Why use acoustic panels?

Acoustic panels absorb sound and reduce echoes and reverberation. Thus increasing the quality of sound and the clarity of speech or music. As detailed in this reference where an acoustic engineer describes the design problems of concert hall acoustics. Thus good acoustic design contributes to a peaceful environment, not just indoors but also outside, especially in built up areas where unwanted noise reverberates off buildings. At work acoustic panels are invaluable for reducing background noise in shared office spaces. In a meeting room or video conference room acoustic panels vastly increase the quality of the speech. Outside acoustic panels absorb rail, traffic and other unwanted noise to promote a peaceful environment. To read more about noise barriers, conference room acoustics or other applications see markets that we serve. 

The most versatile acoustic panels available

Quietstone Light is a rigid, durable panel made from recycled glass. The panels are suitable for interior and exterior uses especially where an element of impact resistance is required. Quietstone Light can be pigmented or treated with a range of finishes to suit your individual requirements. As well as being a magnificent sound absorbing product our acoustic panels are non combustible, chemically inert and non fibrous. Panels are either mechanically fixed with screws or detailed fixings or bonded with our tile adhesive. As we manufacture Quietstone Light we have a range of sizes available including custom options.They are supplied in pre-cut sizes, but can be easily cut or shaped on site.

As the developer and manufacturer we can produce panels to meet your specification, application and budget. Please get in touch to discuss your requirements. For suitable projects we offer a free acoustic survey and quote.

Quietstone Light is made from recycled glass. This also means that like many of our products they have a low carbon footprint and can contribute towards improving the sustainability of a project and increase the BREEAM rating for new buildings.

Sound Absorption iconSound Absorption

Sound absorption or noise deadening, is one of the key properties of Quietstone. The structure of the material is designed to take in and absorb the sound energy. This unwanted sound is then lost or transmitted away thus ‘deadening’ the noise.

Sound Insulation iconSound Insulation

We offer expertise and a range of products for sound insulation. Whether your requirement is for an indoor or outdoor noise barrier we have a range of products suitable for any sound insulation project. We supply barrier sheets for partition walls, ceiling systems and lining material for marine engine rooms.

Fire Protection IconFire Proofing

Fireproof is one of the key properties of Quietstone. Fire protection is a valuable property required in a range of applications, from tunnel linings to marine engine rooms.

Frequently Asked Questions 

How do acoustic panels work?

Acoustic panels are sound-absorbing surfaces that you may hang from your ceiling, attach to glass, or affix to your walls. In noisy environments, acoustic panels are used to lessen, mitigate, or absorb noise pollution. These panels are simple to install anywhere in the office and are available in a number of finishes, colours, and sizes, making them the most popular soundproofing option for offices. Although their primary goal is to lessen noise pollution in public areas, they also contribute to the aesthetic appeal of any wall space to which they are affixed.

Do soundproofing panels actually work?

Yes, sound absorption panels do function, but how well they work depends on a variety of factors, including the room's size, the number of panels utilized, and the amount of noise you want to minimize. It will be simpler to hear and concentrate if sound-absorbing panels are positioned where sound waves reflect back. By absorbing sound in your office, classroom, canteen, or anywhere else where excessive noise is a significant issue, sound-absorbing panels enhance the acoustic quality within your space. The size of the panels and the material used to build them have an impact on how well they absorb sound. Although thicker panels could block more sound waves, the total number of panels in a room generally has more of an impact on the amount of sound reduction experienced within the space.

What is the difference between acoustic treatment and insulation?

Acoustic treatment is designed to improve space acoustics by correcting acoustic deficiencies and customizing the characteristics of each room according to its needs. Insulation, as the word itself suggests, is only meant to insulate one space from the other in terms of noise.
