Soundproof a CXO Cabin

How to Soundproof a CXO Cabin Next to an Open-Plan Floor

Last Updated on November 6, 2026 by unidus A corner cabin with glass walls looks private. It rarely sounds private. The moment a CXO’s cabin sits against an open-plan floor, every call, every tough conversation and every closed-door strategy session competes with the floor’s ambient noise, and some of it travels straight through. Cabin partitions are usually specified for visual separation and status, not acoustic separation, which is standard practice across commercial fit-outs and only

Acoustic Ceiling Tiles in an Office

Upgrading Acoustic Ceiling Tiles in an Office That Can’t Shut Down

Last Updated on November 5, 2026 by unidus The ceiling is usually the last thing anyone blames for a noisy office, right up until someone measures it. Old mineral fibre tiles sag, lose their acoustic backing over years, and were often specified at handover for budget and ceiling height rather than for sound performance, which is common practice across commercial fit-outs. The problem shows up later as echo in meeting rooms, poor speech clarity on

Fire Rated Acoustic Panels

Fire-Rated Acoustic Panels for Commercial Buildings in India

Last Updated on November 2, 2026 by unidus Ask about fire-rated acoustic panels on a commercial project and the answer usually arrives within the first five minutes, before anyone has opened the test report. Someone asks if the panels are fire-rated, someone says yes, and the spec moves on. But “fire-rated” isn’t one thing. It covers several tests run to several standards, and the gap between what a client assumes and what a datasheet certifies

Acoustic Treatment for Hotels & Banquet Halls

Acoustic Treatment for Hotels, Banquet Halls and Restaurants in India

Last Updated on October 30, 2026 by unidus Acoustic treatment for hotels works room by room. Lobbies, restaurants, banquet halls and meeting rooms each carry their own demands, and on most Indian projects the ceiling does the heavy lifting because the walls are given over to glass, stone and art. Polished marble, ceramic tile and glass reflect sound instead of absorbing it, so reflections pile up fast in a high-ceilinged lobby or banquet hall. Key

Recycled Polyester Acoustic Panels

What Recycled Polyester Acoustic Panels Deliver for Commercial Projects in India

Last Updated on October 22, 2026 by unidus Sustainability credentials are now a standard ask in commercial interiors briefs: LEED points, low-emission interiors, materials with a documented environmental story. Recycled polyester acoustic panels have moved into this gap, and for good reason. But the sustainability angle can overshadow the more practical question: do these panels perform well acoustically in the spaces you’re specifying them for? At Unidus Acoustics, it’s one of the most common questions

SGS and TUV Certified Acoustic Panels

Are SGS and TÜV Certified Acoustic Panels Worth Paying More For?

Last Updated on October 19, 2026 by unidus When someone asks whether SGS and TÜV certified acoustic panels are worth a higher price, the question underneath it is simpler: can you trust a manufacturer’s performance claims without independent verification? Unidus Acoustics, with 40+ years of expertise in acoustic solutions for commercial spaces across India, has supplied panels to projects at both ends of this decision. This article covers what these certifications test, where the risk

Customisation in Acoustic Wall Panels for Commercial Projects

What You Can and Cannot Customise in Acoustic Wall Panels for Commercial Projects in India

Last Updated on October 16, 2026 by unidus When architects specify custom acoustic wall panels for commercial projects in India, the question of what can be changed comes up early. Unidus Acoustics works through these conversations regularly, and the pattern is consistent: the ask is reasonable, but the assumptions behind it aren’t always accurate. Not all parts of an acoustic wall panel are equally flexible. Some changes are purely aesthetic and carry no performance consequence;

Match Acoustic Boards to Open Plan & Cabin Spaces

How to Match Acoustic Boards to Open-Plan and Cabin Spaces in Indian Offices

Last Updated on October 16, 2026 by unidus Open-plan areas and enclosed cabin offices are acoustically different problems. They sit on the same floor, often share a material palette, and both need acoustic treatment, but what works for one tends to underperform for the other. The post-handover feedback from these projects follows a consistent pattern: “the open area is still too noisy” from one team, “the meeting room sounds echo-y on video calls” from another.

Specifying Acoustic Ceiling Baffles

What to Check Before Specifying Acoustic Ceiling Baffles for Commercial Buildings in India

Last Updated on October 16, 2026 by unidus Acoustic ceiling baffles are now among the more commonly specified solutions in Indian commercial interiors, especially in projects with exposed structure where a full closed ceiling isn’t on the table. They work with the existing soffit rather than against it, and the MEP coordination overhead is far lighter than a flush system. Unidus Acoustics has 40+ years of commercial acoustic expertise in India, and the pattern we

PET Acoustic Panels a Sustainable Choice

PET Acoustic Panels: The Sustainable Choice for LEED and WELL Projects

Last Updated on September 29, 2026 by unidus When a project is chasing LEED® or WELL® certification, every material on the specification sheet gets a second look, and acoustic treatment is no exception. PET acoustic panels, made from recycled polyester fibre, are increasingly the answer architects reach for when a wall or ceiling needs to absorb sound without adding a material the sustainability consultant will flag later. At Unidus Acoustics, this recycled-polyester range sits at

Acoustic Wall Panels Cost in India

How Much Do Acoustic Wall Panels Cost in India?

Last Updated on September 25, 2026 by unidus If you’re budgeting for acoustic wall panels in India, you’ve probably noticed that no two quotes look alike. Ask three vendors to price the same wall area, and you’ll likely get three different numbers. That’s not vendors padding margins. Acoustic wall panel cost depends on variables most buyers never see broken down: the material core, the finish, the certification, and how the panels get installed. Unidus Acoustics

How Black and Dark-Toned Acoustic Panels Perform in Commercial Interiors

How Black and Dark-Toned Acoustic Panels Perform in Commercial Interiors

Last Updated on September 21, 2026 by unidus Architects and designers usually hesitate over acoustic panels at the colour stage, not the performance stage. Black and dark grey finishes look sharp in a boardroom or a CXO cabin, but there’s a common assumption that darker panels absorb sound differently, or come with more upkeep than lighter ones. Some of that holds up under scrutiny. Most of it depends on what the panel is made of,

Acoustic Panels for AV-Integrated Boardrooms

Specifying Acoustic Panels for AV-Integrated Boardrooms and Broadcast Studios

Last Updated on September 18, 2026 by unidus A boardroom with a video wall and three cameras behaves differently, acoustically, from one with a whiteboard and a phone. Add microphones and speakers, then a camera picking up every voice, and the acoustic tolerance drops. What passed as good enough in a regular meeting room shows up as echo on recordings or a camera frame with a visible acoustic tile nobody wanted there. This is where

How Long Do Acoustic Panels Actually Last

How Long Do Acoustic Panels Actually Last?

Last Updated on September 11, 2026 by unidus How Long Do Acoustic Panels Actually Last? This question comes up on almost every project once a client sees a quote. Fair enough. Nobody wants to approve a product that looks tired in three years, or pay for durability the space doesn’t need. At Unidus Acoustics, that’s the question we hear most often, and it deserves a straight answer.  Key Takeaways What Determines How Long an Acoustic

Fluted Acoustic Panels

Fluted Acoustic Panels: Where This Design Trend Fits in Commercial Interiors

Last Updated on September 8, 2026 by unidus Walk into a new office lobby or hospital reception build-out this year, and there’s a good chance you’ll see it. Vertical grooves running up a wall, catching light differently as you move past. Fluted panels have moved from residential feature walls into commercial submittals fast, and at Unidus Acoustics, we’re fielding more fluted panel briefs than we were a year back. A design trend and a specification

Acoustic Performance

What IGBC and Green Building Certifications Actually Require for Acoustic Performance

Last Updated on September 7, 2026 by unidus Ask most design teams what a green building certification checks for on acoustics, and the answer is usually vague: something about “acoustic comfort” or “noise control.” That vagueness is where submissions run into trouble. IGBC, and rating systems Indian projects increasingly pursue alongside it, like LEED, don’t ask a project to intend a quiet space. They ask for numbers: a noise criterion rating, a reverberation time calculation,
