Yes, timber acoustic panels are a great choice for reducing echo and reverberation, while enhancing the look and feel of a space.

Timber acoustic panels can be installed on walls or ceilings, and are suitable for most spaces.

Acoustic panels work by absorbing sound energy that would otherwise bounce around the room. Their porous structure allows sound waves to enter and become trapped in the fibres, dissipating as heat instead of reflecting. They are particularly effective at absorbing mid-to-high frequency sounds such as speech, making them ideal for offices, schools and restaurants.

Most acoustic panels are lightweight, safe (low VOC, non-toxic), and easy to install on walls or ceilings. Plus, because many are made from recycled materials (such as PET), they are one of the most environmentally responsible products available.

Prices vary depending on size, material, and finish, but as a very rough guide:

• Wall panels: from £80–£200 each
• Ceiling rafts: from £150–£400 each
• Baffles: from £60–£120 each

Installation costs are additional and depend on project complexity. The best way to get an accurate price is through our free site survey and quotation.

While acoustic treatment is an investment, it quickly pays back in improved productivity, wellbeing, and customer satisfaction. In offices, better acoustics reduce distractions and boost concentration. In restaurants, they improve ambience and encourage repeat visits.

Yes, acoustic timber panels are designed for sound absorption, reducing volume levels and echo.

Some panels, like lightweight stick-on absorbers, can be DIY-installed. However, professional installation is strongly recommended for ceiling systems, large projects, or anywhere safety access is needed. Incorrect fixing may compromise both safety and performance. If you are determined to install yourself, get in touch and we will point you in the right direction.

Resonics provides a full supply-and-fit service across the UK, using qualified installers to ensure compliance with building and fire regulations. We also guarantee the quality of our installations — something you won’t get with DIY.

Not much. Most panels are made from durable, stain-resistant materials such as PET felt or fabric-wrapped glass wool. They can be lightly vacuumed or wiped with a damp cloth to remove dust. Unlike soft furnishings, they don’t need regular deep cleaning.

Panels should not be painted, as this can block their sound-absorbing pores. If a panel becomes damaged, it can be replaced individually without affecting the wider system. PET panels, in particular, are highly durable and maintain their acoustic performance for many years.

Yes. All panels we install are tested to meet international fire safety standards. Most are rated to EN 13501-1:2007+A1:2009 (Class B-s1,d0) or equivalent. This ensures they do not contribute to flame spread or smoke production.

Additionally, many panels are low-VOC certified, non-toxic, and safe for use in sensitive environments such as schools, healthcare spaces, and homes. At Resonics, we only work with manufacturers that prioritise safety and compliance.
