What are acoustic wall panels?

Acoustic wall panels are boards mounted against felted fabric or covered in soft materials to help absorb sound. While panelling is a popular design choice for adding elegance and interest to a room, acoustic wall panels have the unique advantage of being both functional and striking to look at. Here, we look at the practical benefits of choosing acoustic wall panels, how they can improve the comfort of your living or workspace, and the different styles available.

Reduced noise at work and home

Acoustic wall panels are designed to absorb noise and improve the overall sound quality of a room. As well as reducing internal interruptions such as reverberations and echoes, they curb external disturbances like traffic and noisy neighbours. This makes them a practical choice for commercial buildings that want a quieter working environment or homes that require more privacy.

Loud spaces can be both stressful and distracting, so investing in acoustic wall panels is a practical way to improve concentration levels, productivity, and overall wellbeing. Consider adding them to your home office, so you have a peaceful place to work or to open plan spaces to reduce the amount of noise that travels across the room.

A modern design feature to suit any space

Although acoustic wall panels were designed with functionality in mind, they also enhance the appeal and style of a room. Like traditional panelling, they are versatile enough to suit any type of property and look striking in both modern and older buildings. Because they come in a variety of shades, they can be easily adapted to suit any interior theme and enhance existing colour schemes. Try using them in small areas to create quiet zones or cover an entire wall for a contemporary feature that looks calming and stylish.

Easy to clean and maintain

Walls often get the brunt of wear and tear and are prone to bumps, scuff marks and stains. If your wallpaper or paint has seen better days, an acoustic wall panel can provide a low-maintenance solution. A quick clean with a damp cloth every so often is all they need to look good, making them ideal for families, homes with pets or commercial buildings with a lot of foot traffic. Because they’re so durable, they’re also a cost-effective choice that will save you time and money because they won’t need replacing or updating on a regular basis.
