Collection: Commercial Offices

For a typical 200m² open-plan office, expect to spend £4,000–£12,000 on materials, depending on coverage area and panel choice. PET felt panels (Autex Cube, SilentSpace) sit at the lower end; premium fabric-wrapped or branded printed options come in higher. Smaller offices and meeting rooms typically come in under £2,000

No — acoustic panels absorb sound within a room, while soundproofing blocks sound transmission between rooms. Panels improve sound quality inside your office but won't stop noise from entering or leaving entirely.

For best results, panels should be installed where sound reflections are most common — typically behind banks of desks, along meeting room walls, on ceilings above open-plan areas, and behind hard surfaces like glass partitions. Hanging baffles or rafts work especially well in offices with high ceilings or exposed services.

A useful starting point is 30–40% coverage of one major surface (typically the ceiling, or a combination of ceiling and walls). For a 200m² open-plan office, that's roughly 60–80m² of panels. The exact figure depends on room volume, ceiling height and existing surfaces — our calculator gives you a precise recommendation.

Yes — peer-reviewed studies have repeatedly linked excessive office noise to reduced concentration, higher cognitive fatigue and lower task accuracy. The British Council for Offices recommends a reverberation time of under 1 second for open-plan offices, with under 0.6 seconds for enclosed offices and meeting rooms. Bringing a noisy office down to those targets typically delivers a noticeable improvement in focus, fewer "can you repeat that" moments on calls, and reduced end-of-day fatigue.

In most cases, yes. Wall panels and ceiling rafts can typically be installed during evenings or weekends without significant downtime. Larger projects or open-plan spaces may benefit from a phased rollout. Our sister company Resonics handles full installations for office clients across the UK and works around your operational schedule.

Most are made from recycled polyester (PET felt), mineral wool wrapped in fabric, or moulded polyester foam. PET felt is the most common in modern offices because it's lightweight, available in 25+ colours, and made from recycled bottles. Each product page shows materials and recycled content percentage

Yes. Most panels we sell carry a UK/EU fire classification suitable for commercial environments — typically Euroclass B-s1,d0 or equivalent under BS EN 13501-1. Specific ratings are listed on each product page so you can match them to your project specification.
