Timber Acoustic Panels
Timber acoustic panels are timber slats fixed over a felt backing, so sound passes through the gaps and is absorbed behind. Timber acoustic panels bring the warmth and grain of real wood to a treated wall, with a felt-backed panel behind the timber. Sound passes through the gaps between the slats and is absorbed by the felt, so the room reads as a joinery finish first and an acoustic product second. Slat width, spacing and timber finish set the visual rhythm of a reception, boardroom or residential space, and the spacing also controls how much sound reaches the felt. Timber and felt pair particularly well with planted interiors and natural material palettes, where a fabric finish would feel out of place against wood, stone and greenery. We match the slat pattern and finish to your interior from the ranges we work with, then supply and install across the UK — get in touch for a free survey.
Sound absorption
Sound passes through the slat gaps and is absorbed by the felt behind, so the timber keeps its finish.
Design flexibility
Slat width, spacing and timber finish set the look, from fine battens to bold, wide slats.

From first survey to final finish
One team handles all seven stages, the same way on every project, so you always know what happens next.
A surveyor visits the site, or works from your drawings and photos when a visit isn't practical. Either way, the room, its surfaces and how it is used are recorded before any advice is given.
Reverberation, ambient noise and noise transfer are read against what the space is used for. The findings arrive as a written report with recommendations, yours to keep with no obligation to proceed.
Treatment is modelled against a reverberation target, then drawn up with panel positions, fixings and finishes. Nothing moves forward until you have approved the design.
Every quotation comes with the specification behind it, listing products by type, quantity and finish with costs set out line by line. What is quoted is what the design calls for.
Panels, baffles, ceilings and screens come from our Acoustic Solutions range and are supplied to the approved specification. What arrives on site matches what was designed.
Our own engineers fit to the approved drawings, checking positions and fixings as they go. One team supplies and installs, so nothing is handed between contractors.
Optional: after fit-out the space can be measured again and compared with the original survey, so the improvement is measured rather than assumed. Results are reported against the relevant standards and the written record goes into your building file.
One contractor from first measurement to final sign-off
We work in a strict sequence. Each stage is verified before the next one begins.
Site Survey & Assessment
We listen to the problem and understand the space. You tell us what you hear and when it matters most.
Design & Quotation
An engineer visits the site and assesses the reverberation, noise transfer and how the space is used. You receive clear recommendations.
Supply &
Install
We specify the correct materials and plan the work around your operation. Nothing is left to chance.
Testing & Compliance
We fit the treatment cleanly with minimal disruption. Before-and-after measurement is available as an option.
Acoustic product FAQs: specification, performance and installation
Answers to the questions buyers ask most about this type of acoustic product.
Timber acoustic panels are timber slats fixed over a felt backing, with sound passing through the gaps. Acoustic wood panels are continuous boards with perforations or grooves. Slats give a stronger linear look, while perforated boards look smoother. We compare both against your finish and absorption target.
Yes, veneered and solid options both exist. The choice changes cost, weight and appearance, not the acoustic result, which comes from the slat spacing and the felt backing. Veneer is often more stable and more economical over large areas.
Most arrive pre-finished, so little or no on-site treatment is needed, although requirements depend on the product and finish. We confirm them before installation. Avoid painting or sealing over the felt or the slot openings, because that would reduce absorption.
Yes, they suit natural-material interiors of wood, stone and greenery. Timber moves slightly with humidity and can change colour in strong sunlight, so we specify the finish and fixing for the room's actual conditions.
In many ranges, yes, within the manufacturer's options. Wider gaps let more sound reach the felt, which increases absorption but changes the look. We confirm what spacing and slat widths are achievable at specification stage.
