Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do acoustic panels really work?
Yes. Acoustic panels absorb sound energy that would otherwise reflect off hard walls, ceilings, and floors, which reduces echo and reverberation in a room. The effectiveness depends on the panel’s NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) rating — Extint Decor’s panels reach NRC values of up to 0.90, meaning most sound energy hitting the panel is absorbed rather than bounced back.
2. What is NRC, and what rating should I look for?
NRC stands for Noise Reduction Coefficient — a measure of how much sound a material absorbs, on a scale from 0 (fully reflective) to 1 (fully absorptive). For home theaters and recording studios, look for panels rated 0.70 or higher. Extint Decor’s Wooden Acoustic Panels reach up to 0.90, the highest in our range.
3. What’s the difference between acoustic treatment and soundproofing?
Acoustic treatment absorbs sound inside a room to reduce echo and improve clarity. Soundproofing blocks sound from passing between rooms, which requires mass, sealing, and structural changes. Most home theater, studio, and office projects need acoustic treatment, since that’s what actually improves how a room sounds.
4. Which acoustic panel is best for a home theater?
Wooden Acoustic Panels are the most popular choice for home theaters. With NRC ratings up to 0.90, they deliver the highest sound absorption in Extint Decor’s range, and they can be painted to match your interior — so the room performs well without looking like a studio retrofit.
5. What types of acoustic panels does Extint Decor offer?
Extint Decor manufactures four panel types: Wooden Acoustic Panels for maximum absorption and premium finish, Velvet Acoustic Panels for studio-grade performance with a luxury texture, Thin Acoustic Foam (Slim Sheets) for budget-friendly coverage in custom colors, and Infill Wall Panels for efficient large-area soundproofing.
6. How much do acoustic panels cost in India?
Cost depends on the panel type, area to be covered, and finish. Thin Acoustic Foam (Slim Sheets) is generally the most budget-friendly option, while Wooden and Velvet panels cost more due to premium materials and craftsmanship. Because every space differs in size and requirements, Extint Decor provides project-specific pricing — request a quote for an accurate figure.
7. Can acoustic panels be customized to match my interior design?
Yes. Wooden Acoustic Panels can be painted to match your color scheme, and Thin Acoustic Foam is available in a wide range of colors and can be cut into custom shapes for feature walls or ceiling designs. Extint Decor manufactures in-house, so panels are tailored to each project’s specifications rather than sold as fixed stock items.
8. How are acoustic panels installed, and how long does it take?
Installation depends on the panel type. Infill Wall Panels come in lightweight roll form for fast coverage over large areas like ceilings and partitions, while Wooden and Velvet panels are mounted individually for a tailored finish. Timelines vary by project size — Extint Decor handles design and installation across India.
9. Do acoustic panels require maintenance?
Very little. Most Extint Decor panels need only occasional vacuuming to maintain both appearance and acoustic performance — no special cleaning products or routine servicing required. Infill Wall Panels in particular are built to deliver consistent acoustic quality for years after installation.
