Perforated Soundproof Panels – Horizontal Wall Installation Case Study
In modern exhibition centers, acoustic environment design is just as important as spatial aesthetics. How can noise be effectively controlled without compromising visual impact?
Today we share a real-world case: The Shuangliu Airport AirPort Cloud Exhibition Center project adopted Shangcheng 50mm thick perforated soundproof panels for horizontal wall installation, successfully meeting acoustic requirements while delivering a distinctive modern decorative effect.
Project Background: High Demands for Both Acoustic Environment and Aesthetics in an Exhibition Center
Located near Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, the AirPort Cloud Exhibition Center is a modern public building that integrates urban planning displays, business exchange, and city image promotion.
The interior space is expansive with high foot traffic, making it prone to reverberation and noise. At the same time, as a city image window, the interior finishing demands exceptional aesthetic quality.
The engineering company undertaking this project needed to balance acoustic performance with visual presentation. After comparing multiple options, they ultimately selected Shangcheng's 50mm perforated soundproof panels from our sandwich panel series, installed horizontally on the walls.
Material Selection: 50mm Perforated Soundproof Panels + Horizontal Installation
Product Features
-
Thickness: 50mm, providing sufficient sound insulation
-
Perforated Design: Scientifically arranged micro-perforations on the panel surface, effectively absorbing mid-to-high frequency noise
-
Sandwich Structure: High-density sound-absorbing material filled inside, enhancing sound absorption
-
Horizontal Installation: Panels laid horizontally, breaking away from the visual monotony of traditional vertical installation
Why Choose Horizontal Installation?
| Comparison | Traditional Vertical Installation | Horizontal Installation (Adopted) |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Effect | Vertical lines, accentuating height | Horizontal extension, enhancing spatial openness |
| Joint Treatment | Obvious vertical seams | More concealed horizontal seams, better overall integrity |
| Construction Efficiency | Standard | Large-format horizontal panels reduce total joint count |
| Design Fit | Common | Better suited for modern minimalist styles |
Feedback from the engineering company: "The horizontal installation turned out remarkably impressive. The walls look more spacious, fewer seams, and the overall finish is very clean. The sound absorption of the perforated panels is excellent too—the exhibition hall is noticeably quieter now."
Project Implementation: Material Supply + Engineering Company Installation
Shangcheng acted as the raw material supplier, manufacturing the 50mm perforated soundproof panels according to the client's drawings and delivering in bulk to the project site.
The engineering company was responsible for the horizontal wall installation. Shangcheng did not participate in installation, providing only necessary product technical specifications as support.
Key Points for Horizontal Installation (for Engineering Company Reference)
-
Panels installed layer by layer in horizontal orientation, either from bottom to top or top to bottom
-
Fewer seams in horizontal installation—ensure careful leveling of the starting panel
-
Coordinate with the furring channel system to guarantee flatness
-
Perforated surface uniformly facing the interior to ensure sound absorption performance
Project Results: Improved Acoustic Environment and Elevated Spatial Aesthetics
-
Acoustic Performance: Under high visitor traffic conditions, reverberation was significantly reduced, and presentation clarity improved noticeably
-
Visual Effect: The horizontal wall extension enhances the sense of spaciousness; the perforated panels deliver a contemporary, technology-forward aesthetic
-
Overall Assessment: The exhibition center management expressed satisfaction with both the acoustic environment and the finishing quality
