Noisy restaurant solutions- when peace and quiet are not on the menu
Acoustic solutions for restaurants is not a luxury, but a necessity. The dining experience has come a long way over the past few decades. Restaurant owners go to great lengths to create spaces that we all want to go to as much for the ambiance as we do for the food. The entire place has […]

The depth and dynamics of Acoustic Panels
The ability to perceive sound is a gift. Like all senses, it can produce immense pleasure and it can annoy you like crazy. There is a big difference between the volume produced by your favorite band in a classic venue and the volume produced by a house full of screaming family. It has less to […]
Installing Sound Silencer Panels
Noise levels in large spaces with highly-reflective surfaces can quickly become overwhelming – especially if they are left acoustically untreated. The best strategy is to use acoustical absorber panels to reduce some of the energy of reflected sound as well as acoustical diffuser panels to help even it out. By diminishing and spreading out the […]
Installing Fabric-Wrapped Acoustic Panels
Whether you’re treating an office, a professional recording space, or a home entertainment room, acoustical treatments involve only two types of acoustical panels: absorbers and diffusers.

By removing some of the reflected sound energy – but not all of it – our ears and brains are better able to focus […]
Installing a Standard Acoustic Panel
If left acoustically untreated, the acoustical properties of spaces can be significantly diminished. Sound travels so fast that it fills a room almost instantly. It can also propagate from sources in up to 360 degrees, so it’s easy to imagine how a room with flat, highly-reflective surfaces will create a nearly infinite number of sound […]
Installing Echo Eliminator Wall Panels
If left acoustically untreated, large, open spaces like some restaurants, school gyms and cafeterias, shopping malls, or sporting venues, to name a few, can generate tremendous volumes of echo and reverberation, making individual as well as public communications very difficult if not outright irritating and hazardous to our health. Public address or speaker systems often […]

Doctors, legal professionals, and business executives, for example, all require speech privacy and confidentiality as well as freedom from external noise which may interrupt their work and conversations.
