So, how do acoustic slat wood wall panels work?

These panels work their magic through a clever combination of materials and design. Slats made of luxury wood veneered medium-density fiberboard are spaced apart, creating gaps that trap sound waves. Behind the slats, an acoustic fabric and insulation layer further absorb and diffuse sound. The result? A dramatic reduction in noise levels and an overall improvement in sound quality.

How to install the acoustic slat wood wall panels for maximum sound absorption

For optimum sound absorption, this method is your best bet. Begin by screwing 45mm timber battens to the wall. Next, secure the panels to the battens through the acoustic felt. To achieve Class A sound absorption, place an insulation material like Rockwool between the battens and behind the panels.

With these installation options in mind, you're ready to put up your Acoustic Slat Wood Wall Panels and transform your space.

Maintaining and caring for the acoustic slat wood panels

• Dust your panels regularly using a soft-bristle brush or a vacuum cleaner attachment. Avoid using water or harsh cleaning products, as they can damage the wood.
• If your panels become stained, use a damp cloth and mild soap to remove the blemish gently. Dry the area thoroughly afterward.
• To protect your panels and maintain their appearance, consider applying a wood sealant or oil every few years.

Expert guidance

Living in a duplex and shared a common brick wall with a noisy neighbor who like late night music. Saw these acoustic slat and thinking about installing and entire common wall with these.

Anyone with real life experience who could share if they can really reduce noice coming through walls?

Will concrete nail glue be good enough for a permanent solution?

thank you

Hello @Onearmman 

Contact us to discuss your requirements of Acoustic Panels. Our experienced sales team can help you identify the options that best suit your needs.

The Prempanel x 600 x 21mm Oak Timber Acoustic Panel is twice the thickness of a regular Gyprock CSR x x 10mm 2.88sqm Plasterboard RE. So, the odds are very good that it will reduce the sound coming through. 

I don't have the exact decibel rating for the panel but allow me to make some inquiries and as soon as I have more information, I'll get back to you.     

Thank you for your patience.

Hi @Onearmman,

In answer to your question, yes, these panels do work and reduce sound transmission due to their acoustic properties. However, considering the type of noise you're experiencing is already travelling through a brick wall, I suspect although these panels will help, they might not resolve your issue entirely. Their felt backing will mechanically isolate them from the wall, helping to dampen any sound vibrations travelling through it. 

It's important to understand that these are wall panels with acoustic properties, not an acoustic panel specifically designed to stop sound. In saying that, though, I don't think you are going to find any dedicated acoustic panels that look particularly attractive and certainly not the same as these. 

There will be a noticeable difference in noise transmission once you've installed them, but I just want you to be aware that they are not designed to block all levels of sound entirely.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
