Where should you place acoustic panels for maximum effect?

Acoustic panels work best in places where sound reflects. Think of large, bare walls opposite windows or hard floors. By placing PET felt panels at these reflection points, you can immediately reduce reverberation and echo.

Should acoustic panels be installed on the wall or ceiling?

Both work.
• On the wall: ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and offices.
• On the ceiling: effective in high-ceilinged rooms, open-plan kitchens, or office floors.

PET felt panels are lightweight and therefore suitable for both walls and ceilings.

Where should you place acoustic panels in the living room?


In the living room, it is best to place acoustic panels:
• Behind the bench
• On the wall opposite the TV
• In a sitting area with many hard surfaces

This improves intelligibility without making the interior look cluttered.

Where should you place acoustic panels in an office or home workspace?


Place panels:
• Behind the desk
• On the wall next to or behind the screen
• In meeting rooms at ear level

This reduces voice reflection and provides greater focus and tranquility.

How high should you hang acoustic panels?

For the best effect, place acoustic panels at ear level (approximately 90–150 cm). When mounting on the ceiling, a central position is most effective.
