Introduction

Open-plan offices have transformed modern work culture by promoting collaboration, transparency, and spatial efficiency. However, this layout comes with a significant drawback: unwanted noise. In environments where multiple conversations, phone calls, and keyboard clatter occur simultaneously, productivity and employee well-being are often compromised. CNC partition acoustic foam panels offer an intelligent solution to this problem. By combining advanced foam materials with precision manufacturing technology, companies like New Edge are helping modern workplaces regain focus, comfort, and acoustic balance.


The Acoustic Challenges of Open-Plan Workspaces

While open-plan designs encourage interaction, they also eliminate physical barriers that help control sound. As a result, noise travels freely, causing distractions and stress among employees. Research has shown that high ambient noise levels reduce concentration and increase cognitive load, making even simple tasks more difficult. Effective sound management, therefore, has become an essential part of modern office design.

What Are CNC Partition Acoustic Foam Panels?

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) partition panels are acoustic barriers made from specially engineered foam materials that are cut with high precision using automated CNC machinery. These panels are designed not only to absorb and diffuse sound but also to serve as mobile partitions, giving offices flexibility in layout and acoustic control.

Thanks to CNC cutting technology, foam panels can be shaped into complex geometries, including wedges, pyramids, and waveforms that maximize sound absorption. Additionally, they can be wrapped in decorative upholstery, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal.

With CNC technology, New Edge can manufacture partitions in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and designs, offering clients unmatched freedom in creating diverse and creative office solutions. Whether you're designing minimalist acoustic screens or bold statement partitions, New Edge can help turn your concept into reality.

The Material Matters: High-Performance Acoustic Sponge Foams

At the core of New Edge’s CNC acoustic panels is the acoustic-grade polyurethane (PU) foam — a material selected after extensive testing for its density, porosity, cell structure, and flame retardancy.

Key Properties of the Sponge Material:

  • Open-Cell Structure: Our polyurethane foam is engineered with an open-cell structure that allows sound waves to enter the foam and dissipate as heat energy. This drastically reduces echo and reverberation.

  • Optimized Density: New Edge offers foams ranging from 20 kg/m³ to 35 kg/m³, depending on the desired acoustic performance. Higher-density foams absorb lower frequencies more effectively.

  • Durability and Safety: Our foams are non-toxic, resistant to yellowing, and available with fire-retardant (FR) treatment, meeting international safety standards for indoor environments.

  • Sustainability Options: In response to rising environmental awareness, New Edge also provides recycled and eco-friendly foam alternatives upon request.

By understanding the acoustic behavior of various foam grades, New Edge can advise customers on the most appropriate material for their office needs — whether for high-traffic areas, creative studios, or quiet work pods.

Upholstery Options and OEM Services

To enhance both function and aesthetics, New Edge also produces upholstered acoustic partitions using breathable, sound-permeable fabrics. These coverings are available in a wide variety of textures and colors, making it easy to match branding, interior design, or architectural intent.

Importantly, New Edge provides full OEM services, allowing clients to place custom orders under their own branding.
