Inside Our Nottinghamshire Factory: The Making of Premium British Acoustic Panels
Shaun Snaith
At Advanced Acoustics, we believe transparency and quality go hand in hand. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we manufacture our industry-leading acoustic foam panels and soundproofing solutions right here in the UK.
1. The Facility
Our 14,000 sq ft factory in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, is the heart of our operation. Equipped with advanced foam-cutting machines, including CNC contour cutters, band knives, and slitters, we’re able to produce everything from standard tiles to fully bespoke solutions for studios, offices, and commercial projects.
2. The Process
Every product begins with high-density, open-cell foam sourced from trusted UK suppliers. Our skilled team uses precision machinery to cut, shape, and finish each panel according to exacting specifications. Manual quality checks are performed at every stage to ensure flawless results, whether it’s a single custom order or a large-scale commercial run.
3. Customisation & Flexibility
One of our biggest strengths as a UK manufacturer is flexibility. We can quickly adapt to unique requirements, different sizes, shapes, profiles, and even branding for other companies. Our average turnaround for custom orders is just 5–15 days, with large commercial projects typically completed within a week.
4. Sustainability Commitment
We’re committed to minimising waste and maximising sustainability. All foam offcuts are recycled or repurposed, and our packaging materials are fully recyclable. By keeping production local, we also cut down on transport emissions and support the UK supply chain.
5. Quality Assurance
Our products are independently tested for acoustic performance (NRC) and meet all relevant UK fire safety standards. This ensures our customers, whether Business-to-Business or Business-to-Consumer, receive reliable, high-performance solutions they can trust.
6. Serving the UK & Beyond
While we’re proud to serve clients across the UK, our reputation for quality has also led to international orders, particularly from Europe. But our focus remains on delivering the best possible products and service to all our customers.
