Introduction

Perforated acoustic panels are effective solutions for sound absorption in various environments. However, users may encounter common issues during installation or use. This guide provides troubleshooting tips for these problems.

Common Issues and Solutions

1. Insufficient Sound Absorption

If the panels are not absorbing sound effectively, consider the following:

• Check Placement: Ensure panels are installed in the correct locations, particularly at points of sound reflection.

• Evaluate Panel Density: Use panels with appropriate density and thickness for the specific acoustic needs of the space.

2. Visible Gaps Between Panels

Gaps can lead to sound leakage, diminishing effectiveness:

• Adjust Installation: Ensure panels are closely aligned during installation. Use spacers if necessary for uniformity.

• Revisit Adhesive: Check that the adhesive is suitable and applied correctly to avoid shifting.

3. Panel Damage or Warping

Damage can affect performance and aesthetics:

• Inspect for Damage: Regularly check panels for signs of damage. Replace any that are significantly warped or cracked.

• Maintain Environment: Control humidity and temperature in the space to prevent warping over time.

4. Aesthetic Issues (Stains or Discoloration)

Stains can detract from the appearance of panels:

• Regular Cleaning: Dust panels regularly with a soft cloth. For stains, use a mild detergent and water solution.

• Use Sealants: Consider applying a protective sealant to prevent future staining.
