Meeting & group room acoustics: Make every word count
Ideas take shape when people talk. From team meetings and online calls to pupils working together on a project, meeting and group rooms make space for discussion and collaboration.
Explore acoustic wall panels and ceiling rafts that help reduce reverberation, bringing sound absorption into the room without losing sight of its design.
Focus on the conversation
Sharing an idea, asking a question or working through a task together starts with hearing one another clearly. Around a meeting table or in a school group room, the space should support the conversation.
When voices reflect between hard surfaces, lingering sound can make speech harder to follow. Acoustic wall panels and ceiling rafts help reduce reverberation, creating a more comfortable setting for discussion.
Bring sound absorption into an existing room or consider it from the start, alongside the layout, furniture and everyday activities.
Bring clearer sound to online meetings
The sound of a meeting room reaches beyond the people sitting in it. During online and hybrid meetings, microphones can pick up reflected voices and background activity alongside the person speaking.
Acoustic wall panels and ceiling rafts help reduce reverberation in the room, supporting clearer speech for remote participants. Combined with suitable microphones, speakers and their placement, sound absorption forms part of a well-considered meeting setup.
Whether colleagues join from another office or pupils connect with people beyond the classroom, room acoustics deserve a place alongside the technology.
Give good acoustics a place at the table
Let acoustic solutions contribute to the character of your meeting or group room. Wall panels can blend into the background, introduce a contrasting colour or become a visual feature with digital print.
Ceiling rafts bring sound absorption overhead, keeping walls available for screens, whiteboards and teaching materials. Together, they offer different ways to combine acoustic function with the room’s design.

Frequently asked questions
-
Can acoustic panels improve the sound during online meetings?
Sound-absorbing panels help reduce reverberation in the room, which can make speech clearer when picked up by a microphone. They work alongside your meeting equipment rather than replacing it.
Microphone and speaker quality, placement and background noise also affect the experience for remote participants.
-
Will acoustic panels stop conversations being heard outside the room?
Sound absorption and sound insulation serve different purposes. Acoustic panels reduce reflections and reverberation inside a room; they do not in themselves prevent speech from passing through walls, doors or other openings.
If confidentiality is important, the room’s construction, doors and ventilation paths should also be assessed.
-
How much sound absorption does a meeting or group room need?
The amount depends on the room’s dimensions, surfaces, furnishings and existing acoustic treatment. A room used for video calls may also require attention to the position of microphones and speakers.
Product absorption data can inform the choice, while an acoustic assessment can establish the treatment needed for the room.
-
Can we add acoustic solutions to an existing meeting room?
Yes. Wall panels and ceiling rafts can be installed in existing rooms, subject to suitable fixing surfaces and the product’s installation requirements.
Consider available space alongside screens, whiteboards, lighting and ventilation when planning the placement.
-
Can acoustic panels match our interior or visual identity?
Yes. Standard finishes available online depend on the product. Special RAL colours are available by contacting us, and selected wall products also offer digital print.
This allows acoustic treatment to complement the interior or become a visual feature.
