Acoustic

Featuring the best acoustic solutions in Canada

From ceiling acoustic panels to acoustic baffles and acoustic finishes, ArchiPro has top-notch acoustic solutions from the most reliable suppliers in Canada. Some acoustic solutions we provide are highly aesthetic and intended to add to the decor of a space, whereas others are designed to be out of sight and out of mind. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to the problem of noise pollution, which is why ArchiPro offers a wide range of products to cut down the noise in busy spaces.

Types of acoustic solutions

Soundproofing acoustic solutions

Soundproofing products will inhibit or reduce the transmission of sound. These products, such as acoustic panels for walls, are usually made of some kind of insulation that is intended to stop sound from entering or leaving a space.

Sound-absorbing acoustic solutions

Sound absorbing products work to diminish noise within a space rather than between spaces. These products, such as acoustic ceilings or baffles, cut down on the echoing of noise internal to a space.

The advantages of high-quality acoustic solutions

Acoustic solutions don’t just minimise noise, they improve general sound quality in a space. By reducing the background murmur, conversations (and even music) become clearer and easier to hear. In general, any space with good acoustics will lead to a reduction of stress and a more pleasant environment for its inhabitants. In workplaces in Canada, quality acoustic solutions have been shown to greatly increase productivity, as concentration improves without excess noise in the background. Safety can also be increased due to a greater aural awareness of one’s surroundings.

How to choose the acoustic solutions that are right for you

Different forms of acoustic solutions have different benefits to consider. For example, acoustic baffles and wall panels often have aesthetic appeal on top of their acoustic purpose. Baffles in particular can be very trendy in modern workplaces. If you’re buying acoustic ceiling panels, you may want to weigh up the advantages of paying more for greater visual appeal. Acoustic ceiling panels come in a wide variety of designs, some of which are more aesthetic than others. Always check that installation of the acoustic solution you're looking at is possible in the space you’re outfitting.

Where should acoustic panels be placed in a room?

Ideally, acoustic panels should be placed in the areas that soundwaves tend to bounce off (or transmit through, if they’re coming from another space) before disturbing the people inside the space. Hotspots in residences and workplaces in Canada  include ceilings and mid-level walls.

How thick should my acoustic panels be?

Most suppliers in Canada offer a range of thicknesses for acoustic panels, starting at around 2.5cm thick and going up to about 7.5cm thick. Generally, the thicker the acoustic panel, the more it will cut down on noise, so a thicker panel may be necessary for particularly noisy areas.

Where do you put acoustic baffles?

Acoustic baffles are conventionally mounted to the ceiling, from which they hang vertically. This is because much of the echo within a room reverberates off the ceiling. The acoustic baffles muffle this echo where it would usually bounce back.
