Restaurant Acoustics

What We Do

Lively is great — loud isn’t. Hard surfaces, open kitchens, and tightly packed seating make sound bounce around the room, turning conversation into a wall of noise. That hurts guest comfort, staff communication, and even table-turn efficiency. At acousticpanels.co.uk, we design restaurant acoustic solutions that keep the buzz while taming the din — so every meal feels relaxed, premium, and on-brand.

At acousticpanels.co.uk, we don’t just supply panels — we deliver end-to-end results tailored to hospitality spaces.

Acoustic Design & Consultancy
We assess your floor plan, finishes, and seating density, then recommend a blend of wall, ceiling, and zoning treatments that keep the ambience alive without the echo.

3D Renders & Visualisations
See how rafts, baffles, and wall features will look above booths, banquettes, or the pass — perfect for stakeholder sign-off.

Reverberation Time (RT) Reports
We measure current reverberation (RT60), model improvements, and provide before/after results you can share with landlords, designers, or franchise ops.

Site Surveys
On-site checks of ceiling heights, services, sprinkler layouts, and lighting to ensure a clean install with no surprises.

Product Manufacture
Made to order in the UK with restaurant-friendly finishes: fabric-wrapped glasswool, recycled PET felt, and melamine foam options. Custom colours, shapes, prints, and branding available.

Installation
Fast, clean fit-outs that work around service hours. We handle wall fixing, ceiling suspension, and coordination with MEP and fire systems.

Together, these services mean you can trust us with the entire process — from acoustic assessment to fully installed, guest-ready results.

Restaurant Acoustic Solutions

Great sound makes great dining. Our restaurant acoustic solutions reduce echo, improve clarity, and create an atmosphere where conversation flows as easily as the food and wine. Every product is designed for hospitality — durable, easy to clean, and visually striking.

Acoustic Wall Panels
Perfect for dining rooms, booths, and private dining areas, our wall panels absorb mid- to high-frequency noise from speech, clatter, and background music. The result is a calmer, more enjoyable dining experience without losing the buzz.

Choose from:

• Recycled PET Felt Panels – durable, wipe-friendly, and available in dozens of colours and textures.

• Fabric-Wrapped Glasswool Panels – slim, high-performance options ideal for design-led interiors and compact spaces.

• Melamine Foam Panels – lightweight, highly absorbent, and perfect where rapid installation is key.

Panels can be finished in plain fabrics, custom prints (menus, branding, or artwork), or sculpted textures for feature walls that enhance both acoustics and design.
Best suited for: main dining spaces, bar back walls, corridors, private rooms, and lively corners.

Ceiling Rafts & Baffles
The most effective way to reduce echo in large or open-plan dining rooms. Suspended above tables or service routes, they absorb reflected sound from hard floors, glass, and ceilings — improving clarity while preserving ambience.

Design options include rectangular rafts, timber-look baffles, and geometric grids, all colour-matched to your interior and coordinated around lighting, sprinklers, and HVAC systems.
Best suited for: main dining halls, bar/servery zones, double-height spaces, and open-kitchen areas.

Acoustic Screens & Space Dividers
Create intimate zones, boost privacy, and manage noise between tables without the need for permanent partitions.

• Freestanding Partitions – flexible layouts for seasonal changes or private events.

• Hanging Dividers – patterned PET felt screens that add texture and acoustic softness.

• Desk & Host Screens – discreet solutions for reception desks or POS points that reduce chatter spill.
  Best suited for: between banquettes, around bar seating, near the pass, or forming semi-private dining niches.

Sustainability & Compliance
Our restaurant-ready acoustic products are built with sustainability and safety in mind:

• Recycled Content – high post-consumer PET content in felt panels.

• Low Weight, Low Waste – modular designs reduce transport emissions and site waste.

• Fire Performance – all products supplied with relevant building-class fire ratings.

• Durability – robust, wipe-clean finishes for high-traffic areas, with easy-replace components.

Where They Work Best

• Open-Kitchen Restaurants: ceiling rafts above the pass and PET wall panels opposite hard surfaces.

• Bustling Brasseries: patterned wall systems and batten-style baffles to keep the energy but cut the echo.

• Fine Dining Rooms: fabric-wrapped or printed panels integrated as art pieces.

• Bars & Lounges: hanging dividers to zone seating and soften glass and stone reverberation.
