Collection: Conference & Meeting Rooms

For a typical small-to-medium meeting room (10-25m²), expect to spend £1,000–£2,500 on materials. This usually means treating the ceiling and one or two walls with mid-range PET felt or fabric-wrapped panels. Larger boardrooms (40m²+) or rooms requiring premium printed/branded finishes typically come in at £2,500–£5,000. Our acoustic calculator gives you a tailored material list based on your specific room dimensions.

Almost immediately — usually on the first call after installation. A typical untreated glass-walled meeting room has a reverberation time of 0.8-1.2 seconds, which microphones pick up as that hollow, distant quality remote participants find tiring. Effective treatment brings reverberation down to 0.5-0.8 seconds, the range recommended for speech-focused rooms. Meeting attendees and remote participants both notice the difference instantly: voices sound natural, microphones pick up clean speech rather than reflections, and the "please mute, there's an echo" requests stop.

For meeting rooms, conference rooms and boardrooms, the target is 0.5-0.8 seconds (RT60). This range gives you natural-sounding speech without the room feeling acoustically dead. Most untreated meeting rooms land somewhere between 0.8 and 1.5 seconds depending on size and surfaces — uncomfortably reverberant for both in-person discussions and video calls. Larger boardrooms or rooms used heavily for presentations sometimes target slightly lower (0.4-0.6 seconds) for maximum speech clarity.

The most effective locations are the ceiling above the table, the wall opposite the main display screen, and any pair of parallel walls (which create flutter echoes between them). Treating panels around microphone positions — particularly behind the speaker and above the table — gives the cleanest audio for video calls. As a rule, treat the ceiling first, then add wall panels to address specific reflection points.

A useful starting point is 25-35% coverage of the total wall and ceiling area. For a typical 20m² meeting room, that's around 8-12m² of panels — usually a combination of 4-6m² on the ceiling and 4-6m² across two walls. The acoustic calculator gives you a precise figure based on your room dimensions and current materials.

Yes. Most meeting room installations take 2-4 hours and are typically scheduled overnight or at weekends to avoid any disruption. Lightweight panels can be fixed with adhesive or hooks; suspended ceiling rafts need a stepladder but no specialist access equipment for a typical meeting room. For office-wide installations across multiple meeting rooms, our sister company Resonics can phase the work around your operational calendar.

Yes. Panels are available in 25+ stock fabric and PET felt colours, plus custom-printed options that can carry your brand artwork, photography or even acoustic-friendly illustrations. Many businesses use the rear wall of their main meeting room as a branded acoustic feature — improving call quality and reinforcing brand identity in every Zoom screenshot. Lead times for custom prints are typically 6-10 weeks; stocked colours ship in 2-3 weeks.

Yes. Every panel we sell carries a UK/EU fire classification suitable for commercial environments — typically Euroclass B-s1,d0 or higher under BS EN 13501-1. Specific ratings are listed on every product page, and certification documents are available for any project that requires them.
