Acoustic panels mounted securely and straight to reduce echo in your workspace. Positioned for maximum sound absorption and a professional finish.
Finally Fix That Echo Problem
Work from home and sound like you're calling from a cave? Acoustic panels are the answer. They absorb sound waves, reduce echo, and make you sound clearer on calls - without any structural work or permanent changes.
💡 Pro tip: Panels work best on the wall behind your desk (where sound reflects back at you) and on side walls if the room is particularly echoey.
Why Bother Having Them Fitted?
Because panels only work if they're properly mounted and positioned. Wonky panels stuck up with command strips look terrible and don't do the job properly.

What to Expect
Step 1: Position & Plan
We discuss where panels will work best based on your room layout and what you use the space for. I mark the positions carefully.
Step 2: Mount Securely
Using proper wall anchors (not sticky tape!), each panel goes up straight and level. I make sure the weight is properly supported.
Step 3: Check & Adjust
Final check that everything's aligned, spacing looks even, and you're happy with the coverage.
🔧 DIY Tips
Fancy mounting them yourself? Here's how to do it properly:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Electric drill and appropriate bits
- Spirit level
- Tape measure and pencil
- Wall anchors/rawl plugs suitable for your wall type
- Screwdriver or impact driver
📏 Planning the layout
- Start with the wall behind your desk - this is usually most effective
- Measure and mark the center point of each panel position
- Use a spirit level to ensure they're straight
- Space them evenly - measure the gaps, don't just eyeball it
🔩 Mounting process
- Check for pipes/cables with a detector before drilling
- Use proper wall anchors - plasterboard needs special cavity fixings
- For heavy panels (over 2kg), use two mounting points
- Test each panel is secure before letting go
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Using command strips for anything heavier than featherweight
- Not checking if panels are level before fixing permanently
- Drilling into plasterboard without proper anchors
- Random spacing that looks accidental rather than intentional
💡 Pro trick: If your walls are rough or uneven, use small foam spacers behind the panel to hold it slightly away from the wall - this actually improves sound absorption and hides wall imperfections.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Decorating or painting soon? Mount the panels after painting - they're surface-mounted so don't need working around.
Multiple rooms? If you're setting up panels in several rooms (office + recording space, for example), doing them together saves time and money.
Old house with solid walls? No problem - I bring proper masonry bits and fixings. Takes a bit longer to drill but the result is rock-solid.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are acoustic panels actually for?
They absorb sound waves to reduce echo and reverberation. Brilliant for home offices where you do video calls - your voice sounds clearer, less bouncy. Also great for recording studios, gaming setups, or any room that sounds too 'live' and echoey.
Can you mount them on plasterboard walls?
Yes - that's most of what I do. I use proper wall anchors rated for the weight, not just poking screws into the plasterboard. Panels stay put and won't come crashing down during an important Zoom call.
Do I need to buy the panels myself?
Either way works. Most people order them online (Amazon, dedicated acoustic suppliers) and I fit them. If you want advice on how many you need or where to position them for best effect, I'm happy to help.
How many panels does a typical office need?
Depends on the room size and what you're trying to achieve. A small home office might only need 4-6 panels on the wall behind your desk to stop your voice echoing back at you. I can advise when I see your space.
Will they be straight and evenly spaced?
That's the whole point of getting someone to fit them properly! I measure and mark before drilling anything, use a spirit level, and make sure the spacing looks deliberate. Much better than wonky DIY efforts.
