Installation
In this section of the blog, we will cover some uses for acoustical materials, show some DIY (Do It Yourself) projects and completed projects to help guide you in their use and application.
Acoustical materials can be installed using a variety of methods dependent upon the type of material required and where it will be mounted. Every sound control application has its own set of parameters based on facility’s use or what local building codes require. Acoustical panels will typically be mounted direct to a wall or direct to a ceiling. However, they can be installed to create office partitions, free standing panels or other constructs based on the needs of the application. Hanging baffles and ceiling clouds are suspended from the ceiling and can be used in large or small spaces.
