What is the difference between PET Acoustic Panel and sound absorbing cotton?

In modern architecture and interior design, the choice of acoustic and sound absorbing materials is crucial. As a manufacturer of acoustic materials, we would like to explain in detail the difference between Acoustic Panels and acoustic wadding to help you better understand the unique characteristics and application scenarios of these two commonly used materials.

Although polyester fibre acoustic panels and acoustic wool are both functionally designed to improve acoustic environments, there are significant differences in their materials, properties and areas of application.

1. Material and structure:

   - PET Acoustic Panel: It is usually made of synthetic or natural fibres that are pressed together and have a uniform and dense structure. It tends to have a smoother surface and a thinner thickness, making it suitable for use where aesthetics of the space need to be maintained.

   - Acoustic Wool: Generally made from polyester fibres, mineral wool or other similar materials, it is looser in structure and thicker. Its surface is usually rougher, with higher sound-absorbing performance and stronger thermal insulation effect.

2. Performance:

   - polyester fibre Acoustic Panel: Due to its dense structure, Pet Acoustic Panel has a better absorption effect on high frequency noise, and is commonly used in office space, meeting rooms and other places where high frequency noise needs to be controlled.

   - Acoustic cotton: due to its greater thickness and loose structure, Acoustic cotton has better absorption of low and medium frequency noise, suitable for recording studios, concert halls and other environments with higher requirements for noise control.

3. Installation and Maintenance:

   - PET Acoustic Panel: Easy to install, usually can be directly attached to the wall or other surfaces. Maintenance is simple and usually requires only regular cleaning of the surface.

   - Acoustic Wool: Installation may require brackets or frames, and due to its loose structure, it may need to be inspected and replaced periodically to maintain good sound absorption.

By understanding the difference between 3D Acoustic Panel and Acoustic Wool, you can choose the most appropriate material to enhance the acoustic environment and comfort of your space according to your actual needs.
