Our Acoustical Board products are perfect in both residential or commercial applications - any space where reverberation or reflected noise is an issue. They can be used on walls or ceilings in either existing or retrofit applications or even new construction. They are perfect for large, open environments that have a high need for acoustical value. All are resilient, easy to cut and easy to install.
Applications
We offer multiple choices to meet your needs. Black Theater Board can reduce reverberation and light reflection in home theatres, media rooms, recording & broadcast studios, and more. Polyester Acoustical Boards offer great flexibility in acoustical applications and installations, working as a sound absorption product for wall ceiling and duct applications.
Sizing
All Acoustical Boards measure 48” x 96” and can be easily cut to size using a table saw or utility knife.

Decibel Examples
When trying to enclose a piece a machinery, most people will know they want it "quieter," but can't put into acoustical terms the end result (or decibel reduction) they want to achieve. With our audio examples, you can actually hear the decibel differences compared to static pink noise.
Pink Noise
An example of a randomized static pink noise. Pink noise uses deeper sounds and lower sound waves.
3 dB
Just perceptible. 3dB reduction has a 18% reduction in the perceived volume and yet is just barely perceptible to the human ear.
6 dB
Noticeable. 6dB reduction has a 34% reduction in the perceived volume and is very noticeable to the human ear.
10 dB
Double/Halving. 10dB reduction has a 50% reduction in the perceived volume and sounds half as loud to the human ear.
20 dB
Much more/less. 20dB reduction has a 75% reduction in the perceived volume and most noticeable to the human ear.
