When you’re putting together a workspace, acoustics can easily slip down the priority list. But it’s one of those things people really notice—whether a room feels calm and comfortable or noisy and distracting often comes down to how sound behaves.

It’s the same story with the thicker 24mm panels. Put them flat on the wall, and you get an NRC of 0.65. Add a 100mm void behind, and you’re up to 0.90 (Class A). Add even more acoustic wadding, and you’re at 1.0 NRC.

Why does this work so well? Think of the void like a little trap for sound waves. When the panel is flush on the wall, it can only absorb so much. But with some space behind it, those sound waves get caught, lose energy, and don’t bounce back into the room as much. And if you fill that space with acoustic wadding, it’s like giving the sound even more places to disappear.

So, when you’re planning a space where good acoustics really matter—like a meeting room or open office—don’t just think about the panels themselves. Think about how they’re installed. Sometimes, a small gap behind the panel can make a big difference without needing a different product.
