Why Choose Acoustic Panels?

Acoustic wall panels add aesthetic appeal. But moreover, they create an inviting, comfortable environment by reducing unwanted noise, echoes, and reverberation within a room.

Put simplistically, they improve acoustics without complete soundproofing. Here’s how they work and why they’re ideal for any setting.

Types of Acoustic Slat Panelling to Suit Every Space

Choose from a range of finishes, including:

Classic Oak: Timeless and versatile, adding warmth to any space.

Smoked Oak: Adds a rustic, earthy touch.

Ebony: For those who prefer a modern, sophisticated look.

Silver: Perfect for sleek, minimalist interiors.

Walnut: A rich, dark wood that brings a touch of luxury.

What Are Acoustic Wood Panels?

Purpose: Acoustic panels absorb sound, helping to control noise levels in a room by minimising sound reflections and reducing echoes.

Construction: Slat panelling is made from veneered wood, layered over recycled acoustic felt. It’s available in a variety of finishes, from classic oak to sophisticated ebony and walnut, blending style with practicality.

 

Where They Work Best: Acoustic wall panels are ideal for both residential and commercial spaces, including but not limited to:

 

  • Home interiors: Living rooms, bedrooms, and home theatres.
  • Workspaces: Offices, meeting rooms, and conference venues.
  • Creative Spaces: Recording studios, art galleries, and soundproofed booths.
  • Commercial Venues: Restaurants, bars and hotels.

Key Benefits of Acoustic Wall Panels

There are numerous advantages to acoustic wood panels, besides sound control. Here’s what makes them an excellent choice:

Noise Reduction

  • Noise Dampening: Acoustic slat panelling reduces excess sound reverberation, for a calm, distraction-free environment.
  • Echo Control: Acoustic panels eliminate echo, making it easier to hear conversations clearly and enjoy music or movies without distortion.

 

Improved Aesthetic

  • Stylish and Versatile: Market leading acoustic panels are available in various wood finishes, adding a modern, sleek look to any room.
  • Customisable: Stain them, paint them, or leave them in natural wood tones to effortlessly match your décor.

 

Environmental Responsibility

  • Sustainable Materials: Acoustic wall panels from premium suppliers are handcrafted with sustainable wood and recycled felt, empowering you to make eco-conscious choices aligning with your personal values or corporate sustainability strategy.

How Acoustic Panels Work

It’s essential to understand acoustic wood panels are different from soundproofing.

On one hand, soundproofing blocks sound from entering or leaving a room. Conversely, acoustic panels reduce sound within a space rather than shutting it out completely. This is achieved by reducing:

  • Reverberation and vibration: Acoustic wall panels dampen the sound waves bouncing off walls.
  • Localised sound: Acoustic slat panelling controls where sound is directed, improving the room’s sound quality without calling for any major structural changes (which is often the case with soundproofing).

DIY Friendly, Stress-Free Installation

Expertly designed acoustic panels are easy to install, whether you’re an industry professional or a DIY enthusiast. This is because the installation process is straightforward and requires only a few basic tools and materials, such as:

 

  • No More Nails Adhesive: Apply adhesive to the back of your slat panelling for a secure fit.
  • Panel Pins: Use for added stability, especially in high-traffic areas.
  • Fillers and Paints: Fill in any gaps with Polyfilla. And stain or paint your acoustic panels to suit your décor.

Why Invest in Acoustic Wood Panels?

The benefits of installing acoustic slat panelling go far beyond aesthetics, extending to:

  • Better sound quality and reduced distortion.
  • Boosted comfort as a result of reduced noise distractions, making it easier to focus and relax.
  • Increased property value due to upgraded features.

Where to Use Acoustic Panels
