Acoustic Panel Guide — NRC Ratings & Material Selection
Expert guidance for architects and contractors — from NRC performance to selecting the right materials for your project.
Selecting the right acoustic panel involves understanding NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient), fire safety ratings, and material properties. Wood slat panels combine natural aesthetics with sound absorption (NRC 0.75–0.95), while PET polyester panels offer 100% recyclability and custom density options (1.8–3.5 kg/m²). Wonear® provides free technical consultation to help you specify the correct product for your application.
