12" AeroFoil Acoustic Foam Tile Pack
The Advanced Acoustics AeroFoil 12" is a 68mm open-cell polyurethane acoustic foam tile in a precision CNC-cut aerofoil profile, measuring 305 × 305mm. The tile achieves NRC 0.75, providing effective broadband absorption across the mid and high frequency range. Each pack contains 12 tiles, covering 1.11m² (12ft²) of wall or ceiling surface. At 68mm, the AeroFoil is the deepest tile in the standard Advanced Acoustics 12" range — greater in depth than the 65mm Slider and the 57mm Cube — placing it in the upper tier of the collection for low-mid frequency absorption. The aerofoil profile takes its name from the aerodynamic wing cross-section it references: a swept, curved geometry that is visually distinct from the angular wedge, pyramid, and geometric profiles in the range. Available in Mid Grey and Dark Grey. Manufactured in the UK.
Applications
Recording studios and home studios — upper-tier treatment.
For studios requiring effective broadband absorption across the mid and high frequency range, the AeroFoil 12" at NRC 0.75 and 68mm depth provides strong performance across the frequencies most responsible for flutter echo, reverberation, and tonal colouration. The additional depth relative to thinner profiles improves absorption in the lower-mid frequency range, addressing the acoustic problems that standard 40mm tiles handle less effectively. Install on the primary reflection points — side walls, rear wall, and ceiling. Use the Coverage Calculator tab to determine the number of packs required.
Vocal booths and isolation rooms.
The 68mm depth of the AeroFoil provides effective absorption across the full vocal frequency range, reducing the coloration introduced by room reflections and producing a cleaner vocal capture. The additional foam depth relative to thinner profiles helps control the low-frequency build-up common in small enclosed spaces, where standard 40mm tiles often leave low-mid reverberation uncorrected.
Home studios and podcast recording spaces — depth and aesthetic.
For home studio and podcast environments where both performance and visual result are a consideration, the AeroFoil 12" offers an NRC 0.75 result with a distinctive swept profile that stands apart from the standard wedge and pyramid formats. The curved aerofoil geometry produces a fluid, dynamic wall surface that suits studio environments where a less conventional aesthetic is preferred alongside mid-upper acoustic performance.
Product Benefits
NRC 0.75 — effective broadband absorption at 68mm depth.
The 68mm aerofoil foam core achieves NRC 0.75, providing effective absorption across the mid and high frequency range. The 68mm depth is the greatest in the standard Advanced Acoustics 12" range, delivering stronger low-mid frequency absorption than the 57mm Cube (NRC 0.75) and the 65mm Slider (NRC 0.85) at shallower depths. Per-frequency absorption data is not available for this profile; for products with full frequency breakdowns, refer to the Slider 12", Tegular 12", or Baby HexaTile 12". For Class B broadband performance, the Tegular 12" (NRC 0.95) or Baby HexaTile 12" (NRC 0.95) are the appropriate alternatives.
AeroFoil profile — swept geometry, CNC cut for consistent dimensions.
The aerofoil profile references the aerodynamic wing cross-section of the same name: a swept, curved geometry that differs from the angular cuts of wedge, pyramid, and cube profiles. Each tile is CNC cut to consistent dimensions across the pack, ensuring accurate alignment during installation. The curved surface produces a fluid, dynamic wall pattern that is one of the most visually distinctive profiles in the Advanced Acoustics 12" range.
Specification and compliance.
30kg/m³ foam density. Crib 5 and Schedule 1, Part 1 of the Furnishings and Furniture (Fire)(Safety) Regulations 1988 (amended 1989). 12 tiles per pack, 1.11m² (12ft²) coverage. Mid Grey and Dark Grey. Manufactured in the UK and shipped uncompressed.
Installation
Plan the tile layout before beginning installation. Sketch the intended pattern on paper and mark the layout on the wall or ceiling surface using pencil, masking tape, or a laser level. Distribute tiles evenly across the treatment area rather than concentrating them in a single large cluster; even distribution provides more consistent absorption coverage across the room.
Apply Advanced Acoustics Contact Adhesive to both the back of the tile and the mounting surface. Apply a band of adhesive around the perimeter of the tile and 50–75% coverage of the remaining surface area; repeat the equivalent coverage on the wall. Allow the adhesive to become touch-dry before bringing the surfaces together — contact adhesive bonds on contact, so position the tile carefully before pressing it to the wall. Avoid overspray onto the tile face or surrounding wall surface; use masking tape on the wall to protect adjacent areas. If adhesive webbing contacts the tile face, allow it to dry fully before attempting to remove it — in most cases it can be peeled away cleanly once dry. The adhesive is solvent-based. Ensure adequate ventilation throughout the installation — keep doors and windows open.
For a temporary or demountable installation, mount tiles onto 6mm MDF or plywood sheet to create panels, then hang the panels using D-rings and picture hooks. For ceiling-mounted panels, use four mirror plates per panel. This approach allows panels to be removed and repositioned without damage to the wall or ceiling surface.
