Fabric Wrapped Acoustic Panels

Fabric wrapped acoustic panels are specially designed wall, ceiling, or cloud panels that reduce unwanted noise by absorbing sound waves. Each panel consists of an acoustic core, typically made of high-density fiberglass, which is then wrapped in an acoustically transparent fabric. The fabric not only enhances the appearance of the panel but also allows sound to pass through to the absorptive core inside, where it's dampened and diffused.

At DDS, fiberglass is the preferred core material due to its high performance across a broad range of frequencies. However, we also offer alternative fill options projects with specific performance or environmental requirements. These panels are widely used in spaces that require sound clarity and a professional finish — from recording studios and offices to auditoriums, healthcare settings, and educational facilities.

The Benefits of Fabric Wrapped Acoustic Panels

One of the greatest advantages of fabric wrapped panels is their superior acoustic performance. Our fiberglass core panels achieve high NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) ratings, meaning they effectively absorb a significant amount of ambient noise. This leads to quieter, more comfortable environments where speech is easier to understand, distractions are reduced, and sound quality is noticeably improved.

In addition to performance, design flexibility is another standout feature. Fabric wrapped panels are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes. From standard rectangles to custom geometric designs, and from small accent pieces to full wall coverings, the options are virtually endless. This flexibility allows designers and architects to incorporate acoustic treatments into their overall design vision without compromising style. The fabric finish can be matched to any aesthetic, with options ranging from subtle and neutral to bold and colorful. With hundreds of colors, patterns, and textures available, it’s easy to find the perfect look for any space.

Installation

Installation is also straightforward and adaptable. These panels can be mounted directly to walls or ceilings using a variety of hardware solutions, including clips and adhesives. For spaces with limited wall surface or architectural constraints, panels can be suspended from ceilings as clouds or mounted vertically as baffles. This makes them ideal for large, open areas where sound control is critical but installation space is limited.

Durability

Durability is another key benefit. The fiberglass core is long-lasting, resistant to moisture and sagging, and will maintain its shape and performance for years. The fabric coverings are chosen not only for their acoustic transparency but also for their strength and resilience. Many of our fabric options are stain-resistant, fade-resistant, and easy to maintain — features that are especially important in high-traffic or multi-use environments.

For clients looking to make a visual statement or reinforce their brand identity, we also offer custom-printed fabric wrapped panels. These allow you to incorporate logos, images, or artwork directly onto the panel surface. It's a powerful way to combine functionality with personalization, making your acoustic treatment part of your brand story or interior design.
