Noisy, echoey offices make meetings harder, calls more stressful and workdays more tiring. Our UK-made office acoustic panels are designed to reduce echo, improve speech clarity and create a more comfortable, professional workspace. Whether you’re treating a single meeting room or a large open-plan office, Advanced Acoustics can supply standard and custom acoustic panels that look great and perform even better.

Why Offices Need Acoustic Panels
Open-plan offices, glass partitions and hard floors might look modern, but they’re terrible for acoustics. Sound bounces around, conversations overlap and important calls are drowned out by background noise. Acoustic panels absorb this excess sound energy, reducing reverberation and echo so speech is clearer and the space feels calmer.
In practical terms, that means:
- Better speech intelligibility in meeting rooms and boardrooms
- Less distraction on busy sales floors and call centres
- More privacy for confidential conversations
- A more professional impression for visitors and clients
If your office feels “loud” even when people aren’t shouting, or your meeting room sounds like an echo chamber, acoustic panels are almost always the most effective and cost-efficient solution.
Office Acoustic Panel Options
Every office is different, so we offer a range of acoustic panel options to suit your layout, design and budget. All our panels are manufactured in the UK, independently tested and compliant with UK fire regulations, making them ideal for commercial environments.
Wall-Mounted Acoustic Panels for Offices
Wall-mounted panels are the most common way to treat offices and meeting rooms. They’re installed on the walls at key reflection points to absorb sound and reduce echo.
Typical features:
- Popular size: 2ft x 4ft panels in a range of thicknesses
- High-performance acoustic cores with NRC values up to 1.0 and above
- Fabric-wrapped finishes in a wide choice of colours
- Suitable for meeting rooms, boardrooms, offices and corridors
These panels can be arranged in simple grids, feature walls or more creative patterns to complement your interior design.

Ceiling Acoustic Panels and Baffles
When wall space is limited or you have very high ceilings, ceiling panels and baffles are an excellent option. They absorb sound from above, helping to control reverberation in open-plan spaces.
Ideal for:
- Open-plan offices and co-working spaces
- Reception areas and atriums
- Call centres and busy sales floors
Ceiling panels can be suspended or fixed directly to the ceiling, depending on the look you want and the existing structure.

Custom Acoustic Panels for Office Projects
Because we manufacture in-house, we can produce acoustic panels in almost any size, shape or colour. That’s ideal if you’re working with an interior designer or fit-out contractor and need panels that match a specific design scheme or branding.
Custom options include:
- Bespoke sizes to fit specific wall or ceiling areas
- Custom fabric colours and finishes
- Branded or printed acoustic panels (subject to specification)
There’s no minimum order quantity for custom office panels, so you can tailor the solution to each space without over-ordering.

How Many Acoustic Panels Does Your Office Need?
Getting the right number of panels is key to good results. Too few and you won’t notice much difference; too many and the room can feel unnaturally “dead”.
As a general guide:
- Small meeting rooms (4–6 people): Often need panels covering 15–25% of the wall surface, usually one or two walls.
- Medium meeting rooms (6–10 people): Typically need more coverage – around 20–30% of wall surface, often a combination of wall and ceiling panels.
- Open-plan offices: Work best with a combination of wall panels, ceiling panels/baffles and sometimes screens, distributed across the space.
Every office is different, so we always recommend you contact us with room dimensions, photos and a brief description of your noise issues. We’ll advise on:
- How many panels you need
- Where to position them for best effect
- Whether wall, ceiling or a combination is most suitable
