"Acoustic wall tiles" gets searched more often than it gets sold as a literal product. At Unidus Acoustics, we see the term used for modular, tile-format acoustic wall panels, not for a ceramic or stone tile category. That mix-up is worth clearing up before you compare products. This guide is...
When Noise Barrier Panels Make Sense for Indoor Commercial Spaces
Architects and facility teams often reach for "noise barrier panels" when what they actually need is acoustic absorption, or the other way round. At Unidus Acoustics, this mix-up is one of the most common specification questions we get, mainly because the two products solve completely different problems. This guide breaks...
Specifying Soundproof Insulation Boards for Commercial Walls and Ceilings
"Soundproof insulation board" gets used for two different jobs on the market, and that overlap is usually what turns into a call to site months after handover. The term covers absorbing sound inside a room and blocking it from reaching the next one, and a specification built on the wrong...
Sprayed Acoustic Ceilings in Commercial Buildings: Applications and Limitations
Sprayed acoustic ceilings get specified when the design brief won't tolerate visible grid lines, panel edges, or any interruption overhead. The finish looks like plaster. The acoustic function comes from the porous structure of the applied material. For certain project types, that combination is exactly what's needed. The question is...
Where Hexagonal Acoustic Panels Work Best in Commercial Design
Hexagonal acoustic panels tend to stand out in a project presentation. Designers respond to the geometry immediately, usually for good reason. But the real question is where these panels actually work best. The answer isn't as simple as "anywhere you want a feature wall." Coverage, spacing, thickness, and room conditions...
How to Use Noise-Proof Room Dividers in Open Plan Office Layouts
Open plan offices have a noise problem that most design teams underestimate at the brief stage. A global workplace survey found that seven in ten office workers experience regular disruption from conversations and ambient noise. A 2024 survey of 2,000 knowledge workers found that 63% actively struggle to concentrate because...
