Acoustic Panels in the Office: Wall, Ceiling, or Partition?

Acoustic panels are used to absorb sound in a room and reduce reverberation. They are particularly suitable for open-plan offices, meeting rooms, reception areas, waiting rooms, and training rooms.

Wall Panels

Wall panels are useful when there are free wall surfaces and the room sounds echoey. They can be used functionally and aesthetically.

Ceiling Baffles

Ceiling baffles are suitable for larger rooms or areas with few free walls. They can help reduce sound in the room without taking up floor space.

Acoustic Partitions

Partitions and acoustic columns are flexible. They can zone workplaces, define pathways, or create temporary quiet areas.
