Frequently Asked Questions

How do acoustic panels work?

Acoustic panels work by absorbing sound waves, reducing echo and reverberation in a space. They are made from sound-absorbing materials like fiberglass and wrapped in acoustically grade fabric. They trap sound energy, preventing it from bouncing off hard surfaces. This helps improve sound clarity and overall acoustics in a room.

What are the benefits of using acoustic panels?

Acoustic panels offer several benefits, including improved sound quality by reducing echo and reverberation. This leads to clearer speech and better audio in offices, home theaters, recording studios, etc. They also help create a more comfortable environment by reducing noise pollution and enhancing privacy. Additionally, acoustic panels can improve focus and productivity in workspaces, and their design can add aesthetic value to a room.

How many acoustic panels do I need?

It depends on room size, shape, and purpose. A small home office might only need 4–6 acoustic dampening panels, while a recording studio or large conference room may need full wall and ceiling coverage. Our team can recommend an exact number based on your space.

Where should I install acoustic panels?

The most common places to install acoustic panels are walls and ceilings. Acoustic panels should be installed in areas where sound reflections and noise buildup are most problematic: corners, behind sound sources, and most sound-reflective surfaces. Strategic placement in these spots helps enhance sound clarity, reduce distractions, and improve overall acoustics.

Can I install acoustic panels myself?

Yes, our acoustic panels can be installed using our installation instructions. Our panels are lightweight and come with different mounting options. Some, however, may require the help of a handyman to install. You can always reach out to us with any questions on installation or choosing the right mounting type (install hardware) for you.

Do I need a professional to install them?

Not necessarily. Our panels are designed for easy installation with clips, brackets, or adhesive. Most users can handle it themselves, but we're happy to guide you or recommend installers if needed.

Can I get door seals in custom colors or sizes?

Yes. We offer various finishes—chrome, bronze, black, white, gold—and can provide custom lengths to match your door dimensions. Perfect for both function and aesthetics.

Do you serve all areas of NYC?

Yes, we provide acoustic panels with inner frame services throughout all five boroughs of NYC. If you're searching for "acoustic panels near me" in any NYC neighborhood, we can help you find the perfect solution for your space.

What's the difference between acoustic and regular door seals?

Acoustic door seals are designed specifically to block sound. They use denser materials and tighter sealing profiles to reduce noise transmission. Regular seals may stop drafts, but typically don't offer the same level of sound isolation.

Do I need both perimeter seals and bottom door seals?

Yes, for maximum effectiveness. Sound, air, and dust can travel through any gap. A complete solution includes perimeter seals for the top and sides, plus a bottom seal or sweep to close the floor gap.

Can door seals be installed on existing doors?

Absolutely. Most of our door seals are designed for retrofit use and can be installed on existing wood, metal, or fiberglass doors with minimal tools. No need to replace the door.

Will door seals make my door harder to open or close?

Not if installed properly. High-quality seals are engineered to create a tight seal without excessive resistance. Automatic door bottoms seal only when the door is closed, avoiding drag during use.

Are your door seals suitable for exterior doors?

Yes. Our weather-resistant models are built to handle temperature changes, humidity, and frequent use. They're ideal for front doors, back entrances, or any exterior door that needs sound and draft protection.

How do I know which seal fits my door?

Measure the gap width at the top, sides, and bottom of the door. Then choose a seal type rated for that gap size. If you're unsure, reach out—our team can help you pick the right fit.

Do these door seals help with energy efficiency?

Yes. By blocking air leaks, they help maintain stable indoor temperatures, reduce HVAC load, and lower heating and cooling costs. It's a simple upgrade with long-term savings.

Do you serve all areas of NYC?

Yes, we provide door seal installation and consultation services throughout all five boroughs of NYC. If you're searching for "door seals near me" in any NYC neighborhood, we can help you find the perfect solution for your space.

Can I request custom sizes or shapes?

Absolutely. We offer made-to-order panels in custom dimensions, shapes, frame types, and even printed designs. Just contact our team with your specs.

Are the panels fire-rated?

Yes. All our panels are Class A fire-rated, meeting safety requirements for commercial and public spaces.

Can these panels be installed on the ceiling?

Yes. All framed panels can be mounted on ceilings using appropriate hardware. We recommend 2" thickness for ceiling installs to maximize echo reduction without adding too much visual weight.

What thickness should I choose for my panels?

1" panels work well for speech-focused spaces like offices and meeting rooms. 2" panels are better for larger rooms or those with more echo and lower-frequency content. 3" and 4" panels are recommended for studios and music-heavy environments, where full-range absorption is needed.

Yes, we provide acoustic panel services throughout all five boroughs of NYC. If you're searching for "acoustic panels near me" in any NYC neighborhood, we can help you find the perfect solution for your space.

What are NRC ratings and why do they matter?

NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) rates how much sound a material absorbs. A higher NRC means better performance. Our acoustic sound deadening panels are tested and rated so you can choose the best option for your needs.

Do acoustic panels help with neighbor noise?

Not directly. If noise from neighbors is coming through your walls, you'll need soundproofing panels or barrier materials like mass-loaded vinyl or Green Glue. However, acoustic panels will still help reduce noise inside your room and improve comfort.

Are acoustic panels easy to install?

Most of our acoustic isolation panels are DIY-friendly. Many come with hardware or adhesive options and detailed guides. Lightweight materials make wall or ceiling mounting simple — no special tools required.

Do acoustic panels come in different designs?

Yes. From wooden acoustic panels to fabric-wrapped acoustic sound-absorbing panels, there are many design-forward options that match modern, classic, or minimalist interiors. You don't have to sacrifice style to get great acoustics.

Where should I place acoustic panels for the best results?

Panel placement depends on your room layout and sound issues. For sound-absorbing panels in your home, start with walls opposite speakers, first reflection points, or large flat surfaces. Ceiling panels help in rooms with high echo. We offer consultation to guide your layout.

Are acoustic panels the same as soundproof panels?

Not exactly. Acoustic panels absorb sound within a room, while soundproof panels block sound from entering or leaving a space. Many people combine acoustic soundproof panels and structural soundproofing materials for complete sound control.

What do acoustic panels do?

Acoustic panels absorb sound waves to reduce room echo, background noise, and reverberation. They improve overall sound clarity and create a more pleasant acoustic environment. They're especially effective in offices, home theaters, and studios.
