Sports halls are large spaces with hard floors, high ceilings, and reflective surfaces that create excessive echo. Acoustic panels absorb these reflections, reducing noise and improving communication and comfort during activities.

No — acoustic panels are designed to absorb sound inside the space, not block it from leaving or entering. They make the hall quieter and clearer but don’t provide full soundproofing.

By reducing reverberation, panels make it easier for coaches, teachers, and players to hear instructions. This not only improves concentration but also enhances safety during sports sessions.

Panels are usually mounted high on the walls or suspended as ceiling baffles and rafts. This keeps them clear of impact zones while still effectively controlling sound reflections.

Yes. Panels are made with robust, impact-resistant finishes suitable for schools, gyms, and leisure centres. Many designs are tested to withstand ball strikes and general wear and tear.

No. Panels and baffles are installed around existing light fittings and vents, ensuring proper airflow and consistent lighting throughout the space.

Absolutely. Acoustic treatment reduces echo and improves clarity, making speech announcements and music playback much easier to understand in large, open environments.

Yes. Professional-grade sports hall acoustic panels meet UK fire safety standards such as Class 0 or Class 1, ensuring they’re safe for use in public and educational buildings.

Coverage varies by size and material, but typically treating 30–50% of the ceiling or wall area produces a noticeable improvement in sound control.

High-quality panels typically last 10–15 years or more, maintaining their acoustic performance and appearance with minimal maintenance.
