Product Description
Sonex® Valueline Acoustic Foam offers an affordable yet effective means of sound control. The subtle surface pattern on these panels renders them inconspicuous in most settings, making them suitable for a variety of interior settings, including manufacturing facilities, churches, and classrooms. The unique surface pattern absorbs sound and should be used in applications that do not require a pattern match across adjoining pieces. Sonex® Valueline foam maintains a Class 1 fire rating that meets or exceeds most building codes, making it acceptable in virtually any environment where cost-effective acoustical control is needed.
Sonex® Valueline Acoustic Foam is available in numerous colors, including natural grey, natural white, and various HPC coatings. HPC Coatings cover the panel face and edges.

Installation Method
- These panels mount easily to any wall or ceiling surface with a water-based construction adhesive.
- For best results, install this product at the end of your construction project.
- Use clean gloves to prevent soiling material.
- Melamine foam is fragile, please handle with care.
- Do not install material of unacceptable quality.
PLEASE NOTE: Half of the panels per box have a positive pattern and half have a negative pattern, as the panels are meant to be installed alternating the patterns. Please layout your design and make necessary design changes prior to installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
HPC is a high-performance coating that is applied to acoustical melamine foam base. Our exclusive water based HPC formulation improves durability and protects the acoustical foam from dust and dirt, allowing the surface to be cleaned using a damp cloth. The HPC coating is especially appropriate for use high-traffic areas. HPC Premium extends the HPC coating further by offering a line of brilliant colors from which to choose.
- HPC Coating for Wall and Ceiling Panels:
- Coating is applied to the panel face and edges.
- HPC Coating for Hanging Baffles and Clouds:
- The coating will be applied to all exposed edges and sides.
- HPC Coating for Drop-In Ceiling Tiles:
- All necessary edges will be coated to provide a finished appearance.
Custom HPC colors are available. Popular paint brands may be combined with our exclusive HPC formulation to produce unique designs for any project.
