Sports Hall Acoustics

What We Do

Sports halls are among the most challenging spaces for acoustics — high ceilings, hard floors, and reflective walls cause sound to bounce uncontrollably, making it difficult to hear instructions or enjoy multi-use activities. Excessive echo affects both safety and comfort, especially during PE lessons, assemblies, or performances.

At acousticpanels.co.uk, we design and install tailored acoustic solutions that transform noisy, reverberant sports halls into clear, balanced, and enjoyable spaces. From durable wall panels to suspended ceiling baffles, our treatments deliver measurable improvements in clarity, comfort, and performance.

At acousticpanels.co.uk, we provide a full-service approach — from analysis to installation — to ensure your sports hall performs acoustically as well as it looks.

Acoustic Design & Consultancy
We assess the shape, size, and materials of your hall to recommend the perfect balance of wall and ceiling treatments that control reverberation while maintaining a bright, open aesthetic.

3D Renders & Visualisations
We can create visual mock-ups to show how acoustic panels and rafts will look within your space, helping you gain approval from management or governors.

Reverberation Time (RT) Reports
We measure and model RT60 data to calculate before-and-after results, demonstrating clear compliance with Building Bulletin 93 (BB93) acoustic standards for schools and sports facilities.

Site Surveys
On-site assessments ensure safe and efficient installation, with all fixings suited to your structure, ceiling height, and lighting layout.

Product Manufacture
Our products are made using high-quality, sustainable materials such as recycled PET felt, glasswool, and melamine foam. All are durable, fire-rated, and available in colours to match your interior scheme.

Installation
Our experienced installation teams fit everything quickly, cleanly, and safely — even in high-level areas — with minimal disruption to your schedule.

From concept to completion, we deliver turnkey acoustic solutions that make your sports hall clearer, calmer, and more versatile.

Acoustic Wall Panels

Designed to absorb sound reflections at player level, our wall panels control echo and improve speech intelligibility.

• Recycled PET Panels – tough, impact-resistant, and ideal for sports environments.

• Fabric-Wrapped Glasswool Panels – high-performance acoustic absorption with a clean, professional finish.

• Melamine Foam Panels – lightweight, highly absorptive, and safe for high wall areas.
  Best suited for: side walls, rear walls, and balcony facings where sound reflections are strongest.

Ceiling Rafts & Baffles

Suspended panels are the most effective way to control sound in large, open sports halls.

• Installed above courts and activity zones, they absorb vertical sound reflections and reduce overall reverberation.

• Available in rectangular, wave, and batten-style designs — all colour-matched to your scheme.
  Best suited for: full-size halls, gymnasiums, and multipurpose activity spaces.

Acoustic Dividers & Screens

For partitioned or multi-use halls, our dividers create separate acoustic zones, helping maintain focus during simultaneous activities.

• Hanging PET Dividers – lightweight, decorative, and functional.

• Freestanding Panels – mobile partitions for flexible layouts.
