Commercial Offices
Acoustic panels for offices are an effective way to reduce echo, boost focus, and enhance the overall design of modern workplaces. Engineered to absorb sound reflections from hard surfaces, these panels improve speech intelligibility and comfort in open-plan offices, meeting rooms, call centres, and collaboration areas. By controlling reverberation, office acoustic panels create a calmer, more productive environment without the need for major construction or disruption.
The benefits of office acoustic panels go beyond noise reduction. They help cut background noise, improve the clarity of conversations and video calls, and contribute to a professional, polished look. With a wide range of materials and finishes available—such as fabric-wrapped panels, PET felt, and custom-printed designs—they can complement any interior aesthetic while enhancing workplace wellbeing. Installation is quick and flexible, using adhesive, clip, or suspended systems that fit seamlessly into existing layouts.
Offices can achieve balanced acoustic performance by combining wall panels, baffles, rafts, and acoustic ceiling panels. Desk screens can also help reduce near-field distractions in open workspaces. In most cases, treating 20 to 30 percent of hard surface area delivers a significant improvement in sound quality and comfort.
Many modern acoustic panels are made from sustainable materials such as recycled PET and are fully compliant with commercial fire safety standards. Choosing durable, low-VOC finishes ensures long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance. When planning an installation, start with a simple acoustic assessment and layout review to identify key reflection points and high-traffic zones. A tailored approach will deliver optimal acoustic comfort for your team.

FAQs
How much does acoustic treatment for an office cost?
How much does acoustic treatment for an office cost?
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
Will acoustic panels make my office completely soundproof?
Will acoustic panels make my office completely soundproof?
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.
Where should panels be placed in an office?
Where should panels be placed in an office?
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.
How many panels do I need in my office?
How many panels do I need in my office?
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.
Do acoustic panels actually improve productivity?
Do acoustic panels actually improve productivity?
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.
Can panels be installed without disrupting work?
Can panels be installed without disrupting work?
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.
What materials are office acoustic panels made from?
What materials are office acoustic panels made from?
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
Do office acoustic panels meet UK fire safety standards?
Do office acoustic panels meet UK fire safety standards?
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.
