How to Select the Right Kind of Fabric for Acoustic Panels?

by Gerald Hynes Sontext Business owner
A noisy home or a workplace is a source of endless troubles and discomfort. Prolong exposure to sound of high decibels can cause a number of problems that includes hearing impairment, heart disease, hypertension, changes in the immune system and sleep disturbance. A home, office, hotel or a restaurant with poor sound quality will see a lack of zest in its occupants as the echo or reverberation of sound spoils their moods and produces adverse effects on their health.

Thanks to acoustic engineers and acoustic panel suppliers who can help you provide the best acoustic treatment to your home or commercial complex. They will help you select high quality timber acoustic wall panels or Fabric Acoustic Panels that will absorb unwanted sound and reduce reverberation, thereby enhancing comfort and serenity of your rooms.

Whether it is a recording studio with hardwood flooring and glasses or a noisy restaurant, selecting and installing the right kind of sound absorbing panels is crucial to improve the sound quality of rooms and ensure the comfort of occupants.

So how do you select the right fabric acoustic wall or ceiling panels that will provide you the best result? Here is a checklist of some pointers to look for:-

1.Select Fabric with suitable acoustical transparency

When you are looking for a suitable fabric for acoustic panels then you need to check that the fabric allows sound/noise to pass through it easily. As acoustic panels need to absorb sound, hence sound waves must pass through the fabric and are not reflected that would fail to serve the purpose.

You can blow air through a small fabric sample that would let you know whether the fabric is easily breathable or not. Experts suggest selecting unbacked fabric that allows maximum sound transfer and they stretch well. 

2.Go for fabric that is hydrophobic, stable and does not sag or ripple

Fabric that is natural, hydrophobic and demonstrates the property of stability for a long time can be the ideal choice for an acoustic panel. Cotton, linen and wool elongates in humidity and are not suitable fabric for acoustic panels. Polyester and acrylic have been found to be very stable and remain tight after stretching. It is best to use blended fabric acoustic panels that consist of both natural and synthetic fabrics.

3.Choose fabric that absorbs sound and enhances the visual appeal of interiors

Besides the functionality, what the customers look for in acoustic panels is their effect on the visual appeal of the interiors. No wonder, suppliers focus on maintaining a fine balance between functionality and aesthetics. Acoustic panels that absorb sound and enhance the beauty and elegance of interiors are widely preferred.

It is best to consult experts who will help you select the best in class Fabric Acoustic Panels that would cater to your noise control requirements and let you get good compliments from all quarters for their beautiful looks.
