Home Theatre - Acoustic Foam

What is acoustic foam?

As you can guess from the name, acoustic foam or soundproof foam are foam tiles that assist in absorbing sound. The foam works due to the nature, shape and materials which are highly absorbent and constructed of many closely packed cells that help trap acoustic vibrations. The special ‘valley shape’ of the foam helps break apart the vibrations and prevent them from penetrating through the foam.

The benefits of acoustic foam panels

Nobody enjoys excessive noise, especially in a home theatre or your place of work. Foam panels today have become a popular method to control reverberation in enclosed spaces for offices, shops, libraries, homes, auditoriums and so much more. Whether you install acoustic foam panels on just two walls or all four, you’re going to notice a significant difference. Here are just some of the advantages:

It improves the quality of acoustics

Foam panels undoubtedly improve the quality of acoustics in the room. Panels absorb unwanted noise, making the sounds you want to hear clearer. It’s particularly useful in performance venues or restaurants where you don’t want to have to strain to hear someone over surrounding noise.

Reduces stress

Did you know that putting up a few foam panels can bring down the levels of stress in the room? Background noise and straining to hear specific sounds can lead to people becoming frustrated. With soundproof foam, it can enable someone to clearly hear what’s going and help people relax.

Therefore, soundproof panels are particularly useful in offices and libraries allowing people to buckle down and concentrate.
