Acoustic Panels for Offices
Reduce reverberation, soften open-plan noise and improve speech clarity in commercial offices. EchoPanel® and acoustic tiles tested to published Sound Absorption Class data, in 37 colourways across the 12mm range.
Open-plan offices are loud by design. Hard floors, glazed partitions and exposed soffits keep sound bouncing, which is why almost every contemporary office fit-out specifies decorative acoustic panels somewhere in the brief. We supply the full EchoPanel® range direct to designers, builders and facilities managers across Australia, with full sound absorption data, fire rating to Group 1 and Climate Active Carbon Neutral certification.
Why offices need acoustic treatment
Workplace research consistently identifies noise as the top complaint in open-plan offices. Reverberation makes meetings harder to follow, calls bleed across the floor, and concentration suffers in any space with hard surfaces. Decorative acoustic panels absorb mid and high-frequency sound where it would otherwise reflect, lowering reverberation time and lifting speech intelligibility. The benefit is measurable: a panelled meeting room or call-heavy zone feels calmer the moment you step into it.
Recommended ranges for office fit-outs
EchoPanel® 12mm is the workhorse for office walls and partitions. For higher-absorption zones (boardrooms, focus rooms, video conferencing) the 24mm or precision cut tiles installed with a 20mm or 50mm air gap deliver a higher α_w. Embossed and 3D formed panels add visual depth where the panel doubles as a feature wall.
EchoPanel® 12mm
Flat 12mm sheet, 37 colourways. Direct fix to walls and partitions. Group 1 fire rated.
EchoPanel® 24mm
Higher sound absorption for boardrooms, call-heavy zones and video conferencing rooms.
Acoustic Tiles
Tile format for ceiling drops or modular wall installations in larger workspaces.
EchoPanel® 3D Formed
Decorative depth for reception walls, meeting rooms and feature corridors.
Specification guidance for offices
Direct fix gives the cleanest install for partitions and feature walls. For acoustic-critical rooms, EchoPanel® sheet panels (12mm and 24mm) publish weighted sound absorption (α_w) data at direct fix, 20mm air gap and 50mm air gap, so the spec can be matched to the room's reverberation target. Confirm fire compliance with the local jurisdiction. EchoPanel® 12mm and EchoPanel® 24mm are both certified AS 5637.1 Group 1, suitable for most commercial Class 5 and 6 applications.
