Fabric-Wrapped Acoustic Panels Designed for Demanding Spaces.
Impact-resistant, fire-rated acoustic panels that withstand daily use in offices, schools, and public venues without compromising style.
Architectural Acoustic Panels (Fabric-Wrapped)
Fabric‑Wrapped Acoustic Panels offer an elegant acoustic solution, combining superior sound absorption with aesthetic flexibility. Each panel consists of a dense absorptive core, typically fiberglass, mineral wool, or acoustic foam, encased in acoustically transparent fabric for elegance that performs. These panels diminish echoes, enhance speech clarity, and transform your interior design.
It is important to note that acoustic panels are designed to absorb sound, not block it. While barriers such as noise walls or Mass Loaded Vinyl stop noise from passing between spaces, acoustic panels reduce the buildup of sound within a space itself.
By absorbing reflections off hard surfaces, panels shorten reverberation time, improve speech intelligibility, and create a more comfortable acoustic environment.

Key Benefits:
- Sound Absorption: High NRC values, especially with 2″ panels, effectively control mid-to-high-frequency reverberation
- Design Versatility: Available in countless fabrics, colors, textures, and shapes, from minimalist to statement-making
- Cultural Fit: Perfect for offices, studios, lobbies, conference rooms, classrooms, and creative spaces

Construction & Varieties
Fabric-Wrapped Acoustic Panels are carefully engineered to balance acoustic absorption, aesthetic design, and long-term durability. Each panel is constructed with a high-performance absorptive core, precision edges, and a designer fabric wrapping that’s both functional and beautiful.
Core Materials:
- Fiberglass Core (Standard)
High-density glass fiber delivers excellent absorption across mid- and high-frequency ranges; lightweight yet durable. - Mineral Wool Core
Superior acoustic control with sustainable, eco-friendly composition; ideal for LEED and green building projects. - Composite or Barrier-Backed Cores
Add sound blocking capability to absorption, useful for wall partitions or when isolating adjacent spaces. - Impact-Resistant Cores
Designed for gyms, schools, or high-traffic areas where durability is critical.

Panel Thickness & Performance
- 1″ Panels
Cost-effective absorption, NRC ratings typically in the 0.70–0.85 range. - 2″ Panels
Enhanced absorption with NRC values up to 1.10, ideal for spaces with significant reverberation. - Specialty Thicknesses (3–4″)
Custom builds for low-frequency control in performance environments such as studios or theaters.

Why Memtech Acoustics
While many providers offer basic fabric panels, Memtech brings an acoustical engineering advantage:
- Comprehensive Site Acoustic Assessments
We use Sound Level Meters (SLMs) and advanced modeling software to evaluate your space. This ensures the recommended panel system targets the most problematic frequencies and delivers measurable results. - Application Expertise
As acoustic consultants, we advise on optimal coverage, frequency tuning, panel placement, and balance between absorption and diffusion. - Full Installation & Commissioning
Our team handles every detail, from design to project management to final fit and finish. We verify post-installation performance with follow-up acoustic testing to confirm target results have been achieved. - Proven ROI
Clients typically see 20–50% reduction in reverberation time (RT60) after acoustic treatment, as well as improved speech transmission index (STI) scores for better communication. - Compliance & Safety
All panels meet Class A fire ratings and can support sustainable building certifications.
When you choose Memtech, you’re partnering with a team committed to delivering performance you can see, hear, and measure.
