Acoustic Wood Panels for Walls

 Australian wood panels. have long been a material of choice for adding character and beauty to interior walls and ceilings. The natural beauty of timber or wood wall linings or ceiling panels can add a look of sophistication and quality to any space, particularly commercial or public areas like shopping centres, foyers, boardrooms, etc. However, hard wall or ceiling lining materials like plaster, concrete, and even plain timber can reflect sound waves. In interiors where speech, announcements or performance commonly occurs, sound quality these spaces can benefit greatly from installing perforated timber or wood panels. Perforating the face of wood panels allows sound to pass through the surface, rather than reflecting back into the space where it can cause reverberation, or distortion, leading to  inferior sound quality. Sontext manufacture Murano Acoustic Wood Panels with slots, grooves or perforations (holes) in regular decorative patterns for just this purpose. Murano Acoustic wood panels for walls  and ceilings have been tested over a range of frequencies with sound absorbing insulation mounted behind the panels. The results are expressed as a noise reduction rating (called NRC, or noise reduction coefficient), for each pattern, thus providing designers and specifiers with a predictable performance measure.

Sontext offer a large range of finishes and perforation patterns in their range of Murano Wood Panels, including natural Australian and exotic timber veneers, hard wearing laminates and lacquer or painted finishes. Depending on volume, Sontext are also able to provide customised sizes and edge treatments to accommodate existing areas and ceiling grid systems.

The Sontext acoustic panel range includes Serenity fabric-faced panels, Murano wood panels, Sonofonic clouds and Serenity Art Panels. For assistance with internal acoustic problems,  or for more information contact Sontext .
