These beautiful and super sleek sound absorbing wall panels add a stylish yet functional touch to any wall. According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal; 'Airy, Sleek—And Really Loud: Popular Open Floor Plans Can Amplify Sound; New Design Elements Help Restore the Peace', there is a real need for functional yet beautiful sound absorbing wall panels, soundproofing materials and office sound absorbing solutions. Let's face it; the cubicle in the office is a thing of the past. Today's modern office layout includes an open space design were employees can share ideas. And the open floor plans of large loft spaces, modern homes and apartments demands a sound absorbing solution. Trendy open floor plans where rooms aren't separated by walls mean voices carry. Hard surfaces like granite countertops, ceramic tile and hardwood floors can also amplify sound.
An area rug, wall-to-wall carpeting or curtains can dampen the sound but can only do so much for those of us who have dogs or cats.
