- Installation: Acoustic treatment foam requires permanent installation, using adhesive that can damage the surface when the foam is removed. Audimute acoustic treatments, on the other hand, are not permanent. They can be easily moved, leaving behind only small nail holes.
- Durability: As acoustic treatment foam ages, it often hardens and cracks. Colored acoustic treatment foam will also discolor quickly as it is exposed to oxygen and UV rays. Because Audimute acoustic treatments are made from natural and recycled materials, the products will not deteriorate.
- Product Choice: If you desire simple, portable, cost-effective and highly effective acoustic treatments, Audimute Sound Absorption Sheets are a clear winner. But for spaces where aesthetics are important, Audimute Acoustic Treatments - Panels and Bass Traps are the solution.
- Environmental benefits: Audimute acoustical treatments are made from natural and recycled materials, designed with environmental consciousness as well as performance in mind. Choosing Audimute acoustic treatments over acoustic treatment foam products benefits your space and the environment.
- Cost: Audimute acoustic treatments cost less than or approximately the same as acoustic treatment foam products.
