What acoustic treatment costs for a bedroom and nursery

For the typical bedroom in these guides, 2 × 24 × 48 in pill panel, 1 in thick comes to about $300 before shipping and tax.

What drives the price

• Size and thickness: more core and fabric per panel.
• Shape: curves and angles take longer to cut and wrap than rectangles.
• Fabric: premium fabrics such as wool felt, Guilford of Maine and Xorel cost more and some take longer to wrap.
• Surface patterns: routed grooves and facets add machine and finishing time.
• Mounting: ceiling and baffle kits add hardware.

Ways to save

• Use fewer, larger panels. Labour per panel is partly fixed, so two 24 × 48 panels cost less than four 24 × 24 panels.
• Mix: premium fabric on feature panels, standard fabric where nobody looks.
• Order everything at once to reach a volume tier.
