Sound Absorbing Wall Panels
Hear the Difference with TPH™ SoundPanels
Real wood veneer. Not a photo of wood. Not a laminate that peels at the corner.
Every SoundPanel™ acoustic slat wood panel wraps genuine oak or walnut veneer on the face and all 3 exposed edges, including the top. That 3-sided finish is what furniture-grade means. Run your hand across the corner and there's no exposed MDF, no sharp edge, no plastic cap. Just wood grain that varies slightly panel to panel - because it comes from actual trees. That's exactly how it should look. All SoundPanel™ wood wall panels are FSC-certified and fire-rated.
NRC Rating: What it Means for Your Room
NRC stands for Noise Reduction Coefficient. It measures how much sound a surface absorbs on a scale from 0 (total reflection) to 1.0 (total absorption). Standard drywall scores about 0.05. Acoustic foam hits around 0.4. Our SoundPanel™ scores 0.85, which means it absorbs 85% of mid-to-high-frequency sound waves on contact. That is the difference between echoey Zoom calls and studio-clear audio. When mounted on battens with mineral wool insulation, effective absorption approaches 1.0.
Acoustic Slat Panels vs Foam Panels
Acoustic foam absorbs sound but looks industrial and only targets high frequencies (NRC ~0.4). SoundPanel™ absorbs a broader frequency range (NRC 0.85) while also diffusing sound waves through the slat structure. The result: better acoustics and a design upgrade at the same time. Foam degrades in 3 to 5 years, SoundPanel™ lasts 15 to 20 years with a 5-year warranty. Foam is not fire-rated, SoundPanel™ carries a D-s2,d0 fire rating.

How Acoustic Wall Panels Reduce Echo and Improve Sound
Acoustic wall panels work by controlling how sound waves reflect within a room:
- Absorption: High-density felt backing captures sound energy and reduces echo
- Diffusion: Slatted wood surfaces break up sound reflections for a more natural acoustic feel
This combination helps reduce harsh noise, making conversations clearer and audio more enjoyable.
If your room sounds hollow or overly loud, installing acoustic wall panels can make an immediate difference.
Best Acoustic Panels for Living Rooms, Offices & Media Spaces
Our wood slat acoustic panels are designed for a wide range of environments:
- Living rooms – reduce echo in open layouts while adding a modern feature wall
- Offices – improve voice clarity for calls and meetings
- Bedrooms – create a quieter, more relaxing atmosphere
For most spaces, installing panels on one or two key walls is enough to noticeably improve acoustics.
How Many Acoustic Panels Do You Need?
The number of panels depends on your room size and layout.
As a general guide:
- Small rooms: cover 15-25% of wall space
- Medium rooms: 25-40% coverage
- Large or echo-heavy rooms: up to 50% coverage
For accurate planning, measure your wall dimensions before ordering, use a Box Calculator on our product pages, or contact us to consult further.
