FAQs
Can these panels be used in a bathroom or high-humidity area?
While the panels are durable, prolonged exposure to high humidity or direct moisture is not recommended as it could affect the wood and felt components over time. They are best suited for dry, indoor environments.
Do I need special tools to cut these panels?
For cutting the felt, a sharp utility knife is usually sufficient. For cutting the wooden slats, a fine-tooth saw (such as a hand saw, jigsaw, or miter saw) is recommended for clean and precise cuts.
How much sound will these panels absorb?
These panels are designed to significantly reduce echoes and reverberation within a room, creating a noticeably calmer acoustic environment. The exact level of absorption depends on factors like room size, existing furnishings, and the number of panels installed. They effectively improve speech intelligibility and overall sound quality.
Can I paint or stain the panels?
The wooden slats feature a laminated walnut coating. Painting or staining over this laminate is generally not recommended as it may not adhere properly and could alter the aesthetic and potentially the acoustic properties of the panel.
Are these panels heavy to install on a ceiling?
Each panel is 60 x 240cm, which is a considerable size. While not excessively heavy for their size, ceiling installation will likely require two people for safe and accurate placement, especially when using adhesive methods.
What's the best way to clean dust from between the slats?
A soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner or a compressed air duster can effectively remove dust from between the slats without damaging the finish.
Troubleshooting
Panels are not sticking or falling off.
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Use a high-quality construction adhesive or screws for a more secure installation. For glue, apply adequate pressure during initial adhesion and allow sufficient curing time.
Sound absorption is not as effective as expected.
Verify that a sufficient area is covered with panels. For optimal acoustic treatment, consider covering a larger surface area or strategic placement in areas prone to sound reflection. Ensure panels are installed flush to the wall without gaps.
Difficulty cutting panels straight or cleanly.
When cutting, use a sharp utility knife with a fresh blade for the felt and a fine-tooth saw (like a hand saw or jigsaw) for the wooden slats. Always use a straight edge or guide to ensure precise, clean cuts. Cutting from the felt side first can also help prevent splintering of the wood.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Measure Your Space: Determine the area you wish to cover and calculate the number of panels needed. Remember to account for any cuts.
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure your wall or ceiling surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or debris. A smooth, even surface is crucial for proper adhesion.
- Choose Your Installation Method:
- Screws: For a secure, permanent fix, drill through the felt backing directly into wall studs or using appropriate wall anchors. Consider using black screws for a less visible finish.
- Glue: Apply a strong construction adhesive (e.g., liquid nails) evenly to the back of the felt. Press the panel firmly against the surface.
- Adhesive Tape: For lighter duty or temporary applications, use a high-strength double-sided adhesive tape on the felt backing.
- Cut to Size (if needed): Use a sharp utility knife or a fine-tooth saw to carefully cut the panels to fit around obstacles or to create custom designs. Always measure twice and cut once.
- Install Panels: Begin installation from a corner or a central point, ensuring panels are level and aligned. Work methodically to cover the desired area.
Compatibility
These panels are highly versatile and compatible with most indoor wall and ceiling surfaces. They are suitable for various rooms where acoustic improvement and aesthetic enhancement are desired.
Care & Maintenance
To maintain the beauty and performance of your acoustic panels:
- Dusting: Gently dust the panels regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a duster to prevent buildup.
- Cleaning: For light stains or marks, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the laminated finish or felt.
- Avoid Moisture: While durable, excessive moisture should be avoided to preserve the integrity of the wood and felt components.
