Acoustic desk screen 9mm vs. 12mm – Which thickness should you choose?
When choosing an acoustic desk screen, the question quickly arises: 9 mm or 12 mm thick? Both options have advantages, but the choice depends on your situation.
Noise reduction
1. 9 mm: good absorption, ~70–80% reduction in disturbing noise (5–8 dB less perceived noise)
2. 12 mm: excellent absorption, up to 90% reduction (8–12 dB less) – significantly quieter, especially with voices and echoes
Strength & stability
1. 9 mm: light and flexible, perfect for small desks
2. 12 mm: extra sturdy, even more stable (less wobbling bijdominik kobiela drukker)
Price
1. 9 mm: cheaper (from ~€85)
2. 12mm: a bit more expensive (from ~€95), but better performance
When do you choose which thickness?
1. 9 mm → small workspace, working from home, budget-friendly, sufficient damping
2. 12 mm → open office, lots of background noise, maximum peace and quiet, premium feel
Both thicknesses are made from 100% recycled PET felt and can be installed without tools.
