Choosing a color for your acoustic panels can sometimes be the hardest thing. Many times a committee has to go through numerous fabric sample orders in order to come up with one that works. What isn’t always known is that you can wrap your sound absorbing panels in a digital image. While the cost is more, your noise control panels can show a corporate log or favorite landscape image. All you need to do is provide a high resolution/high dpi image and we’ll size it up to cover your acoustic panels complete with proofs for your approval.

Let us know if we can provide you with a digital print acoustic panels and we’ll work with you to make it happen!

And oh yeah, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

One of the best ways to explain how an acoustic panel works in noise absorption is to think of a sponge and a puddle. If you have a puddle (noise) and you position a sponge (absorber) on the edge, the entire puddle will shrink, not just the area near the absorber. This is especially applicable when thinking about a square(ish) room with no designated speaker area. If you do have a specific noise source and receiver, there are other considerations that must be taken into account, but in most square room applications, equal, general distribution of the panels is sufficient.

One of the most frustrating problems with noise control in conference rooms is finding a balance between the technology of video conference and teleconference technologies and the fact that you may be in a big square room with limited usable wall space for sound control. We do on-site inspection to get the whole acoustic frame of mind and find out what can be done using various different products at varying price ranges. Whether it’s fabric wrapped acoustic panels, digitally printed acoustic panels, diffusers, ceiling tiles or a myriad other solution, please get in touch to find out what we can do for you!

In many hi-ceiling situations, your best bet to control ambient noise is ceiling mounted acoustic baffles. Gymnasium and auditorium noises can be controlled using vinyl or sailcloth faced panels or normal fabric wrapped panels can be used offering a wide variety of colors and durability options. Mounting can be accomplished via d-ring or grommets and acoustic performance is excellent. Let us know if we can provide you with more information.

In searching for “sound proofing” solutions, one can get overly optimistic about the ability of materials to block sound or keep all noise out. While a material itself may stop noises from penetrating, the application/installation of those materials is what can make the final difference. A good material is mass loaded vinyl which, on its own, will stop many sounds from going through it, but only when used the proper way. Coming in both one pound and two pound densities, as well as outdoor variants, mass loaded vinyl can be an integral part of your noise reduction solutions.
