Acoustic Fabric Wall Panels Installed for Documaster

Project Overview

In a bright, modern open-plan office, daily noise from keyboards and conversations began to create a problem. With sound bouncing off the bare walls, employees found it hard to concentrate and communicate clearly.

DECIBEL was contracted to manufacture, deliver, and install acoustic fabric wall panels - a targeted solution that would absorb the excess sound and restore balance to the space.

Why Acoustic Treatment Matters

Open offices are great for collaboration, but without proper sound control, they become echo chambers. Hard surfaces reflect sound, especially high-frequency noise like keyboard typing, mouse clicks, and overlapping voices.

This buildup of reverberation leads to distractions, fatigue, and a drop in productivity. Installing acoustic panels helps absorb that energy, making the space quieter, more comfortable, and easier to work in.

Challenge

The office had plenty of natural light and a clean, minimal design, but no soft finishes to absorb sound. Echo from keyboards and conversations was bouncing between walls, creating a sharp, distracting acoustic environment.

Scope of Work

• Fabrication of custom acoustic textile wall panels
• Selection of finish and color to match interior tones
• Full delivery and on-site installation

Solution

DECIBEL designed a solution using fabric-wrapped acoustic panels, installed strategically on the main reflective wall surfaces. The panels were chosen in tones that complemented the sunny, modern aesthetic of the office.

Their open-cell core structure efficiently absorbs mid- and high-frequency sound, particularly useful for speech and typing noise, improving overall acoustic clarity.

Result

After installation, the space felt quieter and more focused. Echo from typing and voices was significantly reduced, and employees reported a noticeable improvement in concentration and comfort. The panels blended seamlessly into the design.
