Acoustic Panels: by Saumya Verma and Sanya Shandilya

The document discusses different types of acoustic panels that can be used to absorb sound and reduce noise. There are various styles of acoustic panels including fabric-wrapped panels, perforated wood panels, and art acoustic panels. Acoustic panels work by converting sound energy into heat energy as sound waves hit the panels. They are commonly used in places like auditoriums, offices, schools, and hotels to improve sound quality and limit noise transmission between rooms. The document provides details on properties, sizes, materials, installation and different types of acoustic panels.

ACOUSTIC PANELS

By Saumya Verma and Sanya Shandilya


Introduction
Acoustic panels provide the perfect sound absorption
materials for deadening and dampening sound in
restaurants, offices and many more spaces. There are a
number of sound insulating panel styles to choose from
including standard fabric-wrapped panels, perforated
wood and water resistant acoustic panels.
Properties
Use
Ceiling and wall paneling

Applications
Schools & educational buildings, cultural institutions, kindergartens & day care centers, office
buildings & shops, private homes & housing, sport facilities, hotels & restaurants, health & care
institutions

Characteristics
Cement-bonded wood wool panels, sound absorbing, allergy friendly and healthy indoor climate,
documented sustainability, effective fire protection, natural strength, flexible design solutions ,
available both as single and two-layer panel

Sizes
600x600 mm, 600x1200 mm, 600x2000 mm, 600x2400 mm

Price
Varies
Working
Composed of compressed mineral wool or foam, sound
absorbing acoustic panels absorb sound waves to reduce
general noise, clarify speech and limit reverberation in walls
within enclosed areas.

When sound waves travel through the air and strike wall- or
ceiling-mounted noise reducing panels, fiberglass fibres or foam
pores vibrate, increasing friction among the pores or fibres.
These vibrations quickly reach a point where enough friction is
created for the conversion of sound energy to kinetic (heat)
energy, which is simply the energy of an object in motion. Since
kinetic energy can’t be contained, it dissipates quickly, leaving
no sound waves and, naturally, no sound.

Soundproofing panels block noise from entering or exiting a


room.
Installation
Acoustic panels are installed directly on
wooden battens on ceilings and walls, or in
profile systems as suspended ceilings. It is
important that the acoustic panels are
allowed to acclimatise prior to
installation. The two-layer acoustic panels,
are ideal for the refurbishment of existing
ceilings and for suspended and floating
ceilings. The two-layer panels save
construction time, since the acoustic ceiling
and the backing layer can be installed in
one and the same workflow.

Structure
Uses
 Auditoriums: With soundproofing panels, you
can improve sound clarity in an auditorium by
reducing background noise due to echoes, improving
the audience’s experience.
 
 Condos: Condo soundproofing makes it simple to
increase your privacy by minimizing the transmission
of noise from one unit to another. In addition,
soundproof panels may help you boost the value of
your condo by offering a more private home than
similar properties.
 
 Dance Studios: In many instances, dance studios will
use soundproof panels to prevent sound from
leaking into adjacent rooms, reduce echoing and
improve music sound quality.
Uses
 Hotels: For hotels, it is paramount to provide
guests with the best experience possible.
Thanks to acoustic panel options, hotels can
minimize the risk of noise complaints and
boost their chances of providing a calm,
restful stay to guests.
 
 Library: Library soundproofing represents a
terrific option to decrease noise
distractions by containing excess noise.
Case Study
■ Sarakasi Theatre, Nairobi, Kenya

In the theatre, 6 mm multiplex panels on a 25 mm cavity filled


with low-density foam were used as low frequency, sound
absorption material. The absorption of these types of materials
relies on the resonance of the panel at a typical frequency. The
absorption coefficients of the 400 m² wooden panels had to be
estimated for the ODEON prediction model. The resonance
frequency of the wooden panels seemed to lie in the 250 Hz
octave band (theoretically 200 Hz).
Types of Acoustic Panels
Art acoustic panels ensure you can soundproof a room without sacrificing the
personal style. They can even be customized as needed. Ultimately, art acoustic
panels represent a wonderful option in many spaces, such as:
 
 
 Auditoriums

 Bars and restaurants

 Conference rooms

 Gymnasiums

 Home and office spaces

 Theatres
Types of Acoustic Panels
Fabric-wrapped panels deliver unprecedented acoustical performance.
They come in many fabric wrap finishes, sizes and configurations to
provide exceptional design potential.

With fabric-wrapped panels, one can reap the benefits of a professional-


grade acoustic product. The panels can be mounted to a wall or ceiling
with ease, ensuring one won’t have to worry about a time-consuming
installation process. 
Types of Acoustic Panels
Perforated acoustic wood panels reduce noise levels projected
by speakers and musicians, and decrease sound
reverberations within a building. The panels include dents to
help absorb and centralize soundwaves and can be hung from
ceilings to reduce noise levels and echoing.
Furthermore, perforated acoustic wood panels offer numerous
benefits, including:

 Superior Sound Absorption: The panels quiet a space by


absorbing and diffusing sound.
 Additional Privacy: The panels enable you to add privacy
and intimacy to a space.
 Improved Sound Quality: The panels can help you boost
listening and recording quality, along with speech
intelligibility.

Art Acoustic Panels


Material used
1. Fabric
Typically, the best sound-absorption panels are fabric-wrapped fiberglass
acoustic panels. These panels offer outstanding noise control for a wide range of
applications.

2. Foam
Acoustic foam prevents soundwaves from reflecting off ceilings, walls and other
hard surfaces. The foam absorbs soundwaves to deliver a smooth, quiet and
calm environment.

3. Perforated Wood
Perforated wood acoustic panels remain a top choice for those who prioritize
sustainability. They can be customized with your project pattern and ceiling- or
wall-mounted or suspending from ceilings as a baffle or cloud.
