"We can supply panels that are organic,"
They´re edible?!?  |

Maybe look at acoustic rockwool insulation, relatively cheap and can be covered with cloth and screwed to the ceiling,

We can supply panels that are organic, fireproof, and varying thicknesses with absorption data, they're very reasonably priced too even in black.
I don't think they currently have any other UK distributor, it's an industrial focused company hence the lack of price gouging for studio people Work incredibly well even in smaller amounts for 500Hz up. |

hey
Yeah I don't know if I'd go with spray on stuff, seems like a lot of hassle. I'd think that all the time cocooning the room in dust sheets and polythene, and then all the clean up of the over spray after, would be much more work that was actually worth it? If it's only general hf absorption you want, I'd just go with foam tiles. You don't need to go with super high quality, extra dense audio specific tiles, aim more for quantity than quality. Even just approach a foam manufacturer and try and buy in bulk straight from them rather than an audio or acoustic specific company. Long as it's open cell foam, and fire retardant/safe, then just buy a huge pile of it and no nails it to the roof, job done. No need for masses of cover up before or clean up after, like there would be with spray stuff. K

I've seen spray-on stuff used on a youtube video from a company erecting portable metal buildings, it's a sort of giant flock that insulates the building, looks like a cross between expanding foam and a feather pillow and is applied with a lance and mobile compressor. Whatever you use, make sure it isn't going to rain down toxic fireballs if there's a fire. H&S can get very sniffy about that sort of thing.

Are they standard loose tiles? If so, you can replace them with ones which have greater sound adsorption, they come in all kinds of different types. You could also do two layers of them potentially.
Pictures would help. The other option is that you don't necessarily need to cover the whole area. If you made up some frames with serge or felt stretched across them and some fibreglass/polyester behind (bearing in mind fire regs), then hang them a few inches below the ceiling in various places that might help. Think Royal Albert Hall! |

That's what I was thinking. Something like this maybe? |

It's just bits of paper flapping about in a box.

the ceiling is typical warehouse ceiling / semi lowered / fibre boards
sticking carpet tiles is gonna be pretty laborious, it 26m x 20m .. the roof also goes up to an apex at 2 points, so the ceiling area is bigger than that too !
i've seen some buildings with a bobbly textured ceiling, but no idea what the stuff is called.. looks like expanding foam, but not as expanded! |

When I helped refit a music venue last year, I found some spare carpet tiles and glued them to the wall behind the mix position. They're not thick but I think it does make a noticeable difference.
What is the ceiling currently?

Flame-proof spray-on cellulose insulation does a good job.
I heard the results in a large metal building, it made a large difference (even though it was done for heat-loss reasons, not sound). |
