Acoustics for meeting rooms

Meeting rooms where you can hear each other.

Glass walls, a big table, a screen on the wall: the average meeting room is a sound box. Acoustic felt takes the echo out. That matters more than ever, because half the meeting now runs through a microphone.

Up to 85%of the sound that hits the felt is absorbed

The problem

Why the meeting room echoes so much.

Meeting rooms are small, and in a small room sound bounces back and forth quickly between glass, table and wall. Six voices in twenty square metres soon sound like twelve.

Hybrid meetings make it worse. What you can still follow in the room turns into a blur in the microphone: people joining remotely hear every reflection and tune out. A better camera won't fix that. A softer room will.

Solid 9 mm PET-felt absorbs sound across its full surface. One well-placed wall plus some absorption above the table already makes a big difference in a small room.

20–25%of the floor area covered in wall or ceiling surface is the rule of thumb. In a small room that is only a few panels.

The solutions

Three ways to make meetings easy to follow.

The wall behind the screen

One wall from floor to ceiling, opposite or next to the camera: the biggest effect per square metre.

Absorption above the table

Hanging panels or ceiling tiles right above the table catch the sound where it starts. Ideal with glass walls.

Screens & custom work

Freestanding screens and custom-cut shapes, in 28 colours or with your logo, to match your brand.

Frequently asked questions

Meeting room acoustics: what you want to know.

How many panels does a meeting room need?

Rule of thumb: cover 20 to 25% of the floor area in wall or ceiling surface. For a 20 m² room that is 4 to 5 m² of felt, often one wall plus some absorption above the table. Send the dimensions and we will work it out.

Does this really help with video calls?

Yes, you can hear it. A microphone picks up every reflection and so amplifies the echo; less reverb in the room means a clearer signal straight away for anyone joining remotely.

Our meeting room has glass walls. Can anything be done?

Yes. You can't cover glass, and you don't need to: absorption above the table (hanging panels or ceiling tiles) and on the one solid wall catches the sound just as well.

How quickly can it be arranged?

Quote within 24 hours. Once approved, we cut the panels in our workshop in Hellevoetsluis and schedule installation outside office hours. A single meeting room is done in one visit.

Can we pay by invoice?

Yes. Business customers order on invoice and receive a quote within 24 hours.
