Is the constant buzz of office chatter making it hard to get real work done? Creating a quieter and more comfortable workspace doesn’t have to involve expensive construction or disruptive renovations. MergeWorks acoustic solutions can help control sound, improve concentration, and enhance the aesthetics of your office at the same time. If you’re looking for simple and effective ways to reduce noise in your workplace, here are three methods by MergeWorks’ acoustic products.
1. Reduce Sound Reflection With EchoDeco® Wall Tiles
One of the biggest contributors to noise in open offices is sound reflection. Hard surfaces like drywall, glass, and metal allow sound waves to bounce throughout a room, amplifying chatter, keyboard clicks, and footsteps. Softening those surfaces with acoustic materials can make an immediate difference.
EchoDeco® Wall Tiles offer a stylish, non-invasive solution to this common problem. These tiles help absorb sound rather than reflect it, helping reduce overall echo and volume levels. They’re lightweight, easy to install, and come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, making them a perfect fit for conference rooms, hallways, collaborative areas, and private offices alike.
Because they can be mounted directly to existing walls with adhesive or mounting hardware, EchoDeco Wall Tiles provide a clear noise-reduction benefit without requiring construction, downtime, or rearranging your space. They are an ideal first step for offices looking to control acoustics quickly and effectively.
2. Improve Personal Privacy With EchoWrap™ Midtown Desk Dividers
Even in a well-designed workplace, employees often struggle with nearby conversations and distractions. For individuals working in dense or open-plan desk layouts, having a personal acoustic buffer can make a significant impact on focus and productivity.
EchoWrap™ Midtown Desk Dividers are specifically made to create quieter individual work zones. Made with sound-absorbing felt, these desk dividers help block noise coming from neighboring desks while also reducing the spread of sound outward. This dual benefit helps employees stay focused without creating barriers that feel overly enclosed or claustrophobic.
The Midtown Desk Dividers attach easily to most work surfaces, meaning you can enhance speech privacy without modifying desk systems or replacing furniture. They’re available in multiple widths, materials and finish options, allowing you to design a visual and acoustic workspace that supports your team’s needs while complementing your office style.
For teams that handle sensitive information or need better concentration, such as customer support, finance, legal, or project management, desk dividers provide a practical and immediate acoustic improvement.
3. Control Overhead Noise With On-The-Grid Magnetic Baffles
Ceilings are often overlooked when addressing workplace noise. Yet, they present one of the biggest opportunities for sound control, especially in spaces with high ceilings, exposed ductwork, or large open areas.
On-The-Grid Magnetic Baffles offer a transformative way to reduce ambient noise from above without altering your existing ceiling system. These acoustic baffles attach directly to metal ceiling grids using strong magnets, making installation fast and clean.
The ceiling baffles work by interrupting sound waves that travel upward and across open spaces, reducing echo and preventing noise from spreading across large rooms. They are ideal for open offices, call centers, training rooms, and shared collaborative spaces where noise tends to travel overhead.
With their bold lines and modern design options, On-The-Grid Magnetic Baffles not only improve acoustics but also enhance the visual appeal of your workspace. They provide a sophisticated acoustic upgrade without the cost, complexity, or downtime associated with structural ceiling modifications.
Customizable Solutions to Match Any Workspace Aesthetic
Reducing office noise shouldn’t come at the expense of your interior design. At MergeWorks, we believe acoustic solutions should elevate your workspace, not just function within it. Whether your office leans modern and minimalist, vibrant and creative, or sleek and professional, you can customize colors, shapes, and sizes to match your design vision. From boldly patterned wall tiles to desk dividers that complement your furniture systems to ceiling baffles that make an architectural statement, MergeWorks offers acoustic solutions that look as good as they perform.
This level of customization allows you to maintain brand consistency, enhance employee experience, and create a cohesive and inviting environment, while also controlling noise effectively.
