The science behind Echopanel 24mm 2
Echopanel 24mm 2 works by absorbing sound waves rather than reflecting them. When sound energy hits the panel surface, the dense PET felt fibres convert it into microscopic heat energy — reducing the amount of echo and reverberation bouncing around your space. The thicker the panel and the more surface area covered, the greater the reduction in reverberation time.
Broad-frequency sound absorption
At 24mm thick, this panel targets the mid-to-high frequency range (500Hz–4kHz) where speech and most workplace noise sits. The thicker construction extends performance into lower frequencies, making it suitable for spaces with heavier noise or music.
Air gap dramatically boosts performance
Direct-fixing the panel to a wall delivers the baseline acoustic rating. Mounting with a 20–50mm air gap behind the panel can increase absorption by 50–100%, especially at lower frequencies. An air gap is recommended for professional installations.
Made from 100% PET felt
The panel core is 100% PET polyester felt manufactured from recycled plastic bottles. This gives it a dense, uniform fibre structure ideal for sound absorption, while being lightweight, low-VOC, and fully recyclable.

Built for spaces where acoustics matter
From corporate offices to hospitality fitouts, Echopanel 24mm 2 delivers measurable acoustic improvement where hard surfaces create echo, noise fatigue, or speech clarity issues. Here are the environments where we see this panel deliver the biggest impact.
Open-plan offices
The problem
Hard surfaces in modern offices (glass partitions, concrete ceilings, polished floors) bounce sound around, causing speech privacy issues, concentration loss, and workplace fatigue.
The solution
Use as wall-mounted panels behind workstations or as feature walls in collaboration zones. The 24mm thickness cuts broadband noise significantly.
25–40% wall coverage
Boardrooms & meeting spaces
The problem
Echo in meeting rooms makes conversations tiring, harms presentation audio quality, and creates poor video call experiences with hollow, reverberant sound.
The solution
Install as feature wall behind the presentation screen or full-wall treatment opposite the seating. Cleaner, clearer speech improves meeting productivity and video call quality.
30–50% wall coverage
Hospitality & restaurants
The problem
Concrete floors, exposed ceilings and hard walls create a lively atmosphere that tips into unbearable noise during peak service — diners shout, staff tire, reviews suffer.
The solution
Wall panels on one long wall behind banquettes, or broken into feature elements, tame the worst reflections while keeping the space feeling alive.
25–40% wall coverage
Home theatres & media rooms
The problem
Uncontrolled reflections muddy dialogue, collapse the stereo image, and wash out surround sound cues. A hard-surfaced lounge room is an acoustic liability for any decent audio system.
The solution
The 24mm thickness is well-suited to home theatre treatment — cover first reflection points on side walls and the rear wall behind the sofa.
35–50% wall coverage
Classrooms & education
The problem
Reverberation in classrooms directly impacts speech intelligibility — students struggle to hear the teacher, especially those with hearing loss or learning English as a second language.
The solution
Panels on the rear wall and upper portions of side walls reduce reverberation time and measurably improve speech clarity from any seat in the room.
30–45% wall coverage
Healthcare & wellness
The problem
Hospital corridors, waiting rooms and consultation spaces often have hard, easy-clean surfaces that amplify stress and make private conversation difficult.
The solution
Apply to waiting room walls and consultation space ceilings. Acoustic calm reduces patient anxiety and supports HIPAA-compliant speech privacy.
20–40% wall coverage
Specifications
Three installation methods, three performance levels
How you install Echopanel 24mm 2 dramatically affects its acoustic performance. Direct fix is simplest and cheapest — a 20–50mm air gap behind the panel can nearly double its sound absorption, particularly at lower frequencies.
A 20mm air gap is the standard professional installation for commercial projects. For critical listening spaces like home theatres or recording studios, a 50mm gap delivers maximum performance.
Professional installation
Footprint Creative offer professional installation across Perth metro. For interstate projects, we supply install guides and support your contractor directly.
Direct fix (glued)
The panel is adhered directly to the wall surface with a compatible construction adhesive. The simplest installation method — ideal for budget-conscious projects or where the wall can't be built out.
Effort
Low effort • Fastest install
Performance
Baseline acoustic performance. Best for high-frequency absorption.
20mm air gap (recommended)
The panel is mounted on battens or a shallow frame, leaving a 20mm cavity behind. This air gap becomes part of the acoustic system, resonating with and absorbing lower frequencies the panel alone can't fully catch.
Effort
Medium effort • Standard professional install
Performance
Significant performance boost. The industry-standard approach for commercial acoustic treatment.
50mm air gap
Mounted on a deeper frame with a 50mm cavity behind. Maximum acoustic performance — the recommended installation method for projects where acoustic quality is a priority (home theatres, studios, critical listening spaces).
Effort
Higher effort • Best for premium installations
Performance
Maximum absorption across all frequencies including low-end. Recommended for studios and critical listening spaces.
Sustainability
Our acoustic panels are manufactured with a commitment to environmental responsibility. Made from recycled PET plastic bottles, every panel diverts waste from landfill while delivering superior acoustic performance.

Recyclable
100% recyclable at end of life
Built to last a decade
Echopanel 24mm 2 is engineered for commercial-grade longevity. With minimal care, the panel maintains its appearance and acoustic performance for 10+ years. Here's how to get the most out of your installation.
Regular cleaning
Vacuum with a soft brush attachment every few months to remove dust and airborne particles. This maintains both appearance and acoustic performance over time.
Spot cleaning
For marks or light stains, blot with a damp microfibre cloth using water only. For stubborn marks, a mild pH-neutral detergent diluted in water is safe. Blot — don't rub — to avoid matting the surface texture.
Lifespan
EchoPanel® has a published 10-year product life expectancy with proper care. The colour-through construction means the panel won't look faded or damaged even if lightly scuffed.
Fire and safety
EchoPanel® is independently tested and certified to AS 1530.3, AS ISO 9705 Group 1, and international fire standards including ASTM E84 and EN 13501-1. Safe for use in commercial and public spaces.
End-of-life recycling
100% PET construction means the panel is fully recyclable at end of life. A take-back program is available for commercial quantities — contact us for details.
