Improving the Acoustics of a Workspace

Acoustic Panels in an Office

Desk Attachments

Acoustic desk screens and dividers are simple yet effective solutions for reducing noise in open-plan offices. These sound-absorbing panels attach to desks, creating a barrier that helps minimise distractions from nearby conversations and office equipment. They come in various materials, including fabric-covered foam, wooden core panels, and PET-based acoustic materials, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Some models even feature tool rails for mounting monitors, keeping workspaces organised while improving acoustics.

Wall and Floor Installations

For more comprehensive noise control, businesses can install wall-mounted acoustic panels and floor-based partitions. Wall panels are designed to absorb sound waves, reducing echo and improving speech clarity in meeting rooms, call centres, and collaborative spaces. These panels come in various designs, including wooden slats, fabric-covered boards, and custom-printed acoustic surfaces, allowing businesses to integrate them seamlessly into their office décor4. Floor-based acoustic partitions, on the other hand, act as mobile barriers that can be repositioned to create quieter zones within an office.
