Struggling with noisy, echoey open plan offices? Try an acoustic ceiling baffle.

See how a quick acoustic ceiling baffle installation reduced echo, improved Microsoft Teams call quality, and was completed in just 30 minutes.

The challenge

Our meeting room looked great – but acoustically, it wasn’t performing as well as it should. Sound echoed around the space, conversations carried into the surrounding open-plan office, and colleagues dialling in to Teams calls were picking up distracting background noise.

The result? Frustration during remote meetings, reduced clarity in conversations, and disruption for teams working nearby.

Before making any changes, we had a few questions:

  • Would ceiling baffles actually make a noticeable difference?
  • Would installation be complicated or disruptive?
  • Would we need specialist tools or contractors?
  • Is the product sustainable?

The solution – our Sch! acoustic ceiling baffle

Working with our trusted furniture partner, Dynamic, we chose a solution from the Sch! acoustic ceiling baffle range. The Sch! range is made to order, from 100% recycled materials and manufactured in the UK.

To keep things simple and effective, we:

  • Measured the ceiling space to determine the best size and placement.
  • Chose a ceiling-mounted option to avoid using floor space.
  • Selected a graphite charcoal finish to complement our branding.
  • Placed our order online.

Delivery arrived just over two weeks later – impressive considering these are made to order – a straightforward process from start to finish.

The installation

The baffle arrived flat-packed with clear instructions, along with a QR code linking to a helpful video guide.

Installation was quick and easy. Using only basic tools – a screwdriver/drill, wire cutters, and a step ladder (or, in our case, a table) – we had it installed in around 30 minutes.

No specialist contractors. No disruption to the workspace.

The result

The impact was immediate.

  • Echo within the meeting room was reduced.
  • Less sound travelled into the open-plan office.
  • Teams call quality improved for remote participants.

The room now feels calmer, more comfortable, and far better suited to regular meetings and calls – without compromising on style.
