Where this system fits
Write down what happens on both sides of the wall and what needs to remain private. A meeting room beside a corridor has a different requirement from two rooms used for simultaneous calls.
Fixed Acoustic Partitions
Discuss speech privacy for meeting rooms, consultation spaces and offices with a wall, door and ceiling brief.
What to check on site
Review the tested assembly, partition-to-ceiling junction, seals, doors and service penetrations. Request a clear description of measured system performance and any site testing included.
What to send for pricing
Share room uses, neighbouring activities and drawings of ceiling and services. Include an acoustic report or performance specification from your consultant if available.
Find the paths that carry speech between rooms
- Identify the source and receiving room. Speech from a confidential meeting can pass under a door or through linked return-air paths, outlets and the ceiling void. Note the intended use of both rooms before comparing assemblies.
- If a bidder gives a laboratory rating, request the test evidence and check the actual site junctions, door seals and service openings against the tested scope. For a recording room or sensitive office, agree with your designer how the completed room will be assessed.

Common question
Will adding acoustic panels stop speech going through a wall?
Surface absorbers help reduce echo inside a room. Speech isolation also depends on the wall assembly and connections, including the door, ceiling and ducts. Describe the issue before choosing the treatment.
