Acoustic wood panels work by reflecting and diffusing sound waves. The holes in perforated acoustic wood panels are designed to welcome specific frequencies, while others are absorbed or converted into heat energy.
Unlike some other acoustic control fixtures, acoustic wood panels are attractive and can blend into the design of any room. They can be shaped to meet almost any aesthetic preference.
Increased Sound Absorption
A wood acoustic panel has a porous material that helps with sound absorption. When sound waves strike a porous surface, they soak in the material, dissipating the energy as heat energy. This reduces noise levels and makes a room more comfortable to be in.
acoustic panels can be made with various perforations to increase or decrease their effectiveness in absorption and diffusion. Wood panels can also have an air gap behind them to improve sound absorption even further. Unlike other acoustic control fixtures that can be installed in spaces, acoustic wood panels provide a sleek look that never looks out of place. They can be shaped and trimmed to meet any aesthetic preference. They are also a more sustainable alternative to other acoustic products.
Reduced Echo
Wood acoustic panels reduce the amount of reverberation that occurs within rooms. This helps to localize sound and improves intelligibility. This makes them great for concert halls, home theaters, offices, and recording studios. They are often perforated with slits or grooves to absorb some frequencies while allowing others to reflect.
In addition to their acoustic properties, acoustic panels made of wood are more sustainable than conventional materials. Wood is a renewable resource that can be easily recycled or broken down without impacting the environment. They also don’t contain volatile organic compounds, which can help to improve indoor air quality. The natural look of acoustic wood panels is also an added benefit. They never look out of place in a room. Instead, they add a touch of style to the space and enhance the overall aesthetic.
Diffusion
When sound waves hit a flat surface like drywall or concrete, they can bounce off and overlap, creating an echo and flutter effect. Wood acoustic panels have a curved or irregular surface that diffuses those sounds, helping to remove the echo and flutter from rooms.
Decorative wooden acoustic panels are more sustainable than Styrofoam and similar acoustic treatments because they are made from natural and renewable materials. They also emit fewer VOCs, which can contribute to poor indoor air quality.
When shopping for acoustic panels, look for ones with high NRC ratings. The higher the rating, the more porous the panel will be.
Increased Space
Wood acoustic panels can help tame high frequencies, often creating excessive reverb and echo in spaces. This can make rooms more comfortable and improve their sound recording quality.
Hard surfaces like drywall and concrete offer little to no acoustic control, but acoustic wood panels can be shaped to fit the space and meet various aesthetic preferences. This allows them to control the acoustics of a room without sacrificing the warmth and elegance that come with natural wood.
Some acoustic wood panels have holes or slits that help absorb specific frequencies while allowing others to reflect. This can help tune the acoustics of a space to suit specific requirements, such as home theaters or recording studios.
Aesthetics
Wood is used in many musical instruments – the bodies of string and percussion instruments, pretty much every drumstick you ever saw, and even the reeds that make wind instruments possible. Unsurprisingly, it would do a great job absorbing and diffusing sound waves to quiet space and improving audio quality.
Our acoustic wood wall panels can be a stylish solution for adequately treating and decorating any room. They come in various shapes and perforation patterns to help create the perfect look for a space.
For example, the wood slat panels can be mounted on walls in a living room to enhance the audio quality of home cinema systems and reduce background noise. Or they can be hung from ceilings in an office to improve voice clarity during video calls.
