Can Aluminum Wall Panels Interior Be Perforated for Acoustics?

 Interior aluminum wall panels can be skillfully perforated and coupled with acoustic materials to address noise control challenges in various spaces. Using laser-cut or mechanically punched holes, we tailor perforation patterns—optimizing hole size, spacing, and open-area ratio—to target specific reverberation frequencies common in open-plan offices, conference rooms, or entertainment venues. Behind the perforated face, non-woven polyester or mineral wool acoustic backers capture and dissipate sound energy, reducing echo and improving speech intelligibility. In scenarios requiring low-frequency absorption, we recommend a controlled air gap between panel and backing, boosting performance. Despite the perforations, all panels retain their protective PVDF or anodized finishes, ensuring ease of cleaning and long-term durability. Installation integrates seamlessly with suspended ceiling grids, creating continuous acoustic surfaces that envelop both walls and overhead planes. The result is a refined acoustic environment that combines the visual crispness of metallic finishes with the functional benefits of professional sound management.
