What does NRC mean for benching acoustic panels?

NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) measures how much sound a surface absorbs on a scale of 0–1.0. Fabric-wrapped privacy screens on benching systems typically achieve NRC ratings of 0.55–0.85, meaningfully reducing sound reflections at the workstation level. Higher NRC screens (0.80+) are recommended for call centers or high-density benching environments. OfficeFurniture2go.com can specify acoustic panels with your benching order — call 1-800-460-0858.
