Sound absorption and sound insulation. They’re not the same thing.
It’s an important distinction though, when choosing acoustic products for a commercial interior.

Sound insulation has a different job - reducing sound transmission from one space to another. Both play an important role in acoustic design, but they solve different challenges. Understanding the needs of the space is the first step towards specifying the right solution.
