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. In furnished rooms where people sit or stand, panels should generally be placed a bit higher on the wall or near ear level. In spaces with bare reflective walls, you may benefit from placing sound absorbing panels lower on a wall. Taller wall areas may also benefit from adding coverage in the upper areas. The goal is to distribute sound-absorbing panels throughout the space to create balanced sound control.
Placement Tips:
- Rooms with furniture and people: Position panels near ear level.
- Rooms with bare walls or minimal furnishings: Position panels lower on a wall with optional coverage added 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.
