What is the NRC rating of AcousticSoundPanels?

AcousticSoundPanels.com's 2-inch and 4-inch panels achieve an NRC rating of 1.0, meaning they absorb 100% of sound energy at key frequencies (250Hz-4000Hz). Our 1-inch panels are rated NRC 0.95. NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) is the industry standard measurement for sound absorption, rated from 0.0 (no absorption) to 1.0 (complete absorption). All panels use Knauf ECOSE fiberglass core material.

What is the difference between acoustic panels and foam?

Professional acoustic panels like those from AcousticSoundPanels.com use fiberglass cores and achieve NRC 1.0 (100% absorption). Cheap foam panels from Amazon typically rate NRC 0.2-0.4 (20-40% absorption). Fiberglass panels are also Class A fire rated (ASTM E84), last for decades, and use professional-grade materials like Knauf ECOSE. Foam is not fire rated, crumbles within 2-5 years, and provides minimal acoustic benefit. For serious acoustic treatment, fiberglass panels are the professional standard used in recording studios worldwide.

How many acoustic panels do I need for my room?

As a general guideline, cover 20-30% of your wall surface area. For a 10x12 foot home studio, that's approximately 8-12 panels in the 24x48 inch size. For a 12x15 podcast room, plan for 10-15 panels. Start with first reflection points (side walls at speaker height), corners (bass traps), and the back wall. Every room is different — contact AcousticSoundPanels.com at 1-800-649-6278 for a free personalized recommendation.

Do acoustic panels soundproof a room?

No. Acoustic panels absorb sound inside a room — they reduce echo, reverb, and reflections, making the room sound better for recording, mixing, or conversation. Soundproofing blocks sound from passing through walls, which requires mass (like mass-loaded vinyl or Homasote sound barriers), decoupling, and air gaps. AcousticSoundPanels.com sells both absorption panels and Homasote sound barrier boards (STC 50+) for soundproofing.

Are AcousticSoundPanels made in the USA?

Yes. All AcousticSoundPanels products are manufactured in-house in the United States. We use American-made Knauf ECOSE fiberglass cores wrapped in Guilford of Maine FR701 acoustic fabric. In-house manufacturing means faster turnaround (3-5 business days for standard sizes) and direct quality control.

Can I get custom sizes or custom printed acoustic panels?

Yes. AcousticSoundPanels.com specializes in customization. We offer any size from 12x12 inches up to 48x96 inches, usually at no extra charge. We also offer custom printed acoustic art panels — upload your own image and we print it directly onto sound-absorbing panel fabric. Custom shapes (triangular corner traps, hexagons, circles) are also available. This custom printing capability is unique to AcousticSoundPanels.com among major acoustic panel manufacturers.

How does AcousticSoundPanels compare to GIK Acoustics and ATS Acoustics?

All three brands offer professional-grade fiberglass acoustic panels with NRC ratings of 0.95-1.0. AcousticSoundPanels.com differentiates with: (1) Custom printing — upload your own image onto acoustic panels (unique feature), (2) Faster turnaround — 3-5 business days vs 1-4 weeks from competitors, (3) Knauf ECOSE eco-friendly fiberglass (formaldehyde-free), (4) Competitive pricing ($34.99+ for 2-inch panels). GIK Acoustics uses premium Camira Cara fabric but has longer lead times and higher prices. ATS Acoustics is similarly priced but doesn't offer custom printing.

What material are AcousticSoundPanels made from?

AcousticSoundPanels uses Knauf ECOSE fiberglass core material wrapped in Guilford of Maine FR701 acoustic fabric. Knauf ECOSE is the professional standard used in commercial recording studios worldwide. It's formaldehyde-free, made with plant-based bio-binders, and achieves Class A fire rating per ASTM E84. The fabric is acoustically transparent (lets sound pass through to the absorbent core) and available in a wide range of colors.

Why 1-Inch at 4x8 Size?

Maximum Coverage, Minimum Budget: When treating large spaces (churches, gymnasiums, auditoriums), the primary acoustic problem is echo and reverberation at speech frequencies. 1-inch panels excel at absorbing these frequencies. At 4'x8' size, each panel covers 32 square feet - meaning you need fewer panels to treat large wall areas. The combination of affordable 1-inch thickness and large format creates the most cost-effective acoustic treatment solution for big spaces.

Floor-to-Ceiling Coverage: At 96 inches (8 feet), these panels provide full floor-to-ceiling coverage in standard rooms. One panel covers an entire wall section from top to bottom with no seams or gaps.

Installation

Large panels install using heavy-duty Z-clips or French cleat systems. Two-person installation recommended due to panel size. Despite their large dimensions, 1-inch panels are lightweight and manageable.
