FAQs

What is acoustic wallcovering, and how does it work?

Acoustic wallcovering is a sound-absorbing material designed to be applied directly to walls to reduce reverberation and control noise within a room. Unlike traditional wallpaper or decorative panels, these wallcoverings are made from high-performance acoustic materials (typically polyester fibre) that help absorb mid-to-high frequency sound. At Floors Plus, we offer acoustic wallcovering solutions that not only improve acoustics but also add visual warmth and texture to your space.

Where are acoustic wallcoverings most commonly used?

Acoustic wallcoverings are ideal for a wide range of settings, including offices, meeting rooms, classrooms, community centres, and shared residential spaces. They're particularly useful in environments where conversations, presentations, or concentration are important. Our clients also use them to add colour and interest to long corridors or blank walls that would otherwise reflect noise.

Can acoustic wallcoverings be installed over existing surfaces?

Yes, in most cases acoustic wallcoverings can be installed over existing plasterboard, painted surfaces, or other flat wall types. The key is ensuring the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust. At Floors Plus, our team can advise whether your walls are suitable and recommend the best adhesive or installation method to ensure a seamless finish.

Are acoustic wallcoverings available in different colours and styles?

Absolutely. We install a wide range of colours, patterns, and textures to suit different interior styles - from bold feature walls to subtle, natural tones. Many of our products also offer pinnable or tackable surfaces, making them a practical solution for education or workspace environments. Our team can help you match the right acoustic product to your aesthetic goals.

Do acoustic wallcoverings require special maintenance?

Acoustic wallcoverings are generally low-maintenance. Most can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth or vacuumed with a brush attachment to remove dust and debris. They’re designed to be durable in busy environments, making them a long-term solution for sound control and visual appeal. Floors Plus will also provide care guidelines specific to the product you've selected.
