Quick answer: Industrial-unit offices have tall ceilings, bare concrete and big open floors, so voices echo everywhere. Hanging ceiling clouds over desks and meeting areas, plus panels in meeting rooms, fixes most of it without a false ceiling. Check your unit's rules for hanging items from the slab.

Key takeaways

  • High bare spaces echo badly.
  • Clouds over desks and meeting areas.
  • Check rules for hanging from the slab.

Why they echo

Big volume, bare concrete, steel and glass all bounce sound. Each echo lasts longer in a tall room. Open floors let it travel everywhere.

Clouds

Hang clouds over desks and meeting areas, between lights and services. They put soft material closer to people. Ceiling panels are always fixed mechanically, never glued. See ceiling panels.

Meeting rooms

Put panels on the walls of meeting rooms for clear calls. A 6 × 4 m meeting room usually needs 8 to 12 panels. Treat the solid walls first. See meeting room panels.

Mixed use

If part of the unit is a workshop or store, keep panels in the office zone. Keep fabric away from dust, oil and heat. Workshop areas need different materials.

Approvals

Check the building's rules before hanging anything from the slab. You may need approval from management. Plan this before booking the install. See building management.

Cost

Clouds and panels are from S$185 each supplied and installed. Standard fixings are included; scaffold for high ceilings, night or Sunday work and custom sizes are quoted separately. We confirm the count from photos. See office treatment cost.

Dust

Keep panels away from dusty workshop areas. Dust settles on fabric over time. Vacuum office panels gently every few months.

Loading bays

Plan delivery and scaffold access with management. Book the loading bay early. That keeps install day smooth.

What we see on real jobs

Tall, bare industrial units echo more than most offices. Clouds keep the open look and cut the echo.
