Crafted with care to keep your space peacefully quiet
Are you having a hard time hearing what people are saying?
Problems with poor acoustics are a major problem in many rooms, but a slat wall or ceiling enables you to create acoustic wellbeing for yourself and the people you surround yourself with.
Sound consists of waves and when the sound hit a hard surface it continues to reflect back into the room, which creates reverberation.
However, the acoustical panels breaks and absorbs the sound waves when it hits the felt and the lamellas.
Hereby it prevent the sound from reflecting back into the room, which ultimately eliminates reverberation.

Elevate Sound Quality with the impact of Acoustic Panels
If you’ve ever experienced the frustration of trying to hold a conversation in a room with poor acoustics, you’ll appreciate the difference that acoustic panels can make. Sound quality is paramount in any space, whether it’s your cozy living room, a bustling office, or a vibrant restaurant. Acoustic wood panels work wonders in improving sound clarity by effectively absorbing and diffusing sound waves.
When sound waves hit hard surfaces, they tend to bounce back, creating echoes and a jarring auditory experience. However, our acoustic panels feature a specially developed acoustic felt made from recycled materials.
This innovative material is designed to absorb sound waves and dampen noise, ensuring that every word spoken becomes crystal clear for everyone in the room. With our panels in place, there is no more pretending to have heard what has been said and already repeated three times – phew.
Bye bye, bad acoustics
With mineral wool the panels elevate to sound class A, blending unbeatable sound control with sleek design. That’s the highest possible rating a product can achieve within acoustic sound absorbtion.

Sound Class A – the best possible rating!
In an official soundtest our Akupanel reached the highest rating possible – Sound Class A.
In order to reach Sound Class A, you have to install mineral wool behind the panels (check out our installation guide).
However, you can also install the panels directly on your wall, and by doing so the panels will reach Sound Class D, which is also very effective when it comes to dampening the sound.
As you can see on the graph the panels are most effective at frequencies between 300 Hz and 2000 Hz, which are the common noice levels that most people are experiencing.
In reality this means that the panels will dampen both high and deep sounds.
The graph below is based on acoustic panels mounted on a 45 mm. batten with mineral wool behind the panels.
