Comparing acoustic product roles

Write down the noise problem before comparing acoustic products. Ask whether each proposed item is being selected for surface absorption, a partition assembly or another part of the room design, and request appropriate evidence.

Define the selection

Separate the intended room outcome from the product label. Ask which test, assembly or mounting information is relevant to the design, and have the room-specific arrangement checked by a suitably qualified adviser.

Check before comparing products

• Purpose of each proposed product.
• Relevant test and mounting information.
• Whole-room layout and untreated paths.

Build a material list that can be checked

Record the selected product name or SKU, each required size and the quantity for each work area. Use the actual listed coverage when estimating packs or boards, and confirm the allowance with your installer. Include compatible accessories and keep a copy of the agreed selections.
