Important considerations when purchasing acoustic panels

livingroom with wall panels

Acoustic panels have become an integral part of modern households. The sound-absorbing panels are popular, and for good reason. The acoustic wall panels are not only stylish but also offer many practical benefits. The panels are durable, low-maintenance, and easy to install. Below, you'll find what to consider before purchasing sound-insulating panels.

What are acoustic panels?

Acoustic panels are sound-absorbing panels. The acoustic wall panels are specifically designed to improve the acoustics of a space. They do this by absorbing sound waves, reducing echoes and noise disturbance. Additionally, acoustic panels are visually appealing. The wooden wall panels are made from sustainably produced wood, are easy to install, and low-maintenance.

Different types of acoustic panels

At Aku Woodpanel, we offer a wide range of acoustic panels. Each type and design has its own features and benefits. From classic oak panels to modern and colorful wall panels with a herringbone pattern. With our extensive range, there is always a sound-absorbing wall panel that suits your interior.

Various sustainable materials

Our acoustic panels are all made from environmentally friendly materials, sustainable wood veneer, and recycled felt. The only question for you is whether to choose one of the classic oak wall panels, one of the stylish mocha wood panels, one of the warm walnut wood panels, or one of the special acoustic panels with a playful pattern. The acoustic panels can be combined with various interior styles.

Aesthetic and adaptable

Acoustic panels are not only practical but also aesthetically pleasing. The sound-absorbing panels have a luxurious appearance and add that extra touch to any interior. Easily adapt your interior by placing a few acoustic wall panels behind the television to create a home cinema. Add more acoustic panels near your dining table or around your kitchen island for a luxurious restaurant feel. The possibilities are endless.

Easy to install and maintain

If you choose soundproof wall panels, you don't want to spend too much time on installation. Acoustic panels are quick and easy to install, no matter which type you choose. The amount of time and effort required largely depends on where you mount the acoustic panels. Choose to mount with screws or use our handy high tack adhesive kit. Maintenance and cleaning take little time, as acoustic panels are low-maintenance. By regularly wiping the sound-insulating panels with a dry cloth, they remain as good as new.

Acoustic wall panels

The biggest advantage of acoustic panels is their sound-dampening effect. Do you suffer from echoes in your home, hear the neighbors' television in your living room, or want to work undisturbed in your home office? Acoustic panels dampen sound and are therefore the perfect solution. The wooden wall covering absorbs both internal and external noise and reduces noise pollution in the home. This way, you can work undisturbed or fully enjoy the peace and quiet.

Placement and spatial impact

The placement of acoustic wall panels affects the sound-dampening effect in the room. The closer you place the acoustic panels to the source of the sound, the better they work. If you place a single sound-insulating wall panel, the effect will be different than if you mount multiple acoustic panels side by side. Choose two or more sound-dampening panels in the corner of the room or place the acoustic panels on the ceiling. This not only influences the acoustics but also the interior and space. Therefore, think carefully about where you place the panels.

Combining with other acoustic solutions

You can also combine our acoustic wall panels with other acoustic solutions. For example, mount our panels behind your television and place a sound-dampening rug in front of your TV unit. Paintings, curtains, and other forms of window decoration also work as sound dampeners and are perfect to combine with sound-insulating panels.

What to consider when buying acoustic panels?

When purchasing acoustic panels, there are several aspects to keep in mind, aside from the color, design, and number of panels. It's important to consider your budget, the price-quality ratio, warranty and service, and of course, the experiences and reviews of other buyers.

Frequently asked questions

Are acoustic panels suitable for every room? Acoustic panels are suitable for almost any room. However, the wooden wall panels are not resistant to moisture. Therefore, acoustic panels are not a good idea for outdoor use, in the bathroom, or in a damp garage.

How do acoustic panels affect room acoustics? An acoustic wall panel absorbs sound, preventing it from bouncing back. The panel consists of three different layers: felt, a fiberboard, and MDF slats with a melamine surface on top. The felt ensures that the sound is dampened and absorbed, and the fiberboard breaks the sound waves.

Are acoustic panels easy to install yourself? Installing acoustic panels is very simple. Choose to attach the soundproof panels with our high tack adhesive kit or mount them to the wall with screws. Still having trouble? We are always available to help you.
