Sound-absorbing panels for reverberation control in open spaces
Sound-absorbing panels are essential for improving acoustics in open spaces, where diffuse noise and reverberation compromise concentration and wellbeing. Installed on walls, ceilings or suspended, they absorb critical frequencies and reduce echo, creating a more balanced and productive environment.
Technical specifications
- Class A sound-absorbing materials according to UNI EN ISO 11654 for reverberation control.
- Complete range of wall-mounted panels, ceiling-suspended panels and vertical baffles for open spaces and coworking areas.
- Density optimised for absorption of the mid-high frequencies typical of open-space offices.
- Fire-retardant and low-emission certifications to ensure safety and environmental wellbeing.
Typical configurations
High-density open spaces
Treatment of large reflective surfaces with wall-mounted and suspended panels to reduce reverberation time (RT) and contain background noise in very crowded environments.
Collaborative coworking areas and digital operational spaces
Mixed wall and ceiling solutions to improve speech intelligibility, support collaboration and maintain a good level of focus in digital work areas.
Corridors and transit zones
Wall-mounted panels and vertical baffles to attenuate reflections along corridors and passageways, preventing noise from spreading towards operational areas.
Reverberation reduction to improve intelligibility and concentration
Reverberation control is essential in open spaces, where sound reflection generates acoustic confusion and reduces concentration. Sound-absorbing panels act on dominant frequencies, decreasing echo and increasing speech clarity. The result is a quieter and more balanced environment that supports focus, cognitive comfort and more effective communication.
Strategic installation on walls and ceilings for maximum effectiveness
The effectiveness of panels depends on their strategic positioning: reflective walls, high ceilings and hard surfaces amplify reverberation. Installing sound-absorbing elements in these areas makes it possible to act on critical points, significantly reducing sound propagation. Correct distribution ensures acoustic uniformity and more natural perceived comfort throughout the environment.
Suspended panels and vertical baffles for areas with high sound volume
In highly frequented environments, such as high-density open spaces or coworking areas, suspended panels and vertical baffles are an ideal solution. Their three-dimensional geometry increases the active absorption surface and improves diffuse noise control. They are particularly effective on mid-high frequencies and help stabilise the acoustic environment even in the noisiest zones.
Certified sound-absorbing materials for guaranteed performance
Certified sound-absorbing materials offer measurable performance according to UNI EN ISO standards, with effective absorption in the most critical frequencies. Technical fibres, recycled PET and high-density mineral foams ensure stability, resistance and safety. Low-emission versions also contribute to environmental wellbeing and the overall sustainability of the workspace.
Key aspects to consider include the reverberation time to be reduced, strategic installation positions, the type of activity carried out and the predominant frequencies in the space. A professional acoustic consultation helps correctly size the intervention.
FAQ
Because it increases acoustic confusion and cognitive stress: voices overlap, background noise rises and it becomes harder to concentrate and communicate effectively.
They are a fundamental tool, but they work best when integrated with other solutions, such as correct space distribution, furniture and further targeted acoustic interventions.
On hard surfaces, free walls and ceilings, especially in the most reflective and noisy zones, to act directly on the main sources of reverberation.
Materials certified according to UNI EN ISO standards, such as recycled PET panels, mineral fibres and high-density technical foams, which guarantee measurable performance and safety.
Significantly: they reduce noise and echo, improve speech intelligibility and help create a quieter, more focused and comfortable environment for those working there.
