Nap Time Skies Acoustic Panel
From $179.00
Noisy rooms are hard rooms to learn in
A classroom with hard floors and bare walls bounces every chair scrape and every voice. Kids at the back struggle to hear, teachers end up raising their voices all day, and the noise builds on itself.
Acoustic panels soak up some of that bounce, so the room settles down and the teacher's voice carries without shouting.
Friendly designs
Our business panels for schools include softer colour blocks, chalkboard doodles, cork looks and dot grids. For daycares and kindergarten rooms, our Kids Art collection has animals, rainbows and storybook scenes kids love.
Where to put them
The back wall (the one the teacher faces) is the most useful spot, then the long side walls. Hang every panel securely and high enough that little hands can't pull at it.
Good places to start
If you're not sure where to begin, these are popular picks for this kind of space: Alphabet Blocks, Animal Friends, Chalkboard Doodles and Cork Board. Each one comes as a single panel or in packs of 4, 8 or 12, so you can do one wall or the whole room.
Questions people ask
Will acoustic panels soundproof the room?
No. Acoustic panels absorb sound inside the room, so there's less echo and it's easier to talk and hear. They won't stop noise going through walls, floors or doors to the space next door. That takes building work.
How many panels do I need?
It depends on the size of the room and how hard the surfaces are. A good start is a pack on the biggest bare walls, spread out rather than bunched in one spot. If it still sounds lively, add more on the facing walls. Tell us the room size and we're happy to help you guess.
Are the panels fire rated?
We're still confirming fire testing with our maker. If your building or inspector needs rated panels, contact us before you order and we'll tell you exactly what we can and can't promise.
