Our products have been tested by UL:

Each test was conducted in accordance with Standard ANSI/UL723, Eleventh Edition, dated April 19, 2018, "Test for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials", (ASTM E84).

The test determines the Surface Burning Characteristics of the material, specifically the flame spread and smoke developed indices when exposed to fire.

Our products are fire-resistant. You can download full report here.

Yes, they do! Our acoustic panels come with free push-pins so that you can begin hanging them as soon as they arrive. No tools or glue required!

It is recommended that you cover a minimum of 25-30% of the hard surfaces within a room to reduce echoes and sound reflections there.

No, acoustic panels cannot be used for soundproofing. Soundproofing is designed to decrease the amount of noise that travels in and out of a room. Acoustic treatment is intended to decrease echo and sound reflections within a room. Acoustic panels fall under the acoustic treatment category, as they are designed to minimize echoes, not keep sound from entering or leaving a room. Thus, they will not work as soundproofing.

The resolution of our prints is a minimum of 150 dots per inch (dpi) to ensure high image quality.

We take images in Adobe PDF, PSD, and EPS, and in JPEG and PNG. Do not convert RGB to CMYK, we will take care of that.

Yes, we have templates for 2 x 4, 4 x 2, and 2 x 2 foot panels that can be accessed and used when you click on the “Select Image From Library” button on the product page of the panel you would like to buy.

Please see our dedicated article about sound reduction in dog kennels. Looking at your picture I can immediately see that area that you could and should address to immediately reduce the noise level:

The metal walls of the barn right behind the kennels is the amplifier of any noise.
What you can do it to use the acoustic felt panels to line up the wall behind the cages. The panels are 48 x 24 inches each and have noise absorption rating of 90%

The other method, not instead but in addition to lining up the reflective surfaces with sound absorption materials, is to plant a lot of bushes all around the area. I see that you have the artificial grass and I understand that maintaining the live plants is a challenge, but if you plant the fir trees and all sorts of bushes on the perimeter of the yard, this will do a great deal to reduce the noise going out to the neighbors.
