Product FAQs

Both use the same recycled polyester, but the finished panels differ in several ways. Vivid comes in 12 colors against four for standard PolyZorbe. Vivid is made only at 1/2 inch, while standard PolyZorbe adds 1 inch and 2 inch. The thicker standard panels are denser and absorb far more sound: NRC 0.70 at 1 inch and 0.95 at 2 inch, versus 0.40 for 1/2 inch Vivid on a wall. Vivid is the pick when color range matters most; standard PolyZorbe when absorption matters most.

On a wall it measures NRC 0.40 and behaves about like drywall below 250 Hz, so on its own it reads as a decorative finish. If sound control matters, it has to go up with an air gap or a backer behind it. Options include CelluZorbe, EcoVerb Roll, or UltraTouch Denim Insulation. It is still not a choice for amplified sound or heavy bass.

Testing measured NRC rising from 0.40 on a wall to 0.55 with a 3/4 inch air space and 0.70 with a 1.5 inch air space. The gap also leaves room to add a backer like CelluZorbe or insulation, which raises absorption further.

No. The 12-color range is only made at 1/2 inch. To get a Vivid color with more depth, laminate a 1/2 inch colored panel to a 1/2 inch white panel, or back it with 1 inch CelluZorbe for an estimated NRC near 0.70.

No, it absorbs paint unevenly. With 12 stock colors it rarely needs painting.
