Wall mounted and hanging acoustic panels for rooms that ring. The range here is small and deliberate: acoustic wall tiles supplied in sets of four, and acoustic wall and hanging screens in single and three panel versions. They do one job, and they do it where the noise actually lives, on the hard flat surfaces that bounce sound back into the room. If the problem sits at desk level rather than overhead or across the room, desktop and acoustic screens deal with it closer to the source.
What wall panels do for a noisy office
Modern offices are built from hard materials: plasterboard, glass, painted block and vinyl or polished concrete underfoot. Sound hits those surfaces and comes straight back, so voices overlap, calls get repeated and everyone lifts their own volume a notch to be heard over the last person. That is reverberation rather than loudness, and a bit of carpet or a few plants barely touches it. Soft fibrous panels absorb the energy instead of reflecting it, and the room settles without anyone changing how they speak.
Coverage matters more than pinpoint placement. As a rough guide, treat the walls either side of where people sit and talk, and aim to cover a decent proportion of one or two walls rather than dotting single panels around a large room. Hanging panels suit spaces where you cannot drill, such as a rented office or a glazed elevation, and they double as a light visual divider. Tiles in sets of four let you build a solid block or a scattered pattern to suit the wall you are working with.
Treating the whole room
Walls are only one surface of three. Overhead, ceiling acoustics catch the sound travelling up and along an open plan floor, and at floor level floor screens break up long sightlines between teams. Where calls need proper containment rather than softening, privacy booths and pods are the honest solution. Soft furniture pulls its weight too, so a run of soft seating in a break out and canteen area quietly helps the panels along. The full office furnishings range brings all of it together in one place.
