Wood Acoustic Panels Elevate Homes with Nordic Design

WoodUpp’s Wooden Acoustic Panels: The Science of Serenity

Have you ever struggled to hold a conversation in a room where echoes distort every word? Or felt fatigued by the muffled chaos of a poorly designed office? Acoustic discomfort is more than an annoyance—it impacts productivity, mental clarity, and even physical well-being. Enter WoodUpp’s wooden acoustic panels, where Scandinavian minimalism meets cutting-edge sound science to create harmonious environments.

Design Meets Acoustics

WoodUpp’s signature Akupanel series exemplifies functional artistry. These panels combine precisely spaced wooden slats (27mm width, 13mm depth and spacing) with a 9mm recycled-felt backing, achieving a total thickness of 22mm. The system transforms sound waves rather than blocking them—absorbing mid-range frequencies between 300Hz and 2000Hz where human speech resides.

When mounted with mineral wool insulation, the panels achieve Class A sound absorption—the highest industry rating. Even direct wall mounting delivers Class D performance, effectively taming reverberation in residential and commercial spaces alike.

Three Configurations for Every Space

• Akupanel | 60: 60×60cm squares offering modular flexibility
• Akupanel | 240: The best-selling 240×60cm panels with 24 finish options
• Akupanel | 300: Extra-long 300×60cm panels for expansive ceilings

The Science of Serenity

Hard surfaces reflect sound waves, creating the echo effect familiar in empty rooms. WoodUpp’s panels disrupt this cycle through three mechanisms:

1. The felt backing absorbs high-frequency energy
2. Wood slats diffuse mid-range frequencies
3. Air gaps between slats enable bass wave dissipation

Comparative audio tests demonstrate dramatic improvements—voices gain clarity as reverberation times drop by up to 60% in treated spaces. The effect is particularly noticeable in home offices, where video call audio quality improves markedly.

Aesthetic Versatility

Beyond acoustics, the panels serve as architectural features. Available in finishes from rustic grey oak to matte black, they adapt to contemporary or traditional interiors. The slatted design casts dynamic shadow patterns that change with daylight, adding visual depth to walls and ceilings.

Installation requires basic DIY skills—panels can be cut with standard saws and mounted using screws or adhesive. For complex ceiling installations, professional assistance is recommended.

Sustainable by Design

WoodUpp emphasizes environmental responsibility: the felt contains 50% recycled plastic, while all wood comes from sustainably managed forests. Production occurs in Denmark under strict ecological standards.

As remote work and open-plan living redefine our spaces, acoustic solutions like these panels represent more than interior decoration—they’re investments in cognitive comfort and spatial wellbeing. The quiet revolution begins at the walls.
