Panels & Tiles

In the world of acoustic design, panels and tiles are go-to solutions for reducing noise and improving sound quality in commercial and collaborative environments. Whether used on walls or ceilings, these treatments work by absorbing sound energy and preventing unwanted echo and reverberation.

While the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, there are practical distinctions. Panels generally refer to larger-format products—typically 4′ x 8′ or bigger—while tiles are smaller and often modular, commonly 2′ x 2′ or less. Regardless of the size or layout, both options serve the same purpose: helping your space look better, sound better, and feel more intentional.

How Acoustic Panels and Tiles Improve Sound

In a typical space filled with hard surfaces—think tiled floors, drywall, glass partitions, or exposed ceilings—sound bounces freely, creating echo, harshness, and a lack of clarity. Without soft materials to absorb and dissipate this energy, the noise lingers, affecting comfort and focus.

Acoustic felt wall panels interrupt this cycle by trapping sound waves and converting them into low-level vibrations within the material. By strategically placing these panels on walls or ceilings, you reduce reverberation and create a more balanced, comfortable acoustic environment—perfect for conference rooms, open offices, lobbies, and more.

And when it comes to acoustics, more surface area and greater thickness usually mean better performance. Whether you install a few smaller tiles or cover an entire wall with full-sized panels, each addition improves your room’s acoustic footprint.

Why Choose Felt for Acoustic Wall Panels?

While foams and fabrics offer basic noise control, acoustic felt stands out for its superior performance and versatility. Crafted from either 100% natural wool or recycled PET fibers, acoustic felt offers exceptional sound absorption while providing a refined visual texture.

Its dense, fibrous structure allows sound to enter but makes it difficult for that energy to escape—meaning more sound is absorbed and less is reflected back into the room. The result is a quieter, more focused space, ideal for everything from high-traffic offices to creative studios and hospitality venues.

Acoustic felt panels also come in an expansive range of colors, shapes, and patterns, giving designers the freedom to make bold visual statements while improving the auditory experience of a space.

Acoustics in the Modern Office

Today’s workspaces are typically built with materials that prioritize aesthetics and durability—but often at the expense of acoustics. Drywall, hard flooring, and tile ceilings can amplify noise and reduce comfort in open-plan environments.

Felt acoustic wall panels offer a flexible and attractive solution. Whether you’re working with a clean slate or retrofitting an existing space, these panels can be added without major renovations. And if large-format panels aren’t an option, smaller modular tiles or hanging acoustic dividers can still make a significant impact—visually and acoustically.

Use them to define zones, reduce background noise, and bring your space into alignment with both your functional needs and design goals.
