Acoustic Ceiling Panels

In acoustic panels, thickness plays an important role in their sound-absorbing properties, but it is not the best solution by default. Thicker panels are indeed better at absorbing lower-frequency sounds, which are usually more difficult to control. In contrast, higher frequency sounds, such as a human voice or the ringing of glass, fall well within the absorption range of thinner panels. This difference shows how important it is to adjust panel thickness to the specific acoustic challenges in your space. We'll guide you in selecting the right acoustic panels for your needs so that your space achieves the best possible sound quality. With a detailed insight into how different panels perform across the sound spectrum, we'd love to help you create the ideal acoustic environment.

Ceiling clouds hang horizontally against the ceiling and are very effective at absorbing sound from multiple directions. This is due to their strategic positioning at different heights. This creates air pockets that capture sound waves, making them particularly effective in rooms with high ceilings. This is because they prevent sound from moving further. Acoustic baffles are other solutions that hang from the ceiling and are distinguished by their vertical suspension. This orientation maximizes their surface area (on two sides), significantly improving speech intelligibility by reducing reverb. The so-called ceiling tiles fit into an overarching grid system (suspended ceiling) and offer a simple solution for sound absorption. They are perfect for low ceilings. Their porous composition effectively reduces noise levels and reverberation, contributing to an audibly more comfortable environment that is conducive to clearer communication.

Determining the right number of acoustic panels for your space involves a number of important factors: the size of the room, the composition and interior of the space, the purpose of the space, the dimensions of the panels, and your specific acoustic goals. Although there is no one-size-fits-all solution, a generally recommended guideline is to provide acoustic panels at least 30% of the hard surfaces in your space to achieve a noticeable improvement in sound quality. The composition and thickness of the acoustic panels also play a crucial role in their effectiveness. Overall, covering more wall or ceiling area with acoustic panels leads to better acoustic results. This means that larger or more sound-reflecting spaces may require more coverage to optimize sound absorption and effectively reduce echoes. It is also important to consider the specific activities that take place in the room when determining the amount of acoustic materials needed.

Customization is exactly what we are good at. Depending on the material, we can produce panels in any size up to 12000 x 5000 mm (as long as they are rectangular or square shapes, consult our specialists for other shapes). We also have other geometric shapes in various standard sizes. In specific situations, we can tailor geometric shapes, but this is determined on a case-by-case basis. Contact our specialists to see if we can bring your idea to life.

When choosing between these acoustic solutions, it is crucial to take into account the aesthetic aspects and the specific architectural features of the ceiling in question, such as the type and, for example, the (integrated) lighting design. The overall atmosphere and design intent of the room can influence the choice between the acoustic solutions for the ceiling. Our expert team is always there for you and offers expert advice to find the ideal acoustic solution that fits the unique features of your space and your aesthetic vision.

The strategic placement of acoustic ceiling panels is crucial for improving sound quality and varies by type of panel. Traditional acoustic ceiling panels are designed to cover the entire ceiling surface and ensure uniform sound absorption throughout the space. Ceiling baffles and clouds, on the other hand, are suitable for targeted noise control. For example, when they are placed directly above noise sources such as conference tables or workstations, minimizing echoes and reverberations in key areas.
