Wall Treatments
Acoustic Panels
Acoustic panels are wall treatments designed to absorb sound, reducing echo, reverberation, and noise transmission. While originally utilitarian, modern acoustic panels combine function with aesthetics, available in colors, patterns, and artistic designs.
In open-plan living, home theaters, and recording spaces, acoustic panels solve real problems while adding visual interest. The panels absorb mid and high frequencies that create echo, making spaces more comfortable for conversation, music, and media.
