FAQs
What are the dimensions of each panel?
The product description does not specify the exact dimensions of each panel, only the slat dimensions (2.7cm x 1.3cm) and the number of slats per panel (15).
How many panels are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 18 panels.
Can these panels be cut to size?
While not explicitly stated, wood veneer and MDF can typically be cut with appropriate tools. However, cutting may affect the finished appearance and acoustic properties. Professional installation or careful DIY is advised if cutting is necessary.
What is the acoustic felt backing made of?
The acoustic felt backing is made with recycled materials.
How much sound reduction can I expect?
When installed onto a suitable substrate, the panels can achieve up to 60% sound reduction. Adhesive fixing offers noticeable acoustic improvement of around 25%.
Are these panels suitable for a bathroom?
These panels are generally not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms due to the wood veneer and MDF core. They are best suited for living areas, offices, and media rooms.
How do I clean the panels?
Clean gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
Troubleshooting
Panels do not seem to be adhering well
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For mechanical fixings, verify that the substrate is sound and appropriate screws/nails are used. For adhesive fixing, ensure the correct type and amount of adhesive is applied according to instructions.
Noticeable echo or reverberation persists
Confirm that the panels are installed using a method that maximizes acoustic contact, ideally mechanically fixed to a solid substrate. Consider adding more panels or covering a larger wall area for increased sound absorption. Check for any gaps or poorly sealed edges around the installation.
Wood veneer appears scratched or damaged
Inspect panels before installation for any damage. For minor scratches after installation, a wood repair pen or wax filler in a matching shade might be used cautiously. For significant damage, consider replacing the affected panel.
Felt backing feels damp or is discolored
This indicates excessive moisture. Ensure the room has adequate ventilation and that the panels are not installed in a high-humidity environment. Gently dry the area with a cloth and improve air circulation. Do not use wet cleaning methods on the felt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation
Installation is designed to be straightforward. The panels can be fixed directly to a suitable substrate. For optimal acoustic performance (up to 60% sound reduction), ensure the panels are securely mounted to a solid backing such as plasterboard on studs, or directly to battens. Adhesive fixing is also an option for simpler aesthetic upgrades with moderate acoustic benefits (approx. 25% reduction). Always follow manufacturer guidelines for recommended adhesives or fixings.
Compatibility
These panels are compatible with most standard interior wall surfaces, provided they are clean, dry, and structurally sound. Ensure the wall can support the weight of the panels, especially if using mechanical fixings. They are suitable for use in living areas, bedrooms, offices, and media rooms. Avoid areas with excessive moisture.
Care
To maintain the appearance and integrity of the wood veneer and felt backing, clean the panels gently. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe away dust or minor marks. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the wood veneer and affect the felt material. Regular dusting with a dry microfiber cloth is recommended.
