Solve your echo and reverberation issues with an Acoustics America Acoustic Ceiling Cloud. These fabric-wrapped, sound absorbing clouds are available in a wide array of colors, sizes and thicknesses, and give you the freedom to absorb excess ambient noise according to your design and aesthetic needs. Once you suspend these clouds from your ceiling, you can listen clearly to the sounds that matter.
Note: Product images are digital representations and do not reflect exact colors. For precise color matching requirements, we recommend requesting fabric samples before purchasing.

No, this product is not designed to block or prevent the transfer of sound from one space to another. This is a sound-absorbing product, and it is designed to effectively reduce echo, reverberation and ambient noise. By addressing these issues, these products can dramatically improve sound quality and speech intelligibility in a space.
To address sound-transfer issues from adjacent rooms or spaces, sound-blocking products are required. For some further explanation on the differences between these two concepts, click here for our video on sound blocking.
Please note that quality sound blocking products for walls requires adding layers of drywall, mass loaded vinyl, and green glue. While not overly complicated, these projects do require skills in drywall construction, and the ability to closely follow design instructions for creating a sound proof wall.
We offer our panels, clouds and panel kits in 1 and 2 inch thicknesses.
All cloud purchases include the necessary “cloud-side” Rotofast hardware for ceiling suspension. Our 1″ clouds come with Rotofast Anchors and our 2″ clouds come with 2” Rotofast Extended Anchors. The Rotofast hardware creates eye-hook attachment point(s) on the back of the cloud for suspending. However, suspension cable (or wire, heavy duty monofilament, etc.) is not included, because customer preferences, lengths, and environment vary greatly. Likewise, the upper (ceiling attached) eye-hooks also are not included – again, because ceiling types and customer preferences vary greatly.
Hanging wire is available on our website. See your local hardware store or online hardware shop for other suspension options.
No, our panels are manufactured using a frameless design. We design our panels to be frameless for the following benefits:
Yes, it is! Our high density (6 PCF) Johns Manville Acoustic Fiberglass board provides superior sound absorption when compared to other materials. For our 1″ and 2″ thick panels, the performance of our fiberglass is better than same thickness of foam, Mineral wool, or Owens Corning 703. Also, our core material is quite rigid, so a wooden frame is not required.
Our panels and clouds have fabric on the front of the panel only. If you are looking for a panel with fabric on both sides for desktop or floor standing applications, you might consider gluing two panels together. We do not recommend hanging or suspending panels that you have glued together.

Our products are safe and effective and have been tested by an independent lab. All our panels and clouds carry a Class A fire rating which is the highest rating possible under the ASTM E84, a test used by code officials and regulatory agencies in the acceptance of interior finish materials.
