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.

Akupanels ' The Must-Have
for Your Interior

Wondering why everyone's raving about Akupanels?

Discover the trend

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 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.

Selecting the Perfect Colors and Styles for Optimal Design

While the acoustic benefits of our panels are paramount, we understand that aesthetics play a crucial role in interior design. You want your living spaces to reflect your unique style and personality. With our acoustic panels you get the opportunity to balance between both function and beauty in your home, office or wherever you want it.

Importance of Aesthetics

Interior design is not just about functionality; it's also about creating a space that feels comfortable and enjoyable ' no matter if it's at home, the office or at a restaurant. The colours and styles you choose can greatly influence the ambiance and atmosphere of a room. We believe that your acoustic wood panels should be an integral part of your interior design, seamlessly blending into your decor while enhancing the acoustic environment.

By preventing sound from reflecting back into the room and eliminating reverberation, they create a serene atmosphere that promotes relaxation and reduces stress. Imagine this: You are coming home to a tranquil living room where the day's stresses melt away, or you are working in an office where your productivity soars without the distraction of background noise ' what a bliss.

Guidance on Colour Selection

We offer a wide range of colours for our acoustic panels. These colours have been carefully selected based on the principles of Nordic Design philosophy, emphasising simplicity, functionality, and elegance. Whether you prefer classic neutrals, bold statement colours, or anything in between, our panel colours are specifically designed to complement various interior design styles.

When choosing the right colour for your acoustic wood panels, consider the existing colour palette in your space. Harmonising the colours can create a cohesive and visually pleasing environment.

For a minimalist and clean look, opt for neutral tones that match the already existing colours in the room. If you want to make a bold statement, consider deeper shades or colours that can act as focal points in your room. If in doubt and before making the final decision, you can order our colour samples.

Styles to Complement Your Space

In addition to colour, the style of the acoustic wood panels also plays a crucial role in achieving the desired aesthetic. Our panels feature lamellae of different depths and lengths, adding a dynamic and textural element to your walls or ceilings. The slats are mounted on a base of acoustic felt, providing both functionality and beauty.

The depth and length of the acoustic panels contribute to the overall look and feel of your space. Thinner acoustic panels with closer spacing can create a sleek and modern appearance, while thicker panels with wider spacing can introduce a more rustic or industrial vibe. And the best part is ' it's all your choice.

TLS Guy said:

Most domestic rooms do NOT need treatment, contrary to what you have read. Room reflections are important to natural reproduction.

Most people looking to treat rooms in fact have lousy speakers. Speakers appear to cause room problems in the bass when the Q is too high. This is prevalent as manufacturers and DIYers try to tune their enclosures too low, and end up with deeper but inferior bass. This problem is just rampant.

The next problem is speakers with a poor dispersion pattern. A good speaker will have an off axis response that mirrors the on axis response, but with an HF roll off. Whilst dealing with room reflections can improve a poor performing speaker in this regard, a much better solution is to replace the speakers.

Click to expand...

I have to disagree with your comment that most rooms don't need treatment and I agree that reverberation is needed, but many rooms are too live, shaped badly WRT dimentional proportions and reflective vs absorptive vs diffusive surfaces. I also agree about bad dispersion patterns. That said, if hand claps in any room reveal echo, the reflections need to be dealt with.

My living room isn't huge, it's not a rectangle (it opens to the kitchen, a hallway and other rooms and the floor is carpeted. The system can't be centered on the front wall and a doorway is behind the right end of my sofa, with the kitchen to the right of my listening position. After I built the speakers with the crossovers you provided (thanks, again), I had a hard time positioning them without hearing comb filtering effects when I moved through the seating areas or walked through the room. The response in a non-reverberent space (outdoors, on a calm day, aimed toward nothing in particular and no hard surfaces) was measured and smooth throughout the bass through treble range, with the expected roll-off above the mid-upper 30Hz area (dual 6-1/2" Peerless woofers) and I'm not worried about the lowest octave as much because I don't generally listen to pipe organ or other music that demands the lowest extension and I don't want to disturb anyone.

I had made some panels to demonstrate their abilities for a home theater client a few years ago, so I decided to bring them up, to find out if they would help. I fired up Room EQ Wizard, positioned my mic and as usual, I saw a deep trough in the response in the 60Hz-100Hz range. I had tried changing the distance to the side walls, front wall, toe-in, distance from each other, distance to me, my position, height, tilted them back- nothing worked. As I brought the panels in, I started by placing one at the left and right walls, to catch the first reflections- the longer path length of the reflected sound adds enough delay that it's annoying, especially with percussive music, speech and vocal music. I also hear the reflections coming from the right and left speakers, from their opposite walls. I could treat them, but one is at a window and the other is the side of a kitchen cabinet. The first panels helped- I could watch the response change as I added each one. I then put a panel in the front corners and that made a major improvement. I added one to the left rear corner and saw more improvement and when I placed another above the first, it helped again. The last panel I had went into the right front corner and the whole time, I watched the improvements until the trough was gone. I moved the mic around the seating area and the trough never reappeared. I did spend more time positioning the speakers when I started carrying Parasound and installed the preamp and power amp, but the response has improved immensely since I placed the panels. I can now move around the room and in stereo (I don't have a surround system because of the layout- it doesn't lend itself to surround speakers), the dialog comes from dead center between the speakers, even if I'm past 90 degrees to the right speaker. The response sounds exceptionally even as the notes move through the musical scale, without causing fatigue. I rarely listen at high SPL (if I hit 95dB, it might have been one or twice, for less than a minute), but the stereo image holds up until I reach about 90dB, which is when I really hear the reflections on the opposite walls of the speakers.

WRT tuning too low, I specifically avoided that because I don't want the speakers to fall on their faces when the low end comes in but after seeing a TV show (Ultimate Restorations- you might like some of their projects), I found some videos with the pipe in Atlantic City that has 64' pipes and it reinforced the fact that if those frequencies are played through speakers without a dedicated mid-range driver or subwoofer, the mid-range frequencies will be terribly modulated when the lowest notes come in. These did surprisingly well, considering the frequencies involved. I'd really like to hear them through your system.

These are photos of the room where someone wants me to install a home theater- I did a rough measurement for RT60 and at some frequencies, it's >6 seconds, most are over >2 seconds. Terazzo floor, plaster on wood lath ceiling and plaster on brick walls with the brick attached to poured concrete. Not a typical room, but it needs to perform well.

I added one to the left rear corner and saw more improvement and when I placed another above the first, it helped again. The last panel I had went into the right front corner and the whole time, I watched the improvements until the trough was gone. I moved the mic around the seating area and the trough never reappeared. I did spend more time positioning the speakers when I started carrying Parasound and installed the preamp and power amp, but the response has improved immensely since I placed the panels. I can now move around the room and in stereo (I don't have a surround system because of the layout- it doesn't lend itself to surround speakers), the dialog comes from dead center between the speakers, even if I'm past 90 degrees to the right speaker. The response sounds exceptionally even as the notes move through the musical scale, without causing fatigue. I rarely listen at high SPL (if I hit 95dB, it might have been one or twice, for less than a minute), but the stereo image holds up until I reach about 90dB, which is when I really hear the reflections on the opposite walls of the speakers.WRT tuning too low, I specifically avoided that because I don't want the speakers to fall on their faces when the low end comes in but after seeing a TV show (Ultimate Restorations- you might like some of their projects), I found some videos with the pipe in Atlantic City that has 64' pipes and it reinforced the fact that if those frequencies are played through speakers without a dedicated mid-range driver or subwoofer, the mid-range frequencies will be terribly modulated when the lowest notes come in. These did surprisingly well, considering the frequencies involved. I'd really like to hear them through your system.These are photos of the room where someone wants me to install a home theater- I did a rough measurement for RT60 and at some frequencies, it's >6 seconds, most are over >2 seconds. Terazzo floor, plaster on wood lath ceiling and plaster on brick walls with the brick attached to poured concrete. Not a typical room, but it needs to perform well.
