In today’s open office spaces with high ceilings and loft designs, controlling sound has become extremely important for employee focus and well-being. This has created an increased need for acoustic wall and ceiling panels. These panels not only provide sound control functionality, but the numerous design solutions help create quieter spaces without compromising on aesthetics.
Hester Painting & Decorating has been installing these panels in numerous tenant improvement build-outs, and two brands that are commonly specified are Zintra and FilzFelt. They both offer unique materials and design options to meet our clients’ acoustic and architectural needs.
What Are Acoustic Panels?

Acoustic panels are specially designed materials installed on walls or ceilings (and other surfaces) to improve office conditions by absorbing and diffusing sound waves. Their purpose is to reduce noise, eliminate echo, and improve sound clarity in commercial settings. They are used in offices, restaurants, schools, and even in home theaters. Acoustic panels are made of natural materials and are eco-friendly. They are also durable, moisture resistant, and fire retardant.
Why Choose Acoustic Panels?
Here are a few important benefits:
- Better Communication: These panels can help reduce background noises, especially with collaborative work areas becoming more and more prevalent.
- Increased Comfort: Reduced noise and echo help reduce stress and improve focus.
- Enhanced Design: Acoustic panels aren’t just functional, as the manufacturers have hundreds of beautiful options for any design vision.
