Choosing the Right Acoustic Panels for Your Space
Why Use Acoustic Panels?
Unwanted sound reflections in offices, halls, classrooms, and gyms can cause speech distortion, discomfort, and distraction. Acoustic panels reduce reverberation — the reflected sound off hard surfaces — making communicating, concentrating, and feeling comfortable in a space easier. Excess noise in enclosed environments can also increase stress and reduce productivity.
Types of Acoustic Panels Available
Acoustic panels come in different materials and formats, each offering specific benefits depending on the environment and design intent. Whether the goal is clear speech, a quieter interior, or visual appeal, there’s a solution to match.
Fabric Acoustic Panels
Fabric-wrapped panels are a versatile solution for sound control in offices, schools, studios, and public buildings. They provide excellent sound absorption and can be matched to interior décor. Sontext offers various colours, fabrics, and custom sizes for both wall and ceiling applications.
Timber Acoustic Panels
Timber panels combine acoustic performance with the warmth of natural finishes. Murano panels from Sontext feature a range of perforation patterns that allow sound to pass through while offering a refined timber aesthetic. These are ideal for hospitality venues, boardrooms, worship spaces, and lobbies.
Acoustic Art Panels
Art Panels offer a creative way to manage sound. These panels feature high-resolution fabric prints — from branded imagery to photography — while still delivering strong sound absorption. They are commonly used in corporate spaces, schools, and meeting rooms where design flexibility is key.
Tailored Solutions for Different Environments
Sontext provides acoustic panels that can be adapted to suit any space, from performance halls to classrooms and offices. Whether installed on walls or ceilings, the panels help reduce reflected noise and support better sound clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of acoustic panels?
A: Acoustic panels are used to absorb sound and reduce reverberation, making it easier to hear clearly in a space.

A: Both are effective. Fabric panels absorb more mid-to-high frequencies, while timber panels offer style and acoustic control with perforation design.
Q: Can art panels be used in professional settings?
A: Yes. Acoustic art panels are common in boardrooms, lobbies, and offices where brand presence and sound control are both priorities.
Q: Do you supply ceiling-mounted acoustic panels?
A: Yes. All Sontext panel types can be installed on ceilings, depending on your acoustic needs and design intent.
