Perforated Wood Acoustic Panels
Perforated wood acoustic panels are one of the most effective and cost-efficient solutions for controlling sound in interior spaces. Engineered with precision-drilled holes in MDF or natural wood substrates, these panels absorb unwanted noise, reduce echo, and significantly improve room acoustics — all while delivering a refined, elegant appearance.

Why Choose Perforated Wood Panels?
Perforated acoustic wood panels combine functionality with aesthetics, making them a preferred choice for architects, interior designers, and acoustic consultants worldwide. The micro-perforated surface allows sound waves to pass through and be absorbed by the acoustic fleece backing, dramatically reducing reverberation time (RT60) in enclosed spaces. With an NRC rating of up to 0.90, these panels deliver near-complete absorption of mid-to-high frequency sounds.
Applications
Perforated wood panels are versatile and suitable for a wide range of environments including conference rooms and boardrooms, auditoriums and theaters, recording studios and home cinemas, schools, universities, and libraries, restaurants, hotels, and hospitality venues, offices and co-working spaces, healthcare facilities and hospitals, and places of worship such as mosques and churches.
Available Finishes and Customization
Our perforated panels come in three finish options to suit every design requirement. Melamine finish provides a durable, scratch-resistant surface available in various colors and wood-grain patterns. Natural wood veneer offers an authentic wood appearance with species like oak, walnut, beech, and maple. Raw (unfinished) panels can be painted or stained on-site to match any custom color scheme.
How Perforated Acoustic Panels Work
Sound enters through the precisely drilled holes in the panel face and is absorbed by a specialized acoustic fleece or mineral wool layer behind the panel. The perforation pattern, hole diameter, and panel thickness all influence the absorption coefficient. By adjusting these parameters, different frequency ranges can be targeted for optimal acoustic performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is NRC and what does 0.90 mean?
NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) measures how much sound a material absorbs on a scale of 0 to 1. An NRC of 0.90 means the panel absorbs 90% of sound that hits its surface.
Can perforated panels be used in humid environments?
Yes, panels with melamine finish offer moisture resistance suitable for areas with moderate humidity. For high-humidity environments, additional treatment may be recommended.
What is the standard panel size?
Standard panels are available in 600×600mm and 1200×600mm sizes, with custom dimensions available upon request.
How are perforated panels installed?
Panels can be installed using concealed clip systems, adhesive mounting, or suspended ceiling grid systems, depending on the application.
