Does the acoustic performance of felt acoustic panels have anything to do with their thickness?

As a manufacturer of 3D Acoustic Panels, we are often asked if the acoustic performance of 3D Acoustic Panels is related to their thickness. Today, we're going to take a closer look at this question to help you better understand how 3D Acoustic Panels perform in acoustic applications.

The thickness of a polyester fibre Acoustic Panel does have a significant impact on its acoustic performance. Here are some of the key effects of thickness on acoustic performance:

1. Enhanced sound insulation: Typically, an increase in the thickness of a PET Acoustic Panel enhances its sound insulation performance. Thicker 3D Acoustic Panels are more effective at absorbing and reducing low-frequency noises such as rumble and bass vibration, thus improving overall sound insulation.

2. Frequency response: Thicker polyester fibre acoustic panels are better at handling low-frequency noise, while thinner 3D Acoustic Panels are better at handling high-frequency noise. Choosing the right thickness can be a good way to target specific frequency bands.

3. Spatial adaptation: In certain spaces, such as conference rooms or concert halls, increasing the thickness of Pet Acoustic Panel can better control echoes and standing waves, optimising the clarity and naturalness of the sound. The choice of thickness should be based on specific acoustic needs and environmental conditions.

4. Installation and cost considerations: Although thickness has a direct impact on sound insulation, thicker PET Acoustic Panels may increase material costs and installation difficulties. In practical applications, the appropriate thickness needs to be selected by considering both performance needs and budget constraints.

Understanding the relationship between 3D Acoustic Panel thickness and acoustic performance can help you make more informed choices to meet the acoustic needs of different environments.
