Quick answer: A typical Pilates studio in Singapore needs 15 to 25 acoustic panels, about S$2,775 to S$4,625 at about S$185 each installed. Reformer rooms sit at the top of the range because the machines add noise. Mat rooms often need a little less. Scaffold for high ceilings, night or Sunday work and custom sizes are extra.

Why do reformer rooms cost a little more?

Springs, carriages and footbars make noise all class long. To bring the echo down, you need a bit more panel area, sometimes with a few ceiling panels. That can add a few panels.

How can I keep the cost down?

Use standard sizes rather than custom ones. Start with the wall opposite the mirror, where panels make the most difference. Use larger 1800 by 600 mm panels to cover more wall with fewer fixings. See where to place panels first.

Should I spend on 50 mm panels?

The 50 mm panel (NRC (a score from 0 to 1 for how much sound a panel soaks up) 1.00) soaks up more than the 25 mm panel (NRC 0.80). In a reformer room it is worth it on the main wall. In a quiet mat room, 25 mm is often enough. See whether thicker panels are better.

How long does it take?

Most installs take a few hours to 1 to 2 days, so you can work around your class timetable. Panels are made to order in about 4–6 weeks. Standard sizes are quicker to plan.

Can I add panels later?

Yes. You can start with the main wall and add more in the same colour once you hear the difference. Keep a note of the colour and size you chose. Standard sizes make it easy to add a matching row later.

Do you install after hours?

We work Monday to Saturday in working hours; night and Sunday installs are possible with a surcharge, quoted case by case. Most installs take a few hours to 1 to 2 days. A small studio can often be done between morning and evening classes.

What we see on real jobs

The biggest saving is starting in the right place. One well-placed wall often does more than panels spread thinly around the room.
