech Privacy compliance.
For patient rooms and exam areas, target NRC 0.80 or higher. Our standard panels achieve NRC 1.0 - the maximum possible - providing maximum speech privacy and noise reduction. For ICUs and critical care, consult your acoustic engineer for site-specific recommendations.
Yes. Burch Fabrics Prime Time Terrapin and FR701 fabrics used in our hospital panels are tested for cleanability with hospital-grade disinfectants including bleach solutions. The fabric can be wiped clean without delaminating or losing acoustic performance.
The FGI Guidelines for Design and Construction of Hospitals require specific noise criteria and reverberation limits in patient care areas. Our Class A fire-rated panels meet all materials standards. Work with your acoustic consultant to ensure your overall design meets FGI and ANSI S12.60 requirements.
Z-clip mounted panels can be installed at approximately 15–20 panels per day by a two-person crew. A typical patient floor (40–60 panels) takes 2–3 days. Installation can often be done during off-hours to minimize disruption to patient care.
