Acoustical Wall Finishes

Acoustic wall finishes are a variety of methods to create a wall finishing that works to help absorb or block sounds in a confined space. Acoustical walls can be constructed in many different materials and finishes.

Acoustic wall finishes are a variety of methods to create a wall finishing that works to help absorb or block sounds in a confined space. Acoustical walls can be constructed in many different materials and finishes. The ideal acoustical wall finishing are those without a face or finish material that interferes with the acoustical infill or substrate. Fabric covered panels used as a wall finishing are one way to maximize the acoustical absorption. The finish material is used to cover over the acoustical substrate. Mineral fiber board, or Micore, is a commonly used acoustical substrate. Finish materials often consist of fabric, wood or metal. Fabric can be wrapped around substrates to create what is referred to as a "pre-fabricated panel" if laid onto a wall, and require no modifications. Such fabrics are generally acoustically 'transparent, meaning that they do not impede a sound wave. Less
