Common acoustic mistakes in daycare rooms

The errors we see most often in daycare rooms, and how to avoid them.

Most disappointing results in daycare rooms come from a few predictable mistakes.

  1. Mounting soft fabric at child height
  2. Using adhesive mounting
  3. Buying by the panel instead of by the absorption the room needs.
  4. Confusing absorption with soundproofing.

Avoid all of these by starting with the panel count and the placement guide.
