Product Information
Full details
This guide is for homeowners, designers, and businesses looking to enhance interior aesthetics and acoustics. The key benefit is the combination of modern timber panelling style with effective sound absorption. A potential caveat is that the highest sound reduction levels require proper installation onto a suitable substrate. These panels feature real wood veneer on an MDF core with an integrated felt backing made from recycled materials, offering both visual warmth and noise reduction for contemporary spaces.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of these panels?
These panels combine modern aesthetic appeal with significant acoustic benefits, helping to reduce noise and improve room sound quality.
Can these panels be installed in a bathroom or kitchen?
These panels are intended for interior use in dry areas. Exposure to high humidity or direct moisture is not recommended without appropriate sealing and ventilation.
What is the material of the felt backing?
The felt backing is made from recycled materials, contributing to the product's sustainable design.
How much sound can these panels actually reduce?
When installed correctly onto a suitable substrate, they can achieve up to 60% sound reduction. Adhesive fixing typically provides around 25% sound improvement.
How many slats are on each panel?
Each panel features 15 precision-cut slats.
What are the dimensions of the individual slats?
The slats measure approximately 2.7cm in width and 1.3cm in depth.
Can I install these panels myself?
Yes, the panels are designed for straightforward installation and can be fitted by a single person, making them suitable for DIY projects.
Troubleshooting
Panels do not seem to be adhering well.
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Use a high-quality construction adhesive suitable for wood and wall materials. For optimal results, consider fixing to a substrate.
Limited sound reduction effect.
Verify that panels are installed with an adequate air gap behind them (if fixing to battens) or that the substrate is sound. For adhesive fixing, ensure good contact across the entire felt backing.
Wood veneer appears dry or dull.
Gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. For a richer appearance, a suitable wood polish or oil can be applied sparingly, ensuring not to saturate the felt backing.
Panels are difficult to cut cleanly.
Use a sharp fine-tooth saw blade (e.g., a mitre saw or jigsaw) designed for wood. Make multiple shallow passes rather than one deep cut for a cleaner edge.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Enhances interior design with a modern, warm aesthetic.
- Significantly improves room acoustics by absorbing sound.
- Made with sustainable, recycled materials in the felt backing.
- Versatile application for feature walls, media rooms, or offices.
- Straightforward installation process suitable for DIY projects.
Cons
- Achieving maximum sound reduction (60%) requires specific installation methods and substrates.
- Adhesive fixing offers noticeable but less dramatic acoustic improvement (approx. 25%).
- Wood veneer requires care to maintain its appearance.
- Not suitable for extremely high-humidity environments without proper sealing.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation can be completed by one person. Panels can be cut to size using standard woodworking tools. For optimal acoustic performance, panels should be fixed to battens or a rigid substrate, ensuring an air gap behind the felt backing. Alternatively, for simpler applications, panels can be adhered directly to the wall using a strong construction adhesive. Always ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and flat before installation.
Compatibility: These panels are designed for interior use on dry walls. They are compatible with most standard wall construction methods. Ensure compatibility with your chosen fixing method (adhesive, screws into substrate).
Care: Clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture. Periodically check fixing points to ensure panels remain secure.
