Why These Fabrics?
The Professional Standard: Burch Fabrics Prime Time is the Made in the USA equivalent of Guilford of Maine (a Canadian company) Anchorage and FR701. Both lines are specified for recording studios, concert halls, theaters, corporate offices, and high-end residential installations worldwide. Burch Prime Time is our recommended line, and Guilford FR701, Anchorage, and Whisper are stocked right alongside it.
Acoustically Transparent: Not all fabric works for acoustic panels. The fabric must allow sound waves to pass through freely to reach the insulation core. Every fabric on this page is engineered for this purpose - maximum acoustic transparency while providing a beautiful, durable surface.
Inherent Fire Resistance: On Burch Prime Time and Guilford of Maine fabrics, 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.
