Acoustic Panels for Schools and Classrooms
Acoustic Panels for Schools and Classrooms
Classroom acoustics directly affect speech intelligibility, learning outcomes, and teacher vocal strain. Our acoustic panels meet ANSI S12.60 reverberation targets for educational spaces. Built in Lombard, IL with NRC up to 1.0 and a lifetime guarantee.

Why Schools and classrooms use ASP
- ANSI S12.60 reverberation targets achievable in standard classrooms with our panel layouts
- PET felt option (100% post-consumer recycled polyester) for districts with VOC or fiberglass restrictions
- Class A documentation available for state code review and capital project approval
- Custom printed panels can include school colors, mascots, or educational graphics
- Z-clip and impaling-clip mounting installs in minutes per panel by facilities staff
Typical projects
- Standard classrooms (24x32 and 30x32) with hard floors and gypsum walls
- Elementary and middle school music rooms
- Multi-purpose rooms used for assembly, lunch, and PE
- Gymnasiums and field houses (typically pair our 4-inch panels with bass traps)
- STEM and maker labs with hard surfaces and exposed-duct ceilings

Frequently asked questions
Do your panels meet ANSI S12.60 for classrooms?
Yes. ANSI S12.60 sets a maximum reverberation time of 0.6 seconds for unoccupied classrooms under 10,000 cubic feet. Our standard 2-inch panels at 10% surface coverage typically bring rooms into compliance. We will model your specific room as part of the free analysis.
Are panels safe in classrooms with younger students?
Yes when installed properly. Standard panels are fabric-wrapped fiberglass core, similar to ceiling tiles. The fabric stays intact under normal classroom use. For districts that prefer non-fiberglass options, we offer 100% post-consumer recycled PET felt panels with no formaldehyde.
Can we get school colors or graphics on the panels?
Yes. Custom printed acoustic panels carry artwork, school logos, mascots, or educational content. The print process uses acoustically transparent fabric so panels still absorb at full rated NRC.
Do you supply documentation for state/district approval?
Class A documentation per ASTM E84 is available for approved panel assemblies. We can also supply NRC test reports per ASTM C423, fiber-content data sheets, and material safety data sheets.
What is the lead time for back-to-school deadlines?
In-stock panels ship in 5 business days. Custom panels ship in 2-3 weeks; custom-printed panels in 3-4 weeks after proof approval. Plan 6-8 weeks ahead for a comfortable buffer.
