Do you experience sound echoing in a room? This is because sound waves bounce between walls, ceilings and floors. An acoustic panel absorbs these sound waves and creates a calmer and more comfortable environment. An acoustic panel is the solution – but how does it actually work?
How an acoustic panel works
When sound hits a hard surface, like a concrete wall or a wooden floor, it reflects back into the room. If there are no sound-absorbing materials, the sound will bounce around, creating an echo or a noisy impression.
An acoustic panel is designed to capture these sound waves and prevent them from being reflected. By using materials with a porous or fibrous structure, the sound is absorbed into the panel's surface instead of being thrown back into the room. The sound energy is converted into heat through friction in the material, which reduces the sound level and creates a more balanced acoustics. 
Three factors that affect sound absorption
Materials: Porous materials break down sound waves effectively.
Thickness: The thicker the panel, the better the absorption, especially for low frequencies.
Placement: Panel on walls and ceilings captures reflective sound where needed.
Stone panel – acoustics and exclusive design
It’s easy to think that stone amplifies sound, but our Stone Collection has a naturally sound-absorbing surface. The porous structure dampens noise and creates a luxurious feel with optimal acoustics – perfect for modern homes, restaurants and offices.
Why you should choose an acoustic panel
An acoustic panel effectively reduces echo and noise in everything from offices and restaurants to home environments, creating a more pleasant sound environment. By attenuating reflective sound, both conversation quality and the overall sound experience are improved in rooms with hard surfaces. At the same time, they contribute to a stylish interior with an exclusive feel, where materials such as wood, stone and metal elegantly combine design and function.
Three advantages of using an acoustic panel
- An acoustic panel can reduce sound stress: Better acoustics reduce the effort of hearing and can improve both focus and well-being.
- An acoustic panel from Wood on Wall is more environmentally friendly: Our materials are developed with sustainability in focus.
- Flexibility in placement of an acoustic panel: An acoustic panel offers great flexibility in placement and can be mounted exactly where it is needed most.
An acoustic panel absorbs sound through its material and design, creating a more comfortable sound environment. Whether you want to improve the acoustics of a home office or a larger public space, an acoustic panel is both a functional and aesthetic solution.
