Acoustic Wall Panels

Acoustic wall panels are specialized sound-absorbing materials designed to control noise and enhance the acoustic quality of indoor spaces. Unlike hard surfaces that reflect sound waves and create echoes, these panels feature porous structures that absorb sound energy and convert it into heat through friction.  

This process dramatically reduces reverberation, eliminates that "hollow" sound common in modern spaces, and creates acoustically balanced environments where conversations flow naturally and concentration improves. Beyond their functional benefits, acoustic wall panels offer a modern, sophisticated aesthetic with luxurious textures and customizable designs that instantly upgrade any interior while solving acoustic challenges.

Acoustic wall panels create measurable improvements in workplace productivity and occupant well-being by addressing the hidden costs of poor acoustics. By reducing distracting background noise and eliminating harsh reverberation, these panels help employees concentrate better and experience less noise fatigue throughout the day. Improved speech intelligibility means clearer communication in meetings and collaborative spaces, leading to better decision-making and stronger team dynamics.  

The reduction in acoustic stress contributes to lower employee absenteeism, decreased headaches, and can even help prevent burnout by creating more comfortable work environments. This translates to quantifiable improvements in occupant satisfaction, reduced noise complaints, and enhanced space utilization that directly impacts organizational performance.

Acoustic wall panels deliver exceptional performance across different frequency ranges, with specific materials targeting particular acoustic challenges. High-quality panels achieve Noise Reduction Coefficients (NRC) ranging from 0.65 to 1.0, meaning they can absorb 65% to 100% of sound energy. PET felt panels excel at managing mid-to-high frequencies (prominent in speech and music) with NRC values of 0.7-0.88, while high-density rock wool effectively absorbs low-frequency sounds like traffic rumble and HVAC noise. Wood wool panels specifically target the 500-4000Hz range where voice clarity matters most, making them ideal for conference rooms and educational spaces. Cotton-based panels provide superior absorption across all frequency ranges, and mycelium panels offer excellent performance in the 250-1000Hz range, perfect for absorbing speech noise.

Absolutely. Our acoustic wall panels are designed with creative freedom in mind. Whether you're looking for bold visual statements or subtle textures, we offer a wide range of materials, from PET felt in rich color palettes to natural options like wood wool, mycelium, cotton, and rock wool.  

Panels can be tailored with custom artwork, brand elements, geometric patterns, or finishes that blend seamlessly with your interior design. With Akoesta, you never have to choose between great design and high acoustic performance, we make sure you get both.

Today's acoustic wall panels lead the way in sustainable building materials, proving that environmental responsibility and superior performance go hand in hand.  

PET felt panels transform recycled plastic bottles into high-performance acoustic solutions, remaining 100% recyclable at end-of-life while achieving excellent sound absorption.  

Innovative mycelium panels (the root structure of fungi), grown from agricultural waste using low-energy bio-manufacturing, are completely biodegradable and plastic-free while delivering impressive acoustic performance.  

Cotton-based panels utilize minimum 80% recycled textile content, supporting circular economy principles while providing superior sound absorption across all frequencies.  

Wood wool panels from certified sustainable forestry offer renewable resource utilization with natural humidity regulation properties.  

All these materials contribute to healthier indoor air quality through low VOC emissions and support LEED and WELL certification goals, allowing project managers to meet sustainability targets while creating acoustically optimized environments.

Acoustic wall panel installation is designed for minimal disruption to ongoing operations, with most panels easily mounted using adhesives or screws depending on your long-term needs. Strategic placement is key... panels work best at primary reflection points such as walls opposite sound sources, corners, and areas where echo occurs.  

Optimal acoustic performance typically requires coverage of 25-50% of wall and ceiling surfaces, though our acoustic consultants can determine the exact configuration for your specific space through measurements and simulations.  

Maintenance requirements are remarkably low: regular dusting with a soft cloth or vacuum cleaner keeps panels performing optimally, while occasional spot cleaning with a slightly damp cloth addresses any stains. Durable materials like PET felt resist humidity and wear, while natural materials like wood wool maintain their performance for decades without degradation, making them cost-effective long-term investments for facility managers.

Our approach begins with expert consultation where our acousticians work with your team to understand both aesthetic goals and functional requirements, providing technical insights without adding administrative complexity. We offer comprehensive material selection from our curated range of premium acoustic solutions, ensuring you have access to the right performance characteristics and design options for your specific needs.  

Our technical support includes on-site acoustic measurements, helping you visualize improvements and providing quantifiable data to justify investments to clients or stakeholders. We communicate in clear, practical terms focused on solving specific challenges like noise reduction and compliance requirements. We handle installation through our qualified fitting teams, always ensuring minimal disruption to your operations while delivering optimal acoustic results.

It's important to understand that acoustic wall panels excel at improving sound quality within your space by absorbing internal reflections and reducing reverberation, rather than blocking external noise transmission. While panels can help with some higher-frequency external sounds, significant noise issues from traffic, construction, or noisy neighbors typically require dedicated sound insulation or comprehensive soundproofing measures within wall assemblies.  

However, acoustic wall panels provide substantial value by eliminating the amplification effect that hard surfaces create, when external noise does enter your space, panels prevent it from bouncing around and creating additional echo and reverberation. For comprehensive noise control solutions that address both internal acoustics and external sound blocking, our acoustic consultants can recommend integrated approaches that combine sound-absorbing panels with appropriate insulation strategies for optimal results.

Fire safety is paramount in commercial and public spaces, and quality acoustic wall panels are designed with comprehensive fire-resistant properties and rigorous testing compliance. Many premium panels achieve Class A or Euroclass A1 ratings, representing the highest levels of non-combustibility with minimal smoke production. Materials like high-density rock wool are naturally non-combustible, made from natural stone, and don't create toxic gases in fire situations. PET felt panels offer inherent fire-resistant properties without chemical treatments, while mycelium and wood wool materials achieve Class B-s2-d0 and Class A ratings respectively through natural fire-retardant characteristics. Cotton-based panels undergo specialized fire-retardant treatments to achieve Class A flame-resistant ratings. These certifications ensure compliance with stringent building codes and provide project managers with documented safety credentials that meet regulatory requirements while maintaining healthy indoor air quality without harmful chemical treatments.
