Acoustic Panels – Reduce Echo and Elevate Your Interior Style

Why choose acoustic panels – and what they are not

Acoustic panels can cut down echo from as little as 20 mm in thickness while adding striking wall décor.

An acoustic wall panel is made from dense, porous material designed to absorb sound energy. Once fitted, it can shorten reverberation time in a room by 50–70%.

Don’t confuse them with:

✖ Cheap egg-crate foam – NRC only 0.3, dust-collecting and unattractive.
✖ Polystyrene diffuser panels – look nice, but absorb only high frequencies, upsetting the sound balance.
✖ Heavy blackout curtains – trap mainly high frequencies, altering tone without real overall absorption. If you want curtains or rugs, use our extra-thick sound-absorbing curtain or dense acoustic rug.
✖ Lightweight “acoustic” foam – not decorative, and only minimally effective above 600 Hz.

Key benefits of quality acoustic wall panelling

✔ NRC rating between 0.85–1.25, effective across speech and low-frequency ranges.
✔ Available in 30 colours with slim slat, felt, or wood finishes – dense enough to absorb across the full spectrum.
✔ Fire-rated B-s1,d0 and free from formaldehyde.
✔ Premium, hand-assembled build with ongoing quality checks.
✔ Panels with diffuser fronts or membrane layers offer exceptional low-frequency absorption.
✔ Can be customised with your own photo for a perfect match to your space.

Acoustic Panel Ideas for Different Spaces

Living room acoustic wall panelling

Just three 20–40 mm slatted or felt acoustic board panels behind the TV can tame both echo and hollow ambience. Dense material absorbs speech and bass tones while creating a modern feature wall. No drilling needed – cables can pass through easily. The porous PET surface won’t fade, is easy to vacuum, and can be matched to any wall colour.

Office acoustic paneling

In open-plan offices, these panels subdue background chatter, phone rings, and fan noise. A 20 mm high-density core achieves 0.95 NRC, improving speech clarity and focus. Fire rating B-s1,d0 meets workplace safety requirements. Modular, self-adhesive backs can be laminated in corporate colours, or choose durable wood-slat designs for easy cleaning and a refined look.

Studio and hi-fi acoustic panels

Indispensable for clean, balanced sound. Panels from 60–110 mm thick are tuned to a flat frequency curve, absorbing evenly from 40 Hz to 20 kHz. Bass traps help control room low-end, reducing the need for EQ correction. Microfibre surfaces remain silent under high sound pressure. Optional diffuser fronts enhance spatial feel while maintaining style.

Self-adhesive wall panels for quick installs

Ideal for rentals where drilling isn’t allowed. A strong adhesive backing ensures secure fixing. At 10–20 mm thick, they soften mid and high frequencies – perfect for online meetings or practice sessions. Remove without leaving marks, cut to size with a utility knife, arrange in patterns. PET-felt material is easy to clean and safe for children’s rooms.

Decorative acoustic wall coverings

Cover an entire wall for a seamless, stylish look while eliminating echo. Slatted wood with coloured PET fits Scandinavian, minimalist, and modern interiors. Photo-printed or custom RAL-coloured panels are ideal for branded feature walls. Made from recycled materials, offering average 0.9 NRC performance.

Materials, Thicknesses & Design Choices

Material	Thickness	Pros	Cons
PET felt	9–25 mm	High mid-high frequency absorption (0.85 NRC), fire-safe, formaldehyde-free, cut with a knife	Limited bass absorption
Wood slat + felt	22 mm	Custom sizes, impact-resistant, fire-retardant coating, adds diffusion	Moderate bass control
Membrane panels (leather/wood)	110–130 mm	Leather: 40–600 Hz; Wood: 40–200 Hz, custom-made	Minimal high-frequency absorption, bulky
Diffuser-front panels	≥ 60 mm	Bass absorption + diffusion, wide design choice, great for music/film rooms	Thicker profile

💡 Tip: For pure aesthetics, go for felt or slat panels. For bass management, combine with membrane or diffuser-front solutions.

Installation in Three Easy Steps

1. Clean the surface – vacuum or wipe with a dry microfibre cloth so adhesive grips properly. Uneven surfaces reduce bonding.
2. Fix with adhesive or wall plugs – apply strong acoustic adhesive to the back (unless self-adhesive) or pre-drill, insert wall plugs, and screw into place.
3. Check with the clap test – if the echo sounds shorter and drier, you’re done. Otherwise, add more panels for further improvement.

Arguments for and against

Pros	Cons & Fixes

✔ Even absorption from 40 Hz upwards

✖ Higher initial cost → long-term comfort and value boost, plus free acoustic design included

✔ Combines style and function

✖ Can gather dust → quick monthly vacuum, anti-static coating

✔ Formaldehyde-free, fire-safe

✖ May mark walls on removal → repaint after removal

✔ Modular – 5 minutes per panel to install

✖ Thin panels less effective for bass → add bass traps in corners (no fixings required)

FAQs

How many panels for a 20 m² lounge?
At standard ceiling height, 4–6 m² absorption surface (8–10 panels at 60 × 60 cm) makes a clear difference. Start behind the TV, then expand to opposite walls, spacing them evenly.

Best thickness for a studio?
For home cinema, studio, or hi-fi rooms, 60 mm acoustic panels absorb linearly from 125 Hz. Combine 60–130 mm panels with bass traps to tame 40–80 Hz modes.

Can I paint them?
Fabric-covered panels shouldn’t be painted – it blocks the pores. Felt panels can take light spray paint, while wood-slat panels can be re-stained with breathable water-based finishes.

Will they stick to tiles?
Yes – clean with alcohol first, then use high-tack, solvent-free acoustic adhesive or strong double-sided PSA tape. Smooth, degreased tiles give a permanent bond in 24 hours.

What adhesive for home use?
For indoor use, Ceys adhesive is ideal – odourless, 15 kg/cm² grip, holds panels firmly yet can be removed cleanly with a scraper. One 290 ml tube covers 3–4 panels.
