I see standard fabric wall panels put up in lots of office spaces, basically some thin insulation and then the cover fabric.

are these companies doing this for acoustic reasons or appearance. Do they have acoustic designers or just install what is spec'd to them.

Does anyone know?

Some do, some don't. We work with a company called "Architextures". You might also visit Vicoustics website as well as SnapTex.

Armstrong has products for this. It's used in offices, conference rooms and other places where the sound needs to be controlled, but the SPL isn't high. The fabric is short of one edge and overhangs the other, so it covers the seam in the panel once it's in place.

Architextures is a good suggestion. There is often an acoustic engineer that provides a spec, but not always.

If you are just looking for general acoustic room treatment, Acoustimac is a great low-cost option. For best recording, mixing, and listening, a room should have a mix of absorption and diffusion anyway.

I've built quite a few now for several commercial clients using Owens Corning 703 and covering with Guilford of Maine fabric.  The marketing department of one company even had fabric printed with product images which turned out really cool for conference rooms and call center areas.

None of these installs were "engineered" like you would a home theater.  The panels were just placed to tame bad acoustics (mostly echo) and in every case the extra absorbtion made significant improvements.

One company has already moved twice and just takes them along and hangs them up again in the new buildings.  Depending on size, they're just hung on the wall like a photo or using a French cleat for larger panels.
