Improving the acoustics of your space doesn’t have to be difficult. In fact, there are many acoustic products that you can easily install yourself. Whether you're tackling excess noise in a bustling office, a home recording studio, or a busy classroom, the right acoustic solution can transform your environment. These DIY soundproofing options are not only practical but also stylish and cost-effective.
Acoustic treatments help reduce noise, echo, and reverberation time by absorbing excess sound. This improves both the comfort and functionality of your space. Good home acoustics make it easier to concentrate, communicate, and be productive, whether you're working from home, teaching, or simply relaxing.
With just a little imagination and a tape measure, our range of DIY products can help you achieve amazing results without the installation fees. Whether it’s a commercial space, home office, or educational facility, we have something to suit you.

Choosing the Right DIY Acoustic Solution
Selecting the right acoustic product depends on your space, your goals, and how you use the room. Ask yourself:
- Do you need to reduce noise between zones? Try acoustic room dividers like hanging screens or desk screens.
- Is your main issue excessive echo or poor clarity? Look at acoustic ceiling tiles or wall tiles that help with reverberation time.
- Do you want to enhance home acoustics in a living area or office? Choose stylish acoustic panels that blend into your décor.
For open areas, consider layering solutions such as using both acoustic ceiling systems and wall tiles to optimise sound control. Modular products like Peel ‘N’ Stick tiles also give you flexibility to adapt as your needs change.
