Where should you place acoustic panels for maximum effect?

Acoustic panels work best in areas where sound reflects, such as large, bare walls opposite windows or hard floors. By installing PET felt panels in these reflective areas, you can immediately reduce reverberation and echoes.

Should acoustic panels be installed on the wall or the ceiling?

Both work.
• Wall-mounted: ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and offices.
• On the ceiling: effective in high-ceilinged rooms, open-concept kitchens, or office spaces.

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

Where should you place acoustic panels in the living room?


The best place to install acoustic panels is in the living room:
• Behind the bench
• On the wall opposite the TV
• In a seating area with many hard surfaces

This is how you improve sound clarity without making the interior look cluttered.

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


Install panels:
• Behind the desk
• On the wall next to or behind the screen
• At ear level in meeting rooms

This reduces voice reflection and creates a more focused and peaceful atmosphere.

How high should you hang acoustic panels?

For best results, install acoustic panels at ear level (approximately 90–150 cm). When mounting on the ceiling, a central position works best.
