Sound-Absorbing Solutions for Offices, Schools & Commercial Interiors

Create quieter, more comfortable interiors with acoustic panels designed to absorb reflected sound, reduce reverberation and improve speech clarity. Our broad Australian range includes wall-mounted panels, ceiling treatments, hanging acoustic elements, decorative felt panels, desk and room screens, peel-and-stick options and feature designs for commercial and education environments.

These products are suited to open-plan offices, meeting rooms, classrooms, libraries, healthcare facilities, hospitality venues and other shared interiors where hard surfaces and multiple sound sources can make conversation difficult. By reducing reflected sound within the room, the right treatment can support clearer communication, improved concentration and a more comfortable experience for occupants.

Acoustic panels are sometimes described as sound-dampening or soundproofing panels, but the distinction is important. Absorptive panels primarily manage echo and reverberation inside a room. They do not normally stop noise passing through walls, doors, windows or between adjoining spaces. Projects affected by external traffic, neighbouring tenancies or sound transfer between rooms may also require an acoustic barrier, upgraded wall systems, door seals or other building treatments.

For effective results, consider the room size, ceiling height, surface finishes, occupancy and primary noise source before choosing a product. A large classroom with concrete floors may require a different combination of coverage and placement from a small meeting room or individual workstation. Wall, ceiling and freestanding treatments can also be combined where one surface alone does not provide enough usable coverage.

Explore Acoustic Treatments by Type
  • Wall acoustic panels provide practical sound absorption while adding colour, texture or a decorative architectural finish.
  • Ceiling acoustics include tiles, rafts, baffles and suspended forms suited to rooms with limited available wall space.
  • 3D acoustic tiles combine sound absorption with sculptural patterns for reception areas, meeting rooms and feature walls.
  • Peel-and-stick panels offer a straightforward option for selected retrofits, smaller rooms and modular wall layouts.
  • Acoustic screens and desk dividers introduce absorption closer to occupants while helping define work or learning zones.
  • Fabric rolls and broad wall coverings can provide continuous colour and texture across larger interior surfaces.
Where Are Acoustic Panels Used?
  • Open-plan offices: Help control background chatter and reflected sound around workstations and collaborative areas.
  • Meeting and conference rooms: Reduce reverberation so voices and video calls are easier to understand.
  • Schools and universities: Support speech clarity and listening comfort in classrooms, libraries and shared learning areas.
  • Healthcare environments: Improve acoustic comfort in consulting rooms, waiting areas and administrative spaces.
  • Hospitality venues: Help manage reflected conversation and ambient noise in cafés, restaurants and communal areas.
  • Reception and public spaces: Combine sound absorption with decorative wall panels, custom designs or printed feature backdrops.
How to Compare Acoustic Panels
  • Acoustic performance: Review the published NRC, weighted sound absorption or frequency data for the individual product and installation method.
  • Panel thickness: Thicker products may provide stronger absorption across a wider frequency range, but performance should be confirmed from product data.
  • Placement and air gaps: Direct-fixed, suspended and spaced installations can perform differently, even when using the same material.
  • Coverage: More absorptive surface area is generally required in large, highly reflective or heavily occupied rooms.
  • Fire performance: Check the nominated fire test or classification where the product will be used in a regulated commercial or education project.
  • Finish and function: Compare colours, patterns, edge details, pinnability, cleanability and impact resistance against the intended environment.
  • Installation: Confirm substrate preparation, fixing requirements, suspension hardware and any recommended professional installation.
Choosing a Solution for Your Project
  • Identify whether the main problem is echo within the room or sound transferring through the building structure.
  • Prioritise treatment near reflective walls, ceilings and areas where people regularly speak, work or learn.
  • Use decorative acoustic wall panels where visual design and sound absorption need to be addressed together.
  • Consider ceiling treatments when wall space is occupied by glazing, storage, displays or presentation surfaces.
  • Use screens or workstation dividers where flexible zoning and localised absorption are required.
  • Compare technical information for the exact product rather than assuming every felt panel has the same rating.
  • Request guidance for large, unusually shaped or acoustically demanding commercial spaces before ordering.

Whiteboards & Pinboards supplies acoustic solutions for projects throughout Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and regional Australia. With options from established acoustic brands, the range supports straightforward room upgrades as well as larger workplace, education and commercial fitouts. Browse by treatment type, compare the relevant product specifications and select a solution suited to the room’s acoustic, visual and installation requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do acoustic panels do?
Acoustic panels absorb reflected sound within a room. This reduces echo and reverberation, which can improve speech clarity, listening comfort and concentration in offices, classrooms, meeting rooms and other shared interiors.
Do acoustic panels soundproof a room?
Not by themselves. Acoustic panels primarily improve sound quality inside a room. Soundproofing aims to prevent noise passing through walls, ceilings, floors, doors or windows and may require dense barriers, insulated wall systems, seals and other construction work.
What is the difference between an NRC rating and an Rw rating?
NRC describes how much sound an absorptive product can absorb across selected frequencies. Rw describes the sound-insulation performance of a building element or system, such as a wall or partition. When comparing absorptive panels, review the product’s published NRC or equivalent sound-absorption data rather than relying on an Rw value alone.
How much acoustic panel coverage does a room need?
The required coverage depends on room dimensions, ceiling height, occupancy, existing finishes and the amount of reverberation. Larger rooms with glass, concrete, plasterboard and other reflective surfaces generally require more treatment than small rooms containing carpet, curtains and soft furnishings.
Are wall panels or ceiling panels more effective?
Both can be effective when correctly selected and positioned. Wall panels are accessible and can become part of the interior design, while ceiling tiles, rafts and acoustic baffles use overhead space and are valuable where walls are occupied by windows, storage or presentation surfaces. Some rooms benefit from a combination of both.
Are felt acoustic wall panels decorative?
Many felt and polyester acoustic panels are available in different colours, textures, patterns and three-dimensional forms. This allows the treatment to operate as a feature wall, branded backdrop or architectural finish while also reducing reflected sound. Available finishes vary by product.
Can acoustic panels be pinned into?
Some acoustic panels also provide a pinnable surface, making them useful in classrooms, offices and shared planning areas. Pinnability is product-specific, so check the individual listing before using pins or display fasteners.
Are acoustic panels suitable for schools and offices?
Yes. Appropriately selected panels can help manage reverberation and improve speech clarity in classrooms, libraries, open-plan offices, meeting rooms, breakout areas and reception spaces. Product durability, fire performance and installation requirements should be checked for the intended environment.
How are acoustic panels installed?
Installation methods can include adhesive fixing, peel-and-stick backing, mechanical fixings, direct mounting or suspension from a ceiling. The correct method depends on the product, substrate and required acoustic performance. Always follow the product-specific installation instructions.
Are all acoustic panels fire rated?
No. Fire test results and classifications vary between products. For commercial, education, healthcare or public-building projects, confirm that the selected panel’s documented fire performance is appropriate for the application and relevant project requirements.
Can acoustic panels reduce traffic or neighbouring noise?
They may reduce reflections from noise already entering a room, but they will not normally prevent traffic or neighbouring noise passing through the building envelope. Those problems may require acoustic glazing, seals, insulation, barrier products or upgraded wall and ceiling construction.
Can acoustic panels be delivered across Australia?
Whiteboards & Pinboards supplies acoustic products to Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and many regional locations. Availability, lead times and freight requirements can vary according to the product, dimensions and delivery postcode.
