This leads to costly retrofits or ineffective treatment. Always consult acoustic professionals during the planning stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7.2 Choosing Only Based on Appearance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n While aesthetics matter, ineffective panels with poor NRC or STC can ruin functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7.3 Over-Treatment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Excessive absorption can make a room feel unnaturally quiet and \u201cdead.\u201d A balanced mix of absorption, diffusion, and reflection is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
