Office partitions as sound panels

Any one think of using office partitions attached to walls as a sound absorption alternative?

Most room treatment products are made using fibreglass. You can make your own. Get some fibreglass panels and cover them with a cloth that matches your room. Hang them on the wall or wherever you need them.

Do you have other suggestions for better absorption patterns?
