Reception Areas

Reception and Foyer Acoustic Panels

Make a Great First Impression — Without the Echo

The reception area is the first point of contact for visitors, clients, and staff, and it sets the tone for the entire space. However, many foyers and lobbies are built with high ceilings, hard surfaces, and minimal soft furnishings, which can cause unwanted echo and noise.

Noise Control in Public and Corporate Spaces

Busy lobbies and reception areas often have tiled floors, glass walls, or exposed ceilings that reflect sound. This creates a harsh acoustic environment where conversations are difficult and the space feels loud and unfocused. Reducing reverberation with acoustic panels can make the space feel calmer and more professional.

Custom Acoustic Solutions for Style and Performance

Serenity Fabric Panels, Serenity Art Panels, and Sonofonic Ceiling Panels are all excellent options for receptions. These panels can be custom-sized, printed with branding, or colour-matched to suit your décor — while significantly improving speech clarity and comfort.

 

Common Noise Problems in Reception Areas

  • Hard surfaces like glass and tiles reflect sound, causing echo
  • Conversations become unclear due to poor acoustics
  • Noise carries into nearby meeting rooms or work areas

Acoustic Panel Options for Receptions and Lobbies

Customised for Your Space and Style

Every Sontext panel is made to order, including size, finish, and how it's installed. You can choose from a wide selection of colours, patterns, or even printed images to suit the look and feel of your reception or lobby area.

Acoustic Panels Create a Better First Impression

A quiet, well-presented reception area helps visitors feel welcome and confident when they walk in. Reducing echo and background noise makes conversations clearer and creates a more professional atmosphere.

It’s also a chance to showcase your business. Acoustic panels can be printed with logos, branding, or imagery that reflects your company’s style and values.

Reducing Noise In Receptions

At Sontext, we know that background noise can impact how people feel in a space — especially in reception areas. That’s why we offer acoustic panels that not only reduce noise but also look great from the moment someone walks in.

Our Serenity Acoustic Panels are highly effective at absorbing sound and come in a wide range of colours and patterns. They can also be printed with logos or images to create custom Acoustic Art Panels. For a natural timber finish, our Murano Perforated Timber Panels offer a warm, refined look.

All panels are suitable for walls or ceilings and can be easily installed in new or existing foyers, lobbies, and reception spaces.
