Print Precision & Acoustic Performance

HOW IT WORKS

Using dye‑sublimation technology, we custom print your images or artwork on acoustically transparent fabric, then use that fabric in our standard acoustic panel manufacturing process to combine high‑fidelity matte finish prints with class-A sound absorption.

ORDERING PROCESS

To order, simply upload your images and select your panel size. Once we receive your selections, we’ll prepare a digital proof for your review and layout approval. This step helps make sure the images are properly aligned and meet your expectations. After you approve the proof, we’ll issue an invoice and begin manufacturing your custom acoustic art panels.

For general noise-control applications such as improving speech clarity in offices, our 50mm panels are recommended. For spaces requiring improved mid-to-low frequency absorption, such as home cinemas, the 75mm or 110mm options provide better overall performance.

A single panel may slightly reduce reverberation in smaller rooms, but it will not meaningfully change the acoustic character of most spaces. Effective results typically require multiple sound‑absorbing elements placed throughout the room to achieve noticeable improvement.

How Many Panels

CMF Acoustic Art Panels are the perfect addition to any space. Whether you want to add decorative pieces in your home theatre or create a calming atmosphere in a busy office, we personalise to suit your style from abstract art and movie poster designs to nature photos.

We use a smooth, acoustically transparent polyester fabric that allows sound to pass through easily and be absorbed by the core. This is essential for controlling sound reflections in any room. If you're planning visual continuity across a wall using a mix of plain colour and images, please note that this dedicated material has a different texture to the R3B panel's fabric.

The print process is an innovative technique that uses heat to transfer dye onto fabric. Unlike UV printing, one of the key advantages of this method is its ability to infuse ink into the fibres rather than coating the surface. This produces exceptional colour accuracy and sharp detail while keeping the fabric fully porous — maximising acoustic performance. Dye-sublimation technology also provides excellent fade resistance and eliminates the risk of cracking and peeling, ensuring your images stand the test of time. Prints are also low-impact, using only water-based inks that contain no harmful chemicals and emit no odour.

Acoustic Performance

The noise reduction coefficient (NRC) of a material measures its ability to absorb sound. Ratings are expressed in decimals from 0 to 1, where 0 represents 0% sound absorption and 1 represents 100%. Materials with a low NRC often require extensive surface coverage to achieve noticeable improvements to noise levels. This is especially relevant in the 1000Hz to 4000Hz range, where human hearing is most sensitive.

Additional Specifications

Easy Installation

Each panel is supplied with a simple two-part aluminium mounting kit. One piece attaches to the wall and the other to the panel backing, leaving no more trace than a picture hook. Once coupled, the panel’s weight holds the two pieces securely together. The wall piece can also be fixed using 3M Command™ Strips (not included) for a removable, damage-free option.

Panel Edge Options

To ensure your images are seamlessly wrapped around the panel frame, we offer three different panel edge options. For movie poster images and other pictures that contain critical content close to the edge, we recommend a mirrored border (example above). For nature-inspired images that do not contain important content near the border, our clients often opt for a full image wrap-around. For a more defined, centre focused finish, we recommend a greyscale or coloured panel edge. Contact us to discuss edge configurations.
