Acoustic Panels for Different Spaces
Compare and find the right solution for your office, school, commercial space or home.
Acoustic panels help reduce echo and improve comfort in offices, schools, commercial spaces and homes. From simple wall-based upgrades to more design-led ceiling and feature solutions, they can support both acoustic performance and the overall experience of the space.
What Are Acoustic Panels?
Acoustic panels are sound-absorbing panels designed to reduce echo and soften excess noise within a room. Commonly made from polyester fibre and installed directly on walls and ceilings, they improve speech clarity and comfort.
Unlike full soundproofing, acoustic panels are designed to improve the sound inside a room rather than block outside noise entirely.
COMPARE ACOUSTIC PANEL OPTIONS
Not all acoustic panel solutions serve the same purpose. Some are better suited to quick wall upgrades, while others are designed for larger open areas or more design-led interiors. The overview below compares the main options.
Acoustic Wall Panels
A versatile solution for reducing echo and improving speech clarity across a wide range of spaces. Wall panels are ideal when you want targeted sound absorption, strong design flexibility, and a finish that can suit everything from offices and classrooms to hospitality and commercial interiors.
Peel n Stick Tiles
A practical option for quick acoustic upgrades where easy installation is a priority. Peel n Stick tiles are well suited to smaller projects, retrofits, classrooms, offices and other spaces where you want to improve acoustics without a more involved fitout process.
Acoustic Ceiling
Designed for larger and more open spaces where wall coverage alone may not be enough. Acoustic ceiling solutions help absorb sound from above, making them a strong choice for open plan offices, classrooms, hospitality venues and commercial interiors with high ceilings or limited wall space.
Acoustic Lighting
A design-led solution that combines sound absorption with functional lighting. Acoustic lighting is ideal for projects that need to improve acoustics while also creating a more refined visual finish in meeting rooms, offices, education spaces and other modern interiors.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT SOLUTION
Acoustic treatment works best when it's adapted to the way a space is used. In some environments, the focus is on making conversations clearer and reducing distraction. In others, it's about softening overall noise while still delivering the right visual finish.
For schools and education spaces
Classrooms and learning environments often need acoustic treatment that supports speech clarity while also standing up to everyday use. Depending on the layout, a mix of wall panels, peel and stick options or ceiling treatment may be the best fit.
For offices and meeting rooms
Offices, boardrooms and meeting rooms often need acoustic treatment that helps reduce distraction, improve speech clarity and create a more comfortable working environment. Depending on the layout, a mix of wall panels and ceiling solutions may be the best fit.
For hospitality and retail spaces
In hospitality and retail environments, acoustic treatment often needs to do more than reduce noise. It also needs to work with the overall look and feel of the space. Depending on the layout and design goals, wall panels, ceiling solutions or acoustic lighting may be the best fit.
For healthcare spaces
Healthcare environments often need acoustic treatment that supports speech privacy, comfort and a calmer overall atmosphere. Depending on the space, wall panels, ceiling solutions or other acoustic treatments may be the best fit.
For community halls and shared spaces
Community halls and shared spaces often need acoustic treatment that helps reduce echo, improve speech clarity and make the space more comfortable for a wide range of activities. Depending on the size and layout, wall panels, ceiling solutions or a combination of both may be the best fit.
DIY OR PROFESSIONAL INSTALL?
Some acoustic panel solutions are suited to straightforward upgrades, while others are better handled as part of a broader commercial fitout. The right path depends on the size of the space, the products being used, and how much support you need with planning, supply and installation.
DIY Install
If you are working on a smaller upgrade or want a simpler wall-based solution, DIY-friendly acoustic products can be a practical starting point. This is often the best fit for home offices, smaller rooms and straightforward retrofit projects.
Professional Install
For larger spaces or more complex projects, a supply and install approach can help ensure the right products, coverage and finish are selected for the space. This is often the best fit for offices, schools, hospitality, healthcare and other commercial environments.

FAQs
Acoustic panels are specially designed materials that absorb sound waves, reducing noise and echo within a space. They’re typically mounted on walls or ceilings to improve sound clarity and control noise without blocking sound completely.
No, acoustic panels are used to absorb sound within a room, improving sound quality and reducing echo. Soundproofing, on the other hand, blocks sound from entering or leaving a space. Acoustic panels are ideal for enhancing sound within a room rather than preventing sound transmission.
For optimal performance, place panels on walls near noise sources, reflective surfaces, or high-activity areas. Ceiling panels are also effective for larger spaces to absorb sound from above.
Yes, acoustic panels are versatile and can be used in a wide variety of spaces, from offices and classrooms to home studios, conference rooms, and auditoriums. They’re suitable for any environment that would benefit from improved sound control.
The number of panels depends on the size of your space and the level of sound control you’re aiming for. Generally, larger or noisier rooms require more panels. Our team can help you determine the ideal setup for your needs.
Yes, most acoustic panels are designed for easy wall or ceiling installation. They typically come with mounting hardware and can be easily positioned to achieve the best sound absorption. Installation usually doesn’t require special tools.
Absolutely. Acoustic panels work well in home offices, home theatres, entertainment rooms, or any space where you want to reduce noise and improve sound quality. They’re a popular choice for home studios and entertainment spaces.
Yes, acoustic panels are available in a wide range of colours, textures, and styles to fit various decor needs. They can be customised to match or complement the aesthetics of any space.
All of our acoustic panels are made from sustainable or recycled materials, making them an eco-friendly choice. Check for specific product details on materials to find panels that align with environmental goals.
Acoustic panels typically require minimal maintenance. Most can be dusted or gently vacuumed to keep them clean. For fabric-covered panels, always follow manufacturer instructions to avoid damaging the material.
