No. Acoustics America acoustic panels and ceiling clouds are manufactured using a frameless design. We intentionally design our acoustic products without a wood frame because frameless delivers better performance and installation advantages over wood-framed acoustic panels.
Benefits of frameless acoustic panels and ceiling clouds include:
- Lighter Weight: Frameless acoustic panels are easier to ship, handle, and install than wood‑framed alternatives.
- Improved Sound Absorption: Our panels absorb sound on the edges too, giving more absorption area per panel. Wooden framed panels do not.
- Higher Acoustic Performance: Our high-density fiberglass core offers the ultimate amount of sound absorption per inch.
- Additional Rear-side Absorption: Unlike wood-backed panels, when installed using stand‑off mounts, furring strips, or suspended methods, our frameless acoustic panels absorb sound from both the front and back.
- Environmentally Responsible Design: Our frameless construction eliminates the need for wood framing, reducing material usage and supporting a more sustainable acoustic solution.
