Product Description
Our Whisperwave® Ribbon Acoustic Foam allows you to create unique designs for direct mount wall and ceiling applications. Based on the same pattern as the Whisperwave® Ribbon Sound Baffle, this acoustical panel allows you to create remarkable architectural features while absorbing echo and sound.
Create a better sounding and visually captivating environment. Whisperwave® Ribbon Acoustic Foam Panels are available in natural melamine foam colors (natural white, natural grey) and HPC coated colors. These panels can easily be mounted to any wall or ceiling surface with a water-based construction adhesive.
Features
- Reduces echo and reverberation
- Improves speech intelligibility

Installation Method
- Easily mount these panels to any wall or ceiling surface with 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.
