PET Acoustic Panel is a decorative acoustic absorption panel designed to reduce echo, reverberation and sound reflections inside a room. Made from polyester fibre, PET panels are lightweight, durable and suitable for wall and ceiling acoustic treatment in homes, offices, studios, classrooms, meeting rooms, hospitality spaces and commercial interiors.
This variable product is available in two thicknesses:
PET acoustic panels are used to improve the sound quality inside a room. They help absorb reflected sound from hard surfaces such as plasterboard walls, glass, concrete, timber floors and exposed ceilings.
They are commonly used to make rooms feel quieter, clearer and more comfortable by reducing echo and reverberation.
PET panels are made from dense polyester fibres. When sound waves hit the panel, some of the sound energy enters the fibre structure and is absorbed rather than bouncing straight back into the room.
This helps reduce harsh reflections and makes speech, music and general room sound clearer.
PET Acoustic Panels are designed for acoustic treatment, not structural soundproofing.
They can help reduce:
They are not designed to stop noise passing through walls, floors or ceilings. If you need to block sound transfer between rooms, you will usually need a separate soundproofing system with mass, isolation and airtight sealing.
The 12mm PET Acoustic Panel is a slimmer option for general acoustic treatment, decorative feature walls and spaces where a low-profile finish is required.
The 24mm PET Acoustic Panel provides a deeper panel build-up and is better suited to projects where stronger acoustic absorption, greater rigidity or a more substantial visual finish is preferred.
The right option depends on the room size, wall or ceiling layout, acoustic issue, budget and design preference.
PET Acoustic Panels can be used in a wide range of internal spaces, including:
PET panels are a practical acoustic treatment option because they are lightweight, easy to handle and visually clean. They can be installed as full sheets, cut panels, feature wall sections, ceiling panels or decorative acoustic layouts.
They are often chosen where a room needs acoustic improvement without installing a full suspended acoustic ceiling or bulky fabric-wrapped panel system.
PET Acoustic Panels improve the acoustics inside a room, but they do not soundproof the room from outside noise. They should be used for reverberation control, echo reduction and room acoustic comfort.
For best results, consider the room size, ceiling height, amount of hard surface, number of people using the space and where sound reflections are strongest.
If you are unsure whether to choose 12mm or 24mm, please contact our team before ordering. We can help advise on the most suitable acoustic treatment layout for your space.

PET Acoustic Panels can be used in:
PET Acoustic Panels are designed to absorb sound within a room. They are most effective for reducing reflected sound and improving acoustic comfort in spaces with hard surfaces.
They help with speech clarity and room comfort but do not stop sound transferring through the structure of a building.
The 12mm PET Acoustic Panel is a slim acoustic treatment panel suitable for areas where a lower-profile finish is required.
It is commonly used for:
The 24mm PET Acoustic Panel provides a thicker acoustic treatment option. It is useful where improved absorption, additional depth or a more substantial visual finish is required.
It is commonly used for:
PET Acoustic Panels are acoustic treatment panels. They are not designed to replace wall, floor or ceiling soundproofing systems.
The final acoustic result will depend on the number of panels installed, panel thickness, room size, mounting position, hard surface area, furniture, ceiling height and overall acoustic design.
For projects requiring specific reverberation targets, fire classification or compliance-led performance, confirm the product data sheet and seek project-specific acoustic advice before ordering.
Store panels flat, clean, dry and protected before installation. Avoid impact damage to corners, edges and visible faces.
Keep panels away from moisture, dust and site contamination. Handle with clean hands or gloves, especially where coloured or light-finish panels are being installed.
PET Acoustic Panels can be installed to walls, ceilings or custom frames depending on the project design. They are typically fixed using suitable adhesive, mechanical fixings, suspended systems or specialist mounting methods.
Always check the substrate, fixing method and panel layout before starting installation.
Plan the panel layout before fixing anything. Consider where sound reflections are strongest and where the panels will have the best acoustic and visual effect.
For wall installations, panels are often placed around speaking areas, desk zones, meeting tables, seating areas or hard reflective surfaces.
For ceiling installations, panels are often positioned above desks, meeting tables, reception zones or noisy activity areas.
Make sure the wall or ceiling surface is suitable for the chosen fixing method.
The surface should be:
Do not install onto damp, crumbling, greasy or unstable surfaces.
Mark out the panel positions before installing.
Check:
Use a laser level for straight rows and larger layouts.
If panels need to be cut, measure carefully and mark the cut line clearly.
Use a sharp blade, straight edge or suitable saw depending on the thickness and finish. The 12mm panel is generally easier to cut by hand, while the 24mm panel may require a more robust cutting method.
Cut slowly and keep the panel supported to avoid rough edges or unwanted movement.
Before applying adhesive or fixings, hold each panel in place and check the fit.
Confirm:
Make any adjustments before permanent fixing.
Install the panels using the chosen fixing method.
For adhesive fixing, apply a suitable adhesive to the back of the panel or substrate according to the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions.
For mechanical fixing, use suitable fixings for the substrate and panel thickness. Fixings should hold the panel securely without damaging the face.
For ceiling installations, use a fixing method designed for overhead use. Do not rely on unsuitable adhesive or weak substrates.
Press or secure the panel into position.
Make sure the panel is:
If using adhesive, support the panel until the adhesive has developed enough grab strength.
Continue installing the remaining panels according to the planned layout.
Keep spacing consistent and check alignment as you work. Small errors can become more visible across a full feature wall or ceiling layout.
For patterned or coloured layouts, check the design before each panel is fixed.
Check all exposed edges, corners and cut-outs.
Depending on the design, edges may be left visible, but they should be clean and neat. Around sockets, switches or services, make sure cut-outs are tidy and do not interfere with the function of the fitting.
Do not cover ventilation grilles, fire alarms, sprinklers or access panels unless the design has been approved.
Once installed, remove dust or marks using a clean, dry cloth.
Avoid soaking the panel or using harsh chemicals unless approved by the supplier. For coloured panels, test any cleaning method in an inconspicuous area first.
The 12mm panel is suitable for slimmer wall and ceiling layouts. It is useful where you want acoustic improvement without adding too much depth to the surface.
It is commonly installed as wall panels, desk-area treatment, small meeting room treatment and decorative acoustic features.
The 24mm panel is thicker and can provide a more substantial acoustic treatment. It is useful for larger spaces, noisier rooms and design features where a deeper panel profile is preferred.
Take extra care when cutting and fixing the 24mm option because the increased thickness may require stronger fixings or a more suitable adhesive method.
PET Acoustic Panels reduce echo and reverberation within the room they are installed in. They do not stop noise passing through walls, ceilings or floors.
For best acoustic results, use enough panel coverage for the room size and place panels where sound reflections are most problematic. In larger or more reflective spaces, combine PET panels with other acoustic treatments such as ceiling rafts, soft furnishings, carpets or additional wall panels.
