That white “pegboard” sound paneling?

Post by alexdingley » Fri May 13, 2022 6:27 pm

I’ve seen this in many studio photos. Just curious;
Is there a product name of that white peg-board-esque sound treatment that has a randomized hole-layout?

So who is in the foreground of said photos? What era?

Sinatra & Joe Meek? Probably the Armstrong-type tiles linked above.

Steely Dan? Possibly some RPG product.

More recent? GIK make panels with a random "dot-dash" pattern.

There's also the possibility that it's just pegboard, or is some sort of custom-fabricated thing.

I spent many a high school study hall hour staring at ceiling tiles like that.

I did my studio ceiling with those. The main reason was because it's a vaulted ceiling with support beams and would have been a nightmare to drywall. I like the tiles though. No idea if they do a huge amount to the sound but it's a classic look.
