What Commercial Acoustics does

Commercial Acoustics is a Tampa-based acoustic engineering and manufacturing firm founded in 2013 by Walker Peek that designs, produces, and installs soundproofing and acoustic treatment products for commercial construction projects. It operates from a 12,000 sq ft integrated facility in Tampa combining engineering, an ASTM-compliant in-house acoustic lab, and a manufacturing floor, supported by five additional regional offices across the Southeast and Gulf Coast (Orlando, Jacksonville, Naples, New Orleans, Nashville) and ships products nationwide to job sites.

The company's core technology is a proprietary line of EVA-based mass-loaded sound barrier membranes under the Wall Blokker brand (including Lite and PRO variants) that achieve STC 50+ at roughly $1 per square foot installed, paired with Floor Blokker and AcoustiStep underlayments for IIC compliance. The portfolio also includes a full absorption suite (wall panels, stretched fabric walls, ceiling clouds and baffles, art panels, Ekko felt panels and diffusers), Classic and Networked sound masking systems, and specialty products such as Over Wall Noise Blokker, Drop Ceiling Noise Blokker, Duct Blokker, Fence Blokker, and AcoustiBuilt. Founder Walker Peek holds AS9100, INCE, and Six Sigma Black Belt credentials and is the named inventor of Wall Blokker.

Commercial Acoustics generates revenue across three streams: one-time product sales (membranes, underlayments, panels, sound masking systems), acoustic consulting services (design-assist, target STC/IIC modeling, ASTM E336/E1007 site testing, stamped narratives, construction administration), and installation services (suspended and specialty ceilings, acoustic panels, sound masking with tuning). Pricing is quote-based and project-specific; go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales executed by senior technical reps providing site visits, OAC meetings, and AHJ coordination to architects, developers, general contractors, and end clients across hospitality, multi-family, healthcare, office, government, education, entertainment, restaurant, and clubhouse segments. The firm is privately held, founder-owned, and bootstrapped with no disclosed outside investors.
