In the ever-evolving world of interior design, acoustics play a critical role in shaping how we experience spaces, whether we’re working, dining, or simply relaxing. Enter acoustic panels and baffles: innovative solutions that blend sound control with beautiful design.


At Grant Ceilings & Interiors, we’ve seen firsthand how these elements can transform a room, not just in how it looks, but how it feels. Let’s explore the power of acoustic design and how panels and baffles are helping to create more comfortable, stylish, and productive environments.

🎧 What Are Acoustic Panels and Baffles?


Acoustic panels and baffles are designed to absorb, diffuse, or redirect sound waves. By controlling reverberation and reducing noise, they improve clarity, comfort, and focus in interior spaces.

They can be mounted on walls, ceilings, or suspended as rafts or clouds. Available in a wide range of shapes, colours, and finishes, they offer the perfect balance of form and function.


🔊 The Benefits of Sound Control


1. Enhanced Acoustic Comfort

Whether in a busy open-plan office, a lively restaurant, or a private study, acoustic panels and baffles reduce echoes, dampen ambient noise, and improve clarity, making spaces more enjoyable and productive.


🎨 2. Aesthetic Integration

Gone are the days of clunky grey soundboards. Today’s acoustic solutions are sleek, colourful, and customisable. Designed to complement or even elevate interior decor.


🔁 3. Versatility in Application

Acoustic panels and baffles can be fixed, freestanding, or suspended. They suit both new builds, fitouts and retrofits, and work well in settings such as:

  • Offices & meeting rooms

  • Schools & lecture theatres

  • Restaurants & cafés

  • Home cinemas & studios


🌱 4. Sustainability & Well-being

Many systems use recycled or recyclable materials, contributing to environmentally responsible design while promoting comfort and well-being.
