Acoustic wall panels

Our decorative acoustic panels reduce echo and reverberation at home and in the office: they absorb part of the sound that bounces off smooth walls and decorate them at the same time. You will find hexagons, 30 × 30 cm squares and 30 × 40 cm rectangles, almost all made of polyester felt and many with adhesive on the back.

For a warmer look, see the slatted wood acoustic panels; if you also want to treat the ceiling, there are the acoustic ceiling panels.

Frequently asked questions

Do acoustic panels really reduce noise?

They reduce the noise that is made in the room itself, not the noise that comes from outside. The felt absorbs part of the sound that would otherwise bounce off smooth walls: the echo goes down, voices are easier to understand and the background murmur is reduced. Traffic or neighbours sound the same as before, because that needs building work that stops sound passing through the wall.

How do you cut an acoustic panel?

Polyester felt cuts well with a craft knife with a new blade. Mark the line in pencil on the back, rest the panel on a cutting mat or a piece of cardboard and hold a metal ruler firmly. Run the blade over several times without forcing it, instead of cutting in one go: the edge stays straight and does not fray.

Where should acoustic panels go?

On the surfaces where sound bounces before it reaches you: usually the wall facing the sofa or the desk and the one behind you, at head height. To find the right spots, sit in your place and ask someone to slide a mirror along the wall: wherever you can see the television in the mirror, a panel goes there.

Can the panels be removed without damaging the wall?

Not always. The adhesive on the back is made to stay put, and when you peel the panel off it can take some paint with it. If you rent or plan to change the layout, stick the panels to a thin board and fix that board to the wall with two screws: when you remove it, you only need to fill the holes.
