Acoustic panels, better known as acoustic absorbing panels, are large, sound-absorbing panels strategically placed around a room to improve its acoustics. They are used to help reduce or mitigate noise and unwanted reverberations from spaces such as restaurants, offices, and all types of commercial or residential areas.
What’s interesting with acoustic panels is that they are not only sound absorbing but can also be designed with style, cut, and size according to your space’s aesthetics. In many ways, they are the new trend when it comes to eco-friendly interior design solutions!
How Do Acoustic Absorbing Panels Work?
As we discussed, acoustic absorbing panels tend to absorb unwanted noise from any area, but exactly how do they work? It all lies in the magic of sound absorption.
First, understand that there are two types of surfaces.
§ On the one hand, you have surfaces such as concrete, glass, or metal; these surfaces reflect sound back into the space causing “sound reverberations.” Sound waves tend to spread across a room; they are reflected back every time they hit these surfaces.
§ On the other hand, we have sound-absorbing surfaces, such as those in acoustic panels. These surfaces absorb sound waves and mitigate their effect, reducing the number of reverberations channeling through the air.
Acoustic Absorbing Panels Are Safe!
Unlike soundproofing products manufactured using toxic or non-environmentally friendly materials, acoustic panels are incredibly safe! In fact, it wouldn’t be wrong to say they use one of the safest construction materials. Here is how:
1. No Harmful Emissions
Acoustic panels can be manufactured using recycled PET bottles that prevent the number of plastics from ending up in landfills. These PET panels not only effectively reduce waste but also do not emit any hazardous substances or emissions. This makes them safe for use in all types of environments! The polyester fiber acoustic panel is also known to be skin-friendly, free of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and yet offers incredibly sound-absorbing capabilities.
2. Lightweight
Another major benefit of acoustic panels is their lightweight design. The manufacturing materials used in constructing acoustic absorbing panels are also incredibly lightweight, reducing transportation costs. With their weight being low, they also reduced the chances of injury on impact, securing human safety at every step of their manufacturing and installation!
3. Completely Moisture-Proof
Acoustic absorbing panels are further known to be moisture resistant or moisture-proof when exposed to liquids. Their tendency to be moisture-proof also renders them to be antimicrobial. Since these acoustic panels will be up for extended periods, you may be worried about them growing mold. However, that won’t be likely due to their antimicrobial and moisture-proof nature. Their ability to be fungal resistant and mold resistant also makes them perfect for use in all types of environments without risking the health of humans.
4. Fire-Rated as Class A per ASTM E84
Finally, acoustic panels are fire rated as class A according to the American standards ASTM E84, which once again ensures human safety. A class A rating renders these acoustic absorbing panels as being superior when it comes to fire protection or fire resistance. This further reduces the chances of any fire disaster, unlike other flammable materials.
