Types of acoustic finishes

Acoustic panels  

Acoustic panels made from sound-absorbing materials like foam or mineral wool. They are used to reduce echo and reverberation in a room. Acoustic panels come in various sizes, colours, and designs, allowing for both functional and decorative use.

Acoustic ceiling tiles 

These tiles are specifically designed for ceiling applications to reduce sound transmission and control reverberation. They are commonly used in offices, schools, and other commercial spaces.

Acoustic fabrics

Fabrics that are specially designed to absorb sound rather than reflecting it. They are often used to cover acoustic panels or can be hung as curtains to reduce sound reflections.

Acoustic foam 

This is a lightweight, porous material that can be used to line walls, ceilings, and other surfaces to absorb sound. Acoustic foam is popular in recording studios and home theatres due to its effectiveness and ease of installation.

Bass traps 

Designed to absorb low-frequency sounds, bass traps are commonly placed in corners of a room where bass frequencies tend to build up. They are essential in recording studios for achieving clear sound quality.

Diffusers 

Unlike absorbers, diffusers scatter sound, reducing focused echoes and reverberations. They help in evenly distributing sound across a room, making them ideal for concert halls and theatres.

Acoustic partitions 

These are movable walls or screens used to control sound in an open space. They are especially useful in open office environments or multi-use spaces.

Sound barriers 

These are heavy, dense materials used to block sound from entering or leaving a space. Common materials include mass-loaded vinyl, which can be added to walls, floors, and ceilings.

Insulation materials 

Various types of insulation, like fibreglass or rock wool, can be used within walls and ceilings to reduce sound transmission between rooms.

Wooden acoustic panels 

These panels combine the aesthetic of wood with sound-absorbing properties. They are often used in architectural designs where appearance is as important as sound quality.

The advantages of acoustic finishes

Acoustic finishes offer numerous benefits, effectively reducing noise by absorbing sound, thus creating a quieter environment essential in both professional and home settings. This noise reduction enhances the acoustics of a space, improving speech clarity and overall sound quality, making them ideal for theatres and meeting spaces. These finishes are available in a variety of styles and designs, enriching the visual appeal of any room. The diminished background noise provides aids in enhancing concentration and productivity, particularly in work and study areas. Furthermore, they act as sound isolators, preventing noise from travelling between rooms, which is crucial for maintaining privacy and comfort. 

How to choose acoustic finishes

When selecting acoustic finishes, it's important to first identify the specific acoustic requirements of your space, as different environments, like home theatres, offices, or living areas, have unique needs. Align your choice with the room's existing decor to ensure the finishes enhance the interior design. Choose between various types of finishes like panels, tiles, fabrics, or foams, based on the level of sound control you need. Assess the quality and durability of the materials for long-term effectiveness. Seeking advice from acoustic experts or interior designers can also be beneficial in making an informed decision.
