What Are Fabric Acoustic Panels?


Controlling sound inside a room isn’t just a technical detail — it directly affects how people feel, concentrate, and communicate. Excessive noise and echo can become a real distraction, whether you’re fitting out a workspace, lecture hall, or public venue. Serenity Fabric Acoustic Panels from Sontext are a reliable way to reduce noise levels while offering a clean, tailored finish that works in a wide range of interiors.

What Are Serenity Fabric Acoustic Panels?


Serenity Fabric Acoustic Panels are wall—or ceiling-mounted solutions designed to absorb reflected sound and reduce echo. Built around a high-performance acoustic core, they’re finished in a selection of durable fabrics, offering both sound and noise reduction while giving an acceptable look and feel to the room.


These panels include the following features:

  • Durable Construction: Made with acoustic insulation, a reinforced acoustic membrane, and an MDF frame for long-term performance.
  • Customisable Sizes and Thicknesses: Available in standard sizes or fully custom dimensions, with thicknesses from 25mm to 100mm to match the acoustic needs of the space.
  • High Traffic Suitability: Built with an impact-resistant L32 membrane, ideal for busy environments such as schools, corridors, and commercial buildings.
  • Eco-Friendly Materials: All components are low-VOC and made using recycled materials where possible.

With options to suit everything from boardrooms to lecture theatres, Serenity Panels offer both acoustic performance and design flexibility in one package.

How Do Serenity Fabric Acoustic Panels Work?


When sound hits a hard surface, it bounces back — creating reverberation. That’s where these panels come in. Serenity Fabric Acoustic Panels absorb sound energy, especially in the mid to high-frequency ranges, helping reduce echo and improving acoustic comfort.


In lab testing, Serenity Panels have achieved NRC ratings of up to 1.16 for 100mm-thick panels. You can increase performance by choosing thicker panels or adding an air gap behind them — particularly useful for absorbing lower frequencies.

Benefits of Serenity Fabric Acoustic Panels

  • Effective Noise Reduction: Helps minimise background noise and echo in shared spaces. Panels can be tuned by thickness and material to target different frequency ranges.
  • Flexible Design Options: A wide range of colours and acoustic fabrics is available. Custom printing and full wrap edges allow you to match the design intent of your space.
  • Durability for High-Traffic Areas: Built for impact resistance, these panels are commonly used in schools, lobbies, and corridors.
  • Fire Safety Compliance: Complies with key Australian and international fire standards including AS5637 and ASTM E84 Class A.
  • Sustainability: Made from GreenStar and GreenRate Certified materials to support responsible building practices.

Where Can Serenity Panels Be Used?


These panels are suited to almost any interior where sound control is important:

  • Offices and Boardrooms: Helps improve speech clarity and reduce distraction in professional environments.

    Improve Office acoustics
  • Educational Facilities: Reduces classroom noise and supports better communication for teachers and students.
  • Hospitality Spaces: Useful for restaurants, cafés, and function venues where noise levels can quickly rise.
  • Entertainment Venues: Commonly used in home cinemas, music studios, and performance halls.
  • Public Spaces: A practical solution for gyms, airports, call centres, and multipurpose facilities.
