Precision Made Soundproof Foam in the UK

Blue & Grey Acoustic Foam

Our factory in High Wycombe is equipped with the latest CNC foam cutting technology. This allows us to create soundproof foam products at a fraction of the cost of others available online.

By combining premium high-density acoustic grade foam and unique CNC cut shapes, we can offer you the best quality in soundproof foam products!

As UK Foam specialists with over 40 years’ experience, we know what it takes to make great soundproof foam products. Our specialist acoustic grade foam is manufactured to achieve optimum sound absorption across an entire range of frequencies.

The Best Sound Absorption at A Fraction of the Price

Our acoustic tiles lessen the energy output of mid to high-frequency sound waves. This is achieved by softening reflection points. When sound waves hit the peaks and valleys of the foam, the energy they contain is reduced. This inhibits them from traveling and helps to improve overall sound quality in your room of choice.

The CNC cut valleys of our acoustic tiles products help to trap air and form resonant chambers. These chambers broaden the absorption rate of medium frequency sound waves.

For lower frequency absorption, thicker tiles and bass traps are required. Very low frequencies are particularly difficult to control due to the high amounts of energy they contain. However, with correct positioning of tiles and bass traps you can prevent interference caused by these sound waves.

Improving Standards – While Reducing Costs

By buying directly from the manufacturer you’ll receive a better specification acoustic product at a similar price point to cheaper retail products. Every product you see here is manufactured exclusively by us. There are no third parties, meaning we offer you the best prices.

Of course, you’re always welcome to contact us for expert advice. Our team will be happy to provide assistance to help you find which acoustic foam is right for you.

What is Acoustic Foam?

Acoustic foam is a type of open-cell, lightweight foam that is used for sound absorption and acoustic treatment. It is designed to reduce and control reverberations, echoes and background noises within a space, with the aim of enhancing sound clarity and overall acoustics.

Our acoustic foam comes in various sizes and shapes, such as wedges and pyramids, as well as multiple colours including red, blue, black and grey. We offer various acoustic foam products including acoustic foam tiles, bass traps and corner cubes in small and large verities.

How it Works

Acoustic foam has a porous structure consisting of interlinked cells that trap sound waves and dampen vibrations. This helps in minimising sound reflections off hard surfaces which will interfere with the overall quality of acoustics in a room.

It is popularly used in recording studios, home theatres and many other spaces where sound quality is crucial. With a suitable adhesive solution or mounting method, acoustic foam can be secured to ceilings and walls to target vulnerable reflection points around a room.

Acoustic Foam FAQs

To help you find the right acoustic product for your next project, we’ve put together a list of frequently asked questions by our customers. If you still have questions about our acoustic foam products, please feel free to contact a member of our team who will be happy to assist you.

What is Acoustic Foam & How Does it Work?

Regular acoustic foam is manufactured using a type of open cell polyurethane foam. The open cell structure allows airborne sound waves to move through the acoustic foam. Once a sound wave enters the foam, a portion of its energy is retained within the cell chambers and dissipates as heat. This effect reduces the amplitude of indirect sound waves, hindering their ability to travel and cause distortion.

Where is Acoustic Foam Used?

From home recording studios to television sets, acoustic foam can be found utilised throughout many areas. We’ve supplied quality acoustic foam products for use in office buildings, film studios, streaming rooms, rehearsal rooms, cinemas, dyno test cells and much more. If you would like to discuss acoustic foam applications with our team, please get in touch.

What Types of Acoustic Foam Do You Offer?

We stock a range of acoustic foam tiles, bass traps and corner cubes in grey, red and blue. As standard, we offer acoustic foam with a typical wedge profiling. However, we can also offer pyramid, wave and many other unique designs.

How Do You Mount Acoustic Foam?

Acoustic foam can be affixed to surfaces in various ways. One of the most common and easiest methods is to use a suitable spray adhesive. For brick, you can use a contact spray adhesive and for wood, you could use a carpet spray adhesive. You should spray within a well-ventilated area and wear a suitable face covering.

What is Soundproofing Foam?

Acoustic foam is often referred to as soundproof foam. Despite this, we would not recommend that you use any acoustic foam product purely for soundproofing purposes. The ability to completely isolate noise from a room cannot be achieved with any foam product alone. Soundproofing is generally an invasive procedure that requires a certain level of construction to achieve. Whilst acoustic foam does have absorbing properties, it should be used as an aid to help improve the quality of sound within your room of choice.

Is Acoustic Foam Fire Retardant?

The fire ratings of acoustic foam can vary significantly. We can offer you Class 0 acoustic foam which has the highest level of fire resistance possible for a flexible acoustic foam. If you would like to learn more about this product, please contact us directly.
