Acoustic Panelling
What are the best acoustic panels for a commercial space?
At Profurn, we understand that every space has unique acoustic requirements. When ceiling panels alone are not enough, our high-performance acoustic wall panels effectively absorb sound and reduce reverberation within the room. Hard wall, floor and ceiling surfaces can cause sound to reflect throughout a room, creating unwanted echo and noise that affects speech intelligibility and overall comfort.
Our acoustic wall panels are designed to absorb sound and reduce echo to create a quieter, more comfortable environment where speech and music are clear. Available in a wide range of colours, finishes and custom shapes, each panel can be tailored to complement your interior design while delivering exceptional acoustic performance.
Whether you're designing an office, education facility, theatre, auditorium, hospitality venue or commercial space, Profurn offers customised acoustic solutions to suit your project's unique requirements. Our experienced team can provide expert advice and work with your architect, acoustic engineer, designers or builders to recommend the most effective acoustic treatment, ensuring your space performs as beautifully as it looks.
Timber acoustic panels combine a premium architectural finish with acoustic absorption through engineered perforations or slots and acoustic backing materials. They are particularly suited to commercial environments where design aesthetics and acoustic performance are equally important.

Frequently asked questions
What are acoustic panels?
Acoustic panels are sound-absorbing wall or ceiling treatments made from materials like timber, foam, or fabric-wrapped board that reduce reverberation and improve speech clarity in a room. Profurn supplies acoustic panelling engineered for lecture theatres, performing arts centres, and commercial venues.
What is the NRC rating and why does it matter for acoustic panels?
The Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) rates how well a panel absorbs sound on a scale of 0 to 1 - a higher NRC means better sound absorption. Selecting the right NRC rating ensures acoustic panels perform correctly for a venue's specific size and use.
What is the difference between timber, foam, and fabric acoustic panels?
Timber acoustic panels offer a premium architectural finish with strong durability; foam panels are cost-effective and highly absorbent for smaller spaces; fabric-wrapped panels balance aesthetics with acoustic performance. Profurn offers all three panel types tailored to venue requirements.
Where can I buy acoustic panels in Australia?
Profurn supplies commercial-grade acoustic panelling across Australia and New Zealand, specialising in integrated sound-management solutions for lecture theatres and performing arts centres as part of broader seating and venue fit-out projects.
Are acoustic panels required for lecture theatres and performing arts venues?
While not always mandated, acoustic treatment is strongly recommended in lecture theatres and performing arts venues to improve speech intelligibility and reduce unwanted reverberation, especially in rooms with hard, reflective surfaces.
Do acoustic panels soundproof a room?
Acoustic wall panels are primarily designed to absorb sound and reduce reverberation within a space, with performance typically measured by NRC. When used in conjunction with suitable walls, flooring and ceilings, they form part of a complete acoustic solution that controls both how a room sounds and how much noise travels between spaces.
