Overview
You invest in the right desks and workstations for your staff—to ensure they have the right tools to do the job in the right settings—but have you taken time to consider how sound plays a role in your office? Whether we like it or not, conversations, phone calls, and even typing sounds can all cause distractions. And all of these noises can draw an employee's attention away from important tasks and projects.
While you can't eliminate all extraneous sound in your workspace, you can do something about the general layer of focus-fracturing disruption. Bring down the noise level with a richly colored panel that embraces modern design while eschewing its coldness. The 3D Cubes Acoustic Wall Panel helps prevent excess noise from bouncing off the walls and buries the brouhaha in a warm, plum-colored elegance.
You may notice that the surface of this panel consists of multi-level cubes. This is not merely a decorative flourish to help jazz up a blank wall (though it does that nicely). These cube shapes extend from the wall like a block of horizontal skyscrapers in order to present more sound-capturing area to the room, the slight height differences exposing sides that would otherwise be hidden.
On top of that, this plum panel has earned an NRC rating of 0.80, which tells us that the panel absorbs 80% of all the sound that reaches it, taking noise down notches, from a cacophonous roar to a mentally-managable murmur.
A big part of the reason this panel is so effective is its material. The pressed polyester fiberboard used to build it consists of 50% recycled plastic bottles, making it both lightweight and environmentally friendly. And it's been tested according to ASTM E84-08 standards—with a Euro Class B fire rating, to boot.
With a roughly 2' x 2' footprint (at just over 3" thick) the 3D Cubes Acoustic Wall Panel is an excellent modular solution for noisy (or noise-sensitive) office spaces. Mount panels in a line, make a four-panel square, or get creative with your configurations. The panels can even work as an accent wall. Mount as many as you need throughout the office.
Installation is quick and easy—possibly easier than hanging a picture. Each panel comes with four mounting clips; add the adhesive mounting strips to your cart and you're ready to go. To expand your nail-free options, you can use hot glue (and other adhesives) or Velcro. Of course, nails are a perfectly acceptable installation method as well.
Can panels be trimmed (if using proper tools safely, of course)?
You are free to trim the panels. Using a box cutter (or any other type of long razor blade tool required depending on where on the panel you are cutting) along with a straight edge to guide the blade works well.
The 3D Cubes Acoustic Wall Panel is just one of our many approaches to noise reduction. Not only do we have several wall panel designs and colors to choose from, we also make hanging acoustic "clouds," frame- and desk-mounted treatments, and freestanding floor panels. With acoustic and privacy solutions for all sorts of work scenarios, you can put several of them together to create a comprehensive distraction-management system.
Once you set your office up for success by addressing the visual and acoustic needs of your employees, you may think about how you're using your existing space. Several of our solutions can be used to create meeting spaces or relaxation areas—or divide entire departments.

FAQ
We include four mounting clips with each panel. You can purchase our optional adhesive strips for a nail-free approach—or use other adhesives you may have available (such as hot glue). Velcro is also a good installation method for avoiding nails.
These panels will hang on nails, too, if you prefer to mount them like picture frames. It's all about what you prefer.
Because it's possible that a small seam between two panels could show a sliver of the wall behind them, you might consider painting that area of the wall a darker color. Again, this is a matter of preference.
The 3D Cubes Acoustic Wall Panel is 23.7" x 23.7" (and 3.13" deep). Each panel only weighs only 2 lb 6 oz because they're made from pressed polyester fiberboard.
This panel has an NRC (noise reduction coefficient) of 0.80, which indicates that it will absorb 80% of the sound energy that reaches it. Given that fact, as well as the increased surface area produced by the multi-level cube shapes, the panel can be quite effective at dampening any noise that hits it.
These panels are a modular solution, and measure roughly 2' by 2' square. We suggest testing out a few in locations that are especially loud or open.
We have tested this mounting application and do not recommend mounting the 3D Cubes Acoustic Wall Panel on the ceiling. The good news is that we do offer several hanging acoustic treatments—check out the 3D Acoustic Ceiling Waffle Cloud.
You are free to trim the panels. Using a box cutter (or any other type of long razor blade tool required depending on where on the panel you are cutting) along with a straight edge to guide the blade works well.
