2" SoundControl Ceiling Mounted Acoustic Panel 2ft by 4ft

2" SoundControl Ceiling Mounted Acoustic Panel 2ft × 4ft | 610 × 1220mm | NRC 1.00 | Class A

The Advanced Acoustics 2" SoundControl Ceiling Mounted Acoustic Panel is a fabric-wrapped acoustic panel designed to provide broadband sound absorption when fixed directly to the ceiling surface. The panel consists of a 50mm Class '0' open-cell acoustic foam core wrapped in an open-weave polyester fabric, mounted on a rigid backing board with mirror plate fixings for direct ceiling attachment. The 2" foam depth delivers significantly improved low-frequency absorption compared to the 1" panel, making it the appropriate ceiling specification where reverberation control is required across the full speech frequency range, including the 250Hz octave band.

The 2ft × 4ft (610 × 1220mm) format provides 0.74m² of absorption per panel — the largest format in the 2" SoundControl ceiling range. The 2" thickness achieves NRC 1.00 (Sound Absorption Class A) — the highest absorption class — providing effective broadband absorption from 250Hz upward. The large format maximises absorption per panel and per fixing point, making it the most efficient ceiling specification for achieving large coverage areas with Class A performance.

Applications

• Ceiling treatment requiring maximum broadband absorption per panel. The 2" 2ft × 4ft is the highest-performance, highest-coverage format in the SoundControl ceiling range. It is the appropriate specification where Class A broadband absorption is required and the ceiling layout can accommodate the larger panel dimension, minimising the total number of panels and fixing points needed.
• Open-plan offices — broadband reverberation control. In open-plan environments, the ceiling is a primary reflective surface. The 2" SoundControl provides strong absorption from 250Hz upward at the ceiling plane. The 2ft × 4ft format is suited to row arrangements along the length of larger open-plan spaces, providing maximum Class A coverage per row of panels.
• Meeting rooms and boardrooms. The 2ft × 4ft format is suited to larger meeting rooms and boardrooms where the ceiling area can accommodate the longer panel dimension. A small number of panels can provide the required Class A absorption coverage, reducing the total number of fixing points required.
• Spaces with limited wall area. Where wall surfaces are largely occupied by windows, glazed partitions, or other obstructions, ceiling treatment must carry a greater proportion of the total absorption load. The 2" 2ft × 4ft panel combines the highest NRC performance with the largest coverage area in the ceiling range, making it the most effective single-panel specification for spaces where ceiling treatment must compensate for limited wall coverage.
• Educational environments — classrooms and lecture spaces. The 2ft × 4ft format is suited to row arrangements across the ceiling of larger classrooms and lecture theatres, providing maximum Class A coverage per row and reducing the total number of panels and fixing points required.

Product Benefits

• NRC 1.00 — Class A broadband absorption. The 2" (50mm) foam core achieves NRC 1.00 (Sound Absorption Class A), with strong absorption across the full speech frequency range: 0.61 at 250Hz, 1.03 at 500Hz, 1.16 at 1000Hz, 1.11 at 2000Hz, and 1.10 at 4000Hz. The significantly improved low-frequency performance at 250Hz (0.61 vs 0.30 for the 1" panel) makes the 2" panel the appropriate specification where low-mid frequency reverberation control is required.
• Class '0' fire-rated foam core — compliant for commercial use. The acoustic foam core is Class '0' rated to BS 476 Parts 6 and 7, and C s1, d0 to EN 13501-1, meeting commercial fire safety requirements for ceiling-mounted acoustic treatment in offices, schools, and public buildings.
• Open-weave polyester fabric wrap — 31 colour options. The open-weave polyester fabric allows sound to pass through to the foam core without significant attenuation, maintaining the full NRC 1.00 performance across the entire colour range. Available in 31 colours — download the swatch card for the full range.
• Mirror plate ceiling fixing — supplied with hardware. Supplied with mirror plate fixing hardware for direct ceiling attachment. Mirror plate fixing provides a flush, secure ceiling mount suitable for permanent installations on solid ceiling structure or appropriate noggins.
• 2ft × 4ft format — maximum Class A coverage per panel. At 0.74m² per panel, the 2ft × 4ft is the largest format in the 2" SoundControl ceiling range, providing the greatest absorption coverage per fixing point and the most efficient specification for large ceiling areas requiring Class A performance.
• Handmade in the UK — consistent quality across every panel. All SoundControl panels are handmade in the Advanced Acoustics UK facility using consistent materials and construction methods, ensuring uniform acoustic performance and finish quality across every panel in an installation.

Please note: All SoundControl panels are made to order with a 2–3 week lead time.

Installation

Mark the fixing positions on the ceiling using the panel dimensions as a guide. Ensure fixing positions are located on solid ceiling structure or appropriate noggins — do not fix into plasterboard alone without appropriate cavity fixings. Check for concealed services (electrical cables, pipework) before drilling into the ceiling. Due to the panel size, two people are recommended for installation.

For mirror plate fixing: screw the mirror plate to the ceiling at the marked position using appropriate fixings for the ceiling construction, and attach the panel to the mirror plate. Check that the panel sits flush and level before finalising the fixing position.

For grid installations, use a chalk line or laser level to ensure consistent alignment and equal spacing between panels across the ceiling surface. Mark all fixing positions before installing any panels to ensure the grid is correctly laid out.
