No. The orientation of our fabric-wrapped acoustic panels does not affect their sound absorption performance. Our high-density acoustic panels deliver the same acoustical benefits regardless of the direction they are mounted on walls.

What matters most is having adequate coverage in your space to reduce echo and reverberation. For ceilings under 12 feet, position your echo reducing sound panels 3 to 4 feet above the floor, near ear level. For ceilings higher than 12 feet, add coverage in the upper areas is also recommended. Evenly distribute sound-absorbing panels throughout the space to create balanced sound control.

Placement Tips:

• Under 12′ ceilings: Panels 3-4 feet above floor, near ear level.
• Over 12′ ceilings: Include coverage in upper wall areas.

Fabric Note: Some fabric patterns are directional and may look different when rotated. Always check pattern orientation before installation. Consult our Acoustics America team for more assistance.

We recommend a golf ball sized amount of Loctite Powergrab Adhesive to each impaling clip.  According to our installation guide:

• A 120″ x 48″ acoustic panel includes 10 impaling clips
• A 60″ x 48″ fabric-wrapped panel includes 6 standard impaling clips

A single 9 oz. tube typically covers 10-15 impaling clips.

Unsure how many 9 oz. tubes of Loctite you need for your acoustic panels? Complete our inquiry form and our customer support team will answer your questions and walk you through the ordering process.

Our polyester acoustic products are cleanable with mild cleaners. You can find more information in our polyester acoustics cleaning guide.

Yes! The polyester fibers trap and dissipate sound energy, minimize reverberation and echo.  Polyester felt is an effective material for sound absorption in a variety of settings, including but not limited to offices, restaurants, houses of worship, home theaters and auditoriums.

Yes they are!  They are 100% recyclable and made from 60% recycled material.  In addition to being environmentally friendly, recycled polyester felt is low-VOC and odorless.

PET or polyester felt is made from recycled PET plastic (Polyethylene Terephthalate).  This eco-friendly material provides excellent sound management, making it ideal for a variety of acoustic projects.  Polyester felt products are lightweight, durable, visually appealing and easy to install and maintain.  PET acoustics are a smart choice for diverse settings.

Polyester and fiberglass acoustical panels differ in material composition, performance, and application. When choosing between the two, consider your specific acoustic needs, environmental preferences, and aesthetic goals of your space. Both options can effectively enhance acoustics, but each excels in different scenarios.

Advantages of Fiberglass Fabric Wrapped Core Panels:

• Best Absorber
• Proven Solution, industry standard for noise reduction
• Balance absorption across full frequency spectrum
• Lower cost
• Available with any fabric and any color

Advantages of Polyester Fabric Wrapped Core Panels:

• Tackable, able to be used as a bulletin board
• Impact-resistant, (i.e., gymnasiums)
• Moisture-resistant (i.e., indoor swimming pools)
• Eco-Friendly, derived from recycled materials
• Available in any custom shape
• Available with any fabric and any color

Our polyester core fabric wrapped panels are tackable and able to be used as bulletin boards. We do not recommend using the fiberglass core fabric wrapped panels as bulletin boards.

Bass Traps are an acoustical treatment that reduces sound issues in the corners of rooms where walls meet, and sound is captured. They are specifically designed to address low frequency standing wave issues, which can create unpleasant or distorted sounds. (Standing waves are defined as the interference of two identical waves, traveling in opposite directions).

By installing Bass Traps, standing waves are reduced, and excessive room reverberation is also reduced. Bass traps are mostly commonly used in recording studios, home theaters, podcast studios, and rooms where loud music and low-end bass sounds exist.
