Printed Acoustical Panels
Sound absorption meets stunning visual design
About Custom Printed Printed Acoustical Panels
Custom printed acoustical panels that reduce noise and echo while displaying your artwork, photography, or brand imagery. Class A fire rated with NRC ratings up to 0.85.
Custom printed acoustical panels combine professional-grade sound absorption with the visual impact of large-format custom printing. These panels solve two problems simultaneously: they reduce unwanted noise and echo in your space while serving as striking decorative elements that display your photography, artwork, or brand imagery.
The core of each panel consists of high-density acoustic fiberglass or recycled polyester fiber, providing exceptional sound absorption across a wide frequency range. Our panels achieve Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) ratings up to 0.85, meaning they absorb 85% of the sound energy that hits them—excellent performance for controlling echo, reducing noise transmission, and improving speech intelligibility.
The printed fabric facing is acoustically transparent, meaning sound passes through to the absorptive core without any reduction in acoustic performance. This allows you to enjoy both beautiful custom imagery and professional-level sound control without compromise.
Every panel is manufactured to order in our US facility, with sizes ranging from small 12" x 12" accent pieces to large 48" x 96" statement panels. Panels can be wall-mounted using Z-clips or French cleats for easy installation and removal, suspended from ceilings as clouds or baffles, or placed on freestanding frames for portable room division.
Key Benefits
Professional Sound Absorption
NRC ratings up to 0.85 effectively reduce echo, improve speech clarity, and create more comfortable acoustic environments in any space.
Print Doesn't Affect Performance
Acoustically transparent fabric means your custom print doesn't reduce sound absorption—get beautiful imagery AND professional acoustics.
Class A Fire Rated
ASTM E84 Class A fire rating meets commercial building codes for schools, offices, restaurants, and public spaces.
Multiple Mounting Options
Wall mount, ceiling suspend, or freestanding—install panels wherever you need sound control and visual impact.
Custom Sizes & Shapes
From standard rectangles to custom shapes, we manufacture panels to your exact specifications.
Eco-Friendly Options
Recycled polyester core options made from post-consumer plastic bottles. GREENGUARD Gold certified.
How It Works
Upload Your Image
Submit your artwork, photography, or logo through our design studio. We accept high-resolution JPG, PNG, TIFF, and vector formats.
Configure Your Panels
Specify panel sizes, quantities, core thickness (1" or 2"), and edge treatment. Our team can help with placement recommendations.
Review Your Proof
Receive a digital proof showing your image on each panel. Approve the proof before production begins.
Manufacturing
Panels are printed, assembled with acoustic cores, and quality inspected at our US facility.
Installation
Panels ship with mounting hardware. Most wall installations take 15-30 minutes per panel using included Z-clips.

Materials & Quality
Materials
Acoustic cores available in rigid fiberglass (highest performance) or recycled polyester fiber (eco-friendly option made from post-consumer plastic bottles). Both core materials are wrapped in acoustically transparent printed fabric that allows sound to pass through to the absorptive core.
Print Technology
Dye-sublimation printing infuses ink into the polyester fabric at the molecular level. The result is vibrant, durable imagery that won't crack, peel, or fade. Print resolution up to 1440 DPI captures fine details and smooth gradients.
Durability
Printed panels are designed for long-term installation. The dye-sublimated fabric resists fading and can be vacuumed with a brush attachment for routine cleaning. Avoid moisture and harsh chemicals. Panels can be removed and reinstalled using Z-clip mounting.
Warranty
5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects, acoustic performance, and print quality under normal indoor use.
The Science of Sound Absorption
Sound absorption occurs when sound waves enter a porous material and lose energy through friction as they pass through the material's fiber structure. The lost energy converts to tiny amounts of heat, effectively removing sound from the room. This is different from soundproofing, which blocks sound from passing between spaces.
Our acoustic panels excel at absorbing mid and high-frequency sounds—the range that includes most speech, music, and common noise sources. The NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) rating indicates the percentage of sound absorbed: our 0.85 NRC panels absorb 85% of incident sound energy. This dramatically reduces echo, improves speech intelligibility, and creates more comfortable acoustic environments.
For spaces with significant low-frequency issues (bass rumble, HVAC noise), we recommend 2" thick panels, which provide better absorption below 250 Hz. Corner placement also improves low-frequency performance by intercepting bass waves before they build up in room corners.

Frequently Asked Questions
Coverage depends on room size, current acoustic issues, and goals. For general improvement in offices and restaurants, covering 15-25% of wall surface area makes a significant difference. Recording studios and critical listening rooms may require 30-50% coverage. We offer free acoustic consultation to help calculate your needs.
