We manufacture acoustic panels to custom sizes in our manufacturing facility in Oakville, Ontario, Canada.
We don't import acoustic panels from the US or China.
We Install the acoustic panels ourselves with our own employees.
We don't subcontract the installation out.
Yes, acoustic panel placement is important in a room. It is ideal to install the acoustic panels on 2 to 3 perpendicular surfaces. We are not always able to address all the wall and ceiling areas that we would like, due to furniture, fixtures, conduit, pictures etc. The proper coverage and acoustic panel configuration is just as important as the panels themselves. If I had a choice, I would choose coverage over NRC rating.
We often get inquiries requesting soundproofing panels. This term can be ambiguous and can mean different things to different people. Soundproofing is very different than sound dampening. Our acoustic panels dampen sound. In terms of absolutes, there is no such thing as a soundproof panel.
Soundproofing is sound blocking, unfortunately our acoustic panels will not stop the sound of voices travelling from one room to another. Soundproofing a wall typically involves some light construction,
The source of sound leak can be around doors, exposed hvac registers and air intakes, and poor quality ceiling tiles. Interior walls are sometimes responsible for allowing sound to transfer in and out of a room. Although drywall walls look solid, they are nothing but some chalk and paper. People are often surprised when they can hear voices coming from the other side of the wall.
We can help reduce the echo and noise in your office,where the noise you are trying to reduce is generated in the room.

We get lots of calls, from people that are trying to stop noise from travelling from one room to another. In order to stop sound, which is essentially vibrations, you will have to employ dense material on the surface that the sound is travelling through, This can be expensive, time consuming and costly. Unfortunately acoustic panels don't help with that. For a full explanation of soundproofing Read more...
Decorative acoustic panels, are panels that are wrapped with custom printed fabric. For example, you might want to print your logo, an image or your branding. They are just as effective acoustically, as we use special fabric to print on. Unfortunately printing can cost almost the same as the panel themselves.
Soundproofing is the process of stopping sound from traveling from one area to another. Acoustic panels do not help with this. If you have a sound issue that is related sound escaping, bleeding or travelling from one space to another, Some people search for sound blocking panels, unfortunately these do not exist.
Soundproofing is the answer, not sound dampening. To better understand the differences between soundproofing and sound dampening, Read More...
Echo reduction panels are simply another name for acoustic panels, designed to absorb sound waves reflecting from surface to surface, in a room.
Acoustic panels also known as acoustic sound panels, sound absorbing panels, or just sound panels
Acoustic panels are typically made in sizes from 1'x1' to 4'x8' and ranging in thickness from 1" to 2". Other manufactures may offer acoustic panels that come in different shapes and size.
They are the most cost effective solution to achieve noise attenuation, in an office or restaurant. The inside of the panel is made with acoustic media that converts sound to heat, There is usually an internal frame to provide the panel with clean lines and allow for installation. The panel is then wrapped with acoustically transparent fabric or vinyl.
