U-Shaped Desks — Expert Answer
How do I reduce echo or improve acoustics in an office with a U-shaped desk?
Acoustics in private executive offices are increasingly part of our commercial specification process at OfficeFurniture2go.com. For U-desk offices, we recommend fabric-covered acoustic panels (NRC 0.6–0.8) installed on wall sections above the return surfaces, an area rug beneath the desk zone, and fabric upholstery on the hutch back if applicable. These measures meaningfully reduce reverberation time in hard-surface rooms without requiring permanent architectural modifications. We coordinate with acoustic consultants on large commercial projects. Call 1-800-460-0858.
