Most classrooms fill with excessive noise levels because of the hard reflective surfaces on perimeter walls, ceilings and floors. As echoes carry, background noise blurs original sound signals from the teacher, producing a poor learning environment for the students. Grades collapse, teachers get stressed out. The remedy is actually fairly simple. By introducing sound panels into the room, the echoes will collapse and restore clarity to original sound. This makes for a healthy learning environment, grades improve, teachers stress levels subside.
The sound panels best suited for a classroom are as mentioned below.
First, a fabric wrapped acoustic panel available in different sizes just like a bulletin board. Teachers can anchor these down low on a wall, students can pin their school projects to them. The panels are thick, durable, portable, class A fire rated and are available in different colors.
Second, a Ceiling Cloud panel that can mechanically “float” from the ceiling between flush mounted lights. Clouds are not continuous, they evenly space around a room’s ceiling to help absorb the excessive noise.
Finally, a Picture Panel which is a wall mounted sound panel that can include any kind of artwork on it. Images, graphics, logos, school colors and more can be custom painted onto the panels for showing school pride.
