Why Meeting Rooms Need Acoustic Treatment
Poor acoustics can make meetings difficult and fatiguing. When sound reflects from glass, plasterboard and hard furniture surfaces, conversations become less clear and background noise increases.
Acoustic treatment helps:
- Improve speech intelligibility
- Reduce echo and reverberation
- Support hybrid and video meetings
- Create more comfortable meeting environments
- Improve concentration and productivity
PET Acoustic Panels for Meeting Rooms
Meeting rooms are designed for communication, collaboration and decision-making. However, many modern meeting spaces contain hard surfaces such as glass walls, plasterboard ceilings, timber tables and polished floors that can create excessive reverberation and poor speech clarity.
Installing meeting room acoustic panels PET can significantly improve acoustic comfort by reducing reflected sound and controlling echo. Decrasound Acoustiscreen panels provide an attractive and practical solution for office designers seeking better acoustic performance while maintaining a contemporary interior aesthetic.
Manufactured from recycled PET material, Acoustiscreen panels are available in a wide range of colours, shapes and custom designs, making them suitable for boardrooms, conference rooms, collaboration spaces and executive meeting areas.
Meeting room acoustics are often part of a broader workplace acoustic strategy. Decrasound PET acoustic panels can also be used throughout open-plan offices, collaboration spaces and breakout areas to create more comfortable working environments.

Design Considerations for Meeting Room Acoustic Panels
Meeting room acoustic treatment should be planned around the size of the room, ceiling height, amount of glass, table size, wall finishes and how the space will be used.
A small enclosed meeting room may need wall panels to reduce flutter echo, while a larger conference room may require a combination of wall and ceiling treatment to manage reverberation more evenly.
For rooms used for video conferencing, acoustic treatment is particularly important. Reducing reflected sound helps microphones capture speech more clearly and reduces the hollow or harsh sound often heard in untreated rooms.
Research continues to show that workplace acoustics can influence concentration, communication and employee wellbeing. Guidance on workplace acoustic design can be found through organisations such as the Australian Acoustical Society.
