Tips for Installing Acoustic Ceiling Panels #1
Acoustic Panels are effective at controlling reverberation, or reflected sound, in interior spaces.
Acoustic Ceiling Panels can be fully integrated into the interior décor of any space at the design stage. Otherwise they can be retrofitted to existing walls or ceilings at any stage – to ‘fit in’ with colour schemes, furniture, etc. The area of acoustic panels required to achieve a satisfactory reduction in background noise levels will vary according to the activities in the space. In most cases, standard rectangular 25mm thick acoustic panels are used. These are fixed directly to available wall or ceiling space. This will be sufficient to achieve a noticeable difference in speech quality and comfort levels for building occupants. However, there are also many projects where lighting and fittings, door and window openings, bulkheads, and similar complicating factors may call for innovative fixing variations.
