What Do Acoustic Panels Do?
Acoustic panels serve as broadband absorbers, reducing the energy of sound waves as they reflect off hard, structural surfaces like walls and ceilings. This reflection of sound causes unwanted echoes, reverb, and other audible effects like comb-filtering, where certain frequencies sound louder or softer than they should. In recording studios, home theaters, and conference rooms, managing these reflections is key to achieving a cleaner and more satisfying listening experience.
For environments like living rooms, open spaces, and auditoriums, acoustic wall panels can make a significant difference in how sound behaves. Not only do they help create a better listening experience, but they also contribute to the décor of your space, blending seamlessly with other design elements.

High-Quality, Eco-Friendly Materials
At GIK Acoustics, we know that the quality of materials directly affects both performance and sustainability. That’s why all our acoustic panels are crafted using the best materials available, ensuring that your space benefits from the highest level of sound absorption while maintaining an eco-friendly footprint.
Acoustic Fabrics
We offer a variety of fabric options, including premium selections from Guilford of Maine, a brand known for its durable, aesthetically pleasing textiles. These fabrics ensure that our panels not only perform well but also look great in any space, from home theaters to commercial studios and conference rooms.
Eco-Friendly
Core Materials
Our panels are built with sustainable materials such as rockwool, which provide excellent sound absorption and are both recyclable and safe for indoor use. These core materials help control sound without sacrificing environmental responsibility.
Class A Fire Rated
Safety is critical, especially in commercial applications. All of our panels are fire rated and meet Class A standards, making them suitable for auditoriums, restaurants, commercial spaces, and any environment where fire safety is a concern.
Why Acoustic Panels Matter in Different Spaces
Acoustic needs vary based on the type of space, and GIK Acoustics offers a wide variety of solutions to meet those needs.
Here’s how our products can improve the sound in different environments:
Recording Studios
Achieving crystal-clear sound in a recording studio requires precise sound control. All studios benefit from a good bass trapping strategy, where we use thicker bass traps to manage low-frequency issues. These broadband panels also handle mid-to-high frequencies, helping eliminate unwanted reverb and reflections. This way we ensure monitoring always remains clean and balanced. Proper use of diffusers can also maintain a natural ambiance in the room without overly dampening the sound. In spaces designed for music production, high-quality acoustic treatment is essential for professionals aiming to produce the best recordings as efficiently as possible, without fighting their room every step of the way

Home Theaters
For an immersive experience in your home theater, acoustic control is just as important as the visual elements. Acoustic treatments can sometimes help contain some sound within the room, but they always reduce reflections and enhance clarity, dialogue intelligibility, and bass impact & accuracy, making movie watching more enjoyable. Proper placement of acoustic panels and bass traps ensures that sound remains rich and immersive, with no distracting echoes or dead spots. With a good acoustic treatment strategy you can create a theater experience that rivals or exceeds professional cinemas.

Conference Rooms
Voice clarity and intelligibility in a conference room is crucial for effective communication, focus, and productivity. Acoustic panels reduce echoes and help to improve all of these during meetings, especially in rooms with hard surfaces that reflect more sound. Attendees don’t have to work so hard just to understand what is being said, reducing fatigue and boosting focus. With our custom printed Art Panels panels, you can also add an individual touch in the form of an artwork or company logo to your meeting space while ensuring that sound clarity is top-notch.

Houses of Worship
In houses of worship, large open spaces and reflective surfaces can cause excessive reverberation, making it challenging for congregations to hear sermons, music, and prayers clearly. Acoustic panels help manage sound reflections, ensuring voices and instruments carry naturally without harsh echoes. By reducing unwanted sound reflections, GIK Acoustics solutions create a more welcoming, comfortable environment for worship, fostering better connection and clarity in services and gatherings.

Open Spaces
Large, open-concept spaces and rooms with hard surfaces are notorious for poor acoustics. Without proper acoustic treatment, the sound is too reverberant, making it difficult to have clear conversations or enjoy music. Acoustic panels, baffles, and diffusers can significantly improve the sound aesthetic in spaces like living rooms, auditoriums, open-plan offices, or houses of worship, making them less fatiguing places to spend time. Whether you’re watching TV, hosting an event, or simply trying to reduce noise in a busy workspace, GIK Acoustics panels make all these activities much more pleasant.

Hi-Fi Listening Rooms
For audiophiles, the listening experience is everything, and the listening environment is a big part of the listening experience. In hi-fi listening rooms, it’s important to reproduce the subtle nuances contained in the music accurately, without fundamentally changing the sound of the recording. Using bass traps for low frequencies and diffusers or sound-absorbing panels for higher frequencies can create the perfect listening environment with balance, clarity, and impact, without making the room too dead. A good treatment strategy ensures that no details are lost, allowing you to fully appreciate the depth and richness of high-quality sound systems and maximize your listening experience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What Are Acoustic Panels Made Of?
Our acoustic panels are crafted from premium materials such as fiberglass, rockwool, and other eco-friendly cores. The panels are wrapped in high-quality acoustic fabrics, including options from Guilford of Maine, ensuring both superior performance and aesthetic appeal.
How Many Acoustic Panels Do I Need?
The number of panels you’ll need depends on the size and layout of your room, as well as the level of sound control required. For example, a home studio may need a combination of bass traps and acoustic wall panels, while a conference room might require fewer panels but more focus on speech clarity. Our team offers Free Acoustic Advice to help you determine the ideal solution for your space.
What’s the Difference Between Soundproofing and Acoustic Treatment?
While there has historically been some fluidity between these terms, in general soundproofing refers to blocking sound from entering or leaving a room, while acoustic treatment focuses on improving sound within the space. There is no such thing as a soundproofing panel, as preventing noise from escaping or intruding usually requires construction work. While acoustic panels can sometimes muffle sound to some degree under some conditions, their intended function is to improve sound quality inside the room.
How Are Acoustic Panels Installed?
Our broadband acoustic panels are designed for easy installation. We even have many freestanding production options if you’d rather avoid installation at all, common in rental spaces. Even when we do install the panels, the basic idea is it’s like hanging a picture frame. Products like our 244 Bass Traps and 242 Acoustic Panels come with eyehooks and picture wire for simple hanging, while most other products come with sawtooth hangers. You can easily install them yourself without the need for professional assistance, though we are always here to provide guidance if needed.
Can Acoustic Panels Be Customized?
Yes, we offer custom sizes and shapes, including hexagon designs, for many of our products to match your room’s specific needs. We also provide a wide range of acoustic art panels that blend form and function, allowing you to integrate acoustic treatment into your room’s décor without compromising on aesthetics. We can also sometimes advise on custom design projects for onsite builds. Contact our design team if you are interested in any sort of custom work.
