Acoustic Privacy Panels

Acoustic Privacy Panel Features

Visual privacy, sound absorption and flexible space division

Block noise at work - Acoustic Panels are composed of dense Polyester fiberboard. They have a 0.85 Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC of 0.85)

Acoustic Panels are 100% polyester and composed of 50% recycled plastic bottles. They are also 100% recyclable

Tackable panels - pin and hang personal items like photos

Lightweight yet sturdy construction - panels are 0.6" (15mm) thick

Clamp requires a desktop between 0.6" - 1.75" thick

Focus More

The next great idea is just around the corner. Block interruptions and maintain focus with the addition of privacy inducing and sound dampening Acoustic Privacy Panels.

Acoustic panels have a 0.85 Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC), meaning that 85% of noise is absorbed by the acoustic panels, while only 15% reflects back into the room. They're 100% polyester and composed of 50% recycled plastic bottles, plus they're 100% recyclable.

Add multiple panels throughout a commercial office environment for even greater sound absorption and fewer distractions. Boost the team's productivity and improve sound quality during calls.

Optional Enclosed Screen

Fill the gaps between the panels by adding corner inserts to create a 3-sided enclosed screen. Some customers prefer the openness that the gap provides, this is a personal preference. The corner inserts improve the overall effectiveness of the panels by increasing sound absorption and providing additional privacy and space ownership. They are precision laser cut for a perfect fit.

Don't worry, if you already own UPLIFT Acoustic Panels, you can keep your existing panels and order the Corner Inserts separately. Select the options above to specify that you already own the back and two side panels and you will be offered the Corner Inserts.

Corner Inserts are compatible with the Panel Side Clamps, they are not compatible with Panel Holders that sit on top of the desk and do not clamp to the desktop. Panel Side Clamps are available for individual purchase if necessary.

Installation & Assembly

Acoustic Panel Hole Finder Tool
If implementing and installing numerous Acoustic Privacy Panels or Screens, the Acoustic Panel Hole Finder Tool is recommended to assist in the installation process.

Acoustic Privacy Panels (not completely enclosed) are compatible with any desktop size that meets the following:
Width and Depth: Desktop size must be greater than the size of the panel being attached.
Thickness: Clamp requires a desktop thickness of 0.6" - 1.75".

3-Sided Acoustic Screens are compatible with any desktop size that meets the following:
Width: 48", 60", 72", or 80" (plus or minus 0.25").
Depth: 30" or greater.
Thickness: Clamp requires a desktop thickness of 0.6" - 1.75".

Corner Inserts for 3-Sided Acoustic Screen:
The back side of the corner panels are scored to allow them to ship flat, yet form a 90° curve that connects to the back and side panels using clear connectors.
There is a square-shaped laser cutout at the bottom of the corner inserts to allow them to wrap the desktop tightly in a way that diminishes light and sound pass-through. The corner cutout is compatible with all UPLIFT desktop thicknesses and any brand desktop with a thickness between 0.6" - 1.75".

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this with other brands of desks?

Yes, Acoustic Panels are compatible with both UPLIFT and non-UPLIFT desks. Of course, we recommend you upgrade to an UPLIFT Desk!

How do Acoustic Privacy Panels work?

Acoustic Privacy Panels are constructed out of dense, high quality fiber board that was designed to dampen noise, essentially acting as a "sound sponge". Installing them on your desk absorbs nearby noises and improves privacy.

How much noise can the panels reduce?

The 0.85 NRC value, or Noise Reduction Coefficient, of Acoustic Privacy Panels means that 85% of the sound waves entering into the material will be captured, leaving 15% to reflect back.

Is installation easy?

Yes, just attach the included clamp brackets to the panel with a few screws, then clamp onto the edge of your desk. The clamp makes positioning the panels more precise and flexible when you want to allow for cords to your equipment or other accessories.

How do these increase privacy?

The Acoustic Privacy Panels create the same effect as a "miniature cubicle", a more secluded area with better space ownership, blocking distractions and helping you focus.

Help! My privacy panel came without mounting holes for the hardware!

The holes are there, but they may be hard to see because they're plugged. Look for four hexagon-shaped marks toward the bottom of the panel. These may be easier to see on one side of the panel. Once you find them, simply pop the plug out with your finger.

If implementing and installing numerous Acoustic Privacy Panels or Screens, the Acoustic Panel Hole Finder Tool is recommended to assist in the installation process.

What is the purpose of Acoustic Privacy Panels?

Flexible Office layouts were designed to foster collaboration between coworkers. It's also beneficial to minimize noisy distractions and have some space ownership without completely going back to cubicles. The Acoustic Privacy Panels are simple, flexible, reconfigurable, affordable, and productivity-boosting tools to help you work better.

Especially useful for utilizing the panels in a home office environment to block out unwanted sounds during video calls.

What desk shapes can I use these on?

Single Acoustic Panels can work on any desktop with a thickness between 0.6" and 1.75" to work with the clamping mechanism.

The 3-Sided Acoustic Privacy Screen is designed to be used with rectangular desktops.
Use on any desktop with a width of 48", 60", 72", or 80" (plus or minus 0.25").
Requires desktop depth of 30" or greater.
Clamp requires desktop thickness of 0.6" - 1.75" thick.
In some cases, these can be used on L-Shaped, 3-leg desks depending on the size of the main and return desktops and the look you are trying to achieve.

Are the corner inserts flexible or rigid?

The corners are flexible so they can ship flat. Grooves on the back side are designed to allow the panel to curve fit around desktop corners. A rectangular cutout near the bottom of each panel corner allows the acoustic corner to wrap tightly around the desktop corner while still being compatible with desktop thicknesses of 0.6" to 1.75".
