Full details
The Wall!Supply UltrAcoustic Eco Acoustic Slat Wall Panels are designed for homeowners and designers seeking to improve interior acoustics and aesthetics with a sustainable, wood-effect finish. The key benefit is their dual function: reducing noise while providing a modern, stylish feature wall. A potential consideration is the need for appropriate wall surfaces for secure mounting. These panels combine a natural oak-look finish with the practical benefits of sound absorption, thanks to their recycled felt backing, all within an eco-conscious design using 90% recycled polystyrene.

FAQs
What are the Wall!Supply UltrAcoustic Eco panels made from?
The panels are primarily made from 90% recycled polystyrene, with an integrated recycled felt backing for acoustic properties and a wood-effect finish.
Can I install these panels in a bathroom or kitchen?
These panels are intended for interior use on solid walls. They are not recommended for areas with high humidity or direct water exposure, such as shower areas or behind a kitchen sink.
How do I cut the panels to fit my space?
You can cut the panels using a fine-toothed saw. It's recommended to cut from the front of the panel to achieve a cleaner edge and minimize chipping of the finish.
What kind of adhesive should I use?
A high-quality construction adhesive or grab adhesive suitable for polystyrene and wall paneling is recommended. Always check the adhesive manufacturer's guidelines.
Can these panels be mounted on a ceiling?
These panels are designed for wall installation. Ceiling installation is not recommended due to safety and structural considerations.
Do the panels require any special maintenance?
No special maintenance is required. Periodic cleaning with a soft, slightly damp cloth is sufficient. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
How much noise reduction can I expect?
The panels help reduce echo and reverberation, contributing to a calmer atmosphere by absorbing sound. The exact reduction depends on room size, existing acoustics, and the number of panels installed.
Troubleshooting
Panels not adhering well to the wall
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Use a high-quality construction adhesive recommended for polystyrene and wall panels. For added security, consider using mechanical fixings appropriate for your wall type.
Uneven appearance after installation
Check that the first panel is installed perfectly straight. Use a spirit level throughout the installation process. If minor adjustments are needed, gently reposition panels before the adhesive fully cures.
Damage during cutting
Use a fine-toothed saw and a steady hand when cutting panels to size. Cut from the front to minimize chipping of the wood-effect surface. Consider practicing on a spare piece if available.
Reduced acoustic effect
Ensure panels are installed correctly with no large gaps between them or the wall (unless specifically designed for that). The felt backing is key; ensure it is in contact with the wall. For significantly noisy environments, more extensive acoustic treatment might be necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Improves room acoustics by absorbing sound.
- Provides a stylish, modern wood-effect aesthetic.
- Eco-friendly, made from recycled materials.
- Easy and quick to install.
- Flexible design allows for vertical or horizontal placement.
- Durable and long-lasting construction.
Cons

- Acoustic performance is moderate and may not suffice for professional sound studios.
- The wood-effect finish, while realistic, is not genuine wood.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound. Panels can be cut to size using a fine-toothed saw. Apply a suitable adhesive (e.g., grab adhesive, construction adhesive) to the felt backing and press firmly onto the wall. For heavier applications or uneven surfaces, mechanical fixings like screws might be advisable in addition to adhesive, ensuring they are appropriate for the wall type.
Compatibility: These panels are designed for interior use on most solid wall surfaces, including drywall, plaster, and masonry. They are not recommended for areas with excessive moisture or direct water contact. Ensure the wall can support the weight of the panels.
Care: Clean the panels periodically with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the wood-effect finish. For dust removal, a soft brush or vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment can be used.
