Product Description
Why Use Ceiling Cloud Mounting Brackets?
The ceiling is often one of the most underutilized surfaces in a room for acoustic treatment. Acoustic ceiling panels play a key role in improving soundproofing, controlling reverberation, and minimizing first reflections from the ceiling to your ears. With the right mounting hardware, you can turn your ceiling into a powerful sound control surface, with a more secure and less messy installation that gluing acoustic foam to the ceiling..
Our acoustic panel ceiling mounting brackets are specially designed to make this process easy. Each bracket set mounts directly to the ceiling with just two fasteners, minimizing the impact on your drywall or other ceiling surface. The brackets create a consistent 4″ air gap between the acoustic panel and the ceiling, increasing sound absorption—especially for lower frequencies.
This air gap enhances performance. Sound waves pass through the panel, reflect off the ceiling, and then pass through the panel again, increasing the energy absorbed and reducing problematic reflections. It’s an efficient way to get more from your ceiling panels, though as always use the thickest panels you can tolerate for best low frequency performance, along with corner bass traps and other devices in a broader treatment strategy. .
A Clean, Floating Look
In addition to the functional benefits, these cloud mounting brackets give your acoustic cloud a modern, floating aesthetic. Rather than pressing the panel flush against the ceiling, the suspended design gives your treatment a professional, high-end look that’s perfect for home theaters, listening rooms, and conference spaces alike.
Whether you’re working with a custom size, creating a multi-panel acoustic cloud, or integrating panels into your broader (DIY or otherwise) room treatment project, our heavy-duty ceiling mounting system provides maximum support with minimal visual intrusion.
Simple Installation
Each set includes:
- 2 cloud brackets (to mount one panel)
- All required screws and anchors
- Installation instructions
All you need is a drill and a level. No z-clips, impaling clips, french cleats, or complex hanging systems required. These brackets are especially ideal for installations where precise height and clean visuals are essential.
Use Cases
- Home theaters: Treat first reflections and absorb overhead bounce for better dialog clarity.
- Home offices or classrooms: Reduce reverb and improve focus and communication.
- Recording studios: Tighten up your direct sound capture by minimizing early reflections.
- Commercial or retail spaces: Create a quiet, professional environment with minimal footprint.
