Acupanel® Fire-Rated Acoustic Wall Panels

Our fire-rated panels must be installed following our installation guide in our technical sheet. Not following the installation instructions can invalidate the fire-rating and acoustic rating of your panel. You can find the technical sheet with full installation instructions here.

We do not currently offer the fire-rated panels in custom sizes; however, we have designed them to be easily cut if you need smaller. They also join together seamlessly if you need to cover a larger area.

The panels will be absolutely fine in these areas, as long as they are not in direct contact with water. An additional water-resistant finish is recommended for fitting in high humidity or high moisture areas, however, please contact our sales team prior to applying an additional finish to your fire-rated panels to ensure you do not invalidate the fire-rating.

The Acupanel® Fire-Rated Acoustic range is designed for interior use only.

It is straightforward to adjust the panels to fit around any object. You can cut the slats widthways with a saw, and you can cut the felt lengthways with a sharp blade to then apply around any item you may have on your surface.

You can mount the panels on all surfaces including brick, concrete and plasterboard. For our fire-rated panels, a fire-rated substrate is required for installation. For further installation on suitable substrates, please speak to our sales team, or review our fire-rated panel technical sheet.

The wood used is always from the same source so they will always look more or less the same. It is natural wood, however, so knots, slight cracks and colour variations can occur. Get in touch if you would like us to send you pictures of the exact batch you could potentially receive.

The panels have been designed to have the edge exposed, with the layered plywood always visible along the side of the slats. When cutting through the slats, you will see the layers of plywood used. The Luxe fire-rated panels are not a wrapped finish, and the plywood will be visible on the side of the slats.

You certainly can! When installing the fire-rated panels on battens, we recommend drilling holes into the battens as required, to feed any wires through that run along the back of the panel.

Yes, you can! To achieve the full b s1,d0 fire-rating and class A sound absorption, an acoustic-rated insulation must be used as part of the install.

It is always advised to finish natural wood to protect it and, more importantly, to make it look even better than it already does by enhancing the wood grain. Our fire-rated panels come pre-finished with a fire-rated treatment, so you can install the panels straight away.

Please be aware that this is a fire-rated finish, and does not offer protection against water, high humidity, or UV light. If the panels will be exposed to any of these elements, we recommend using a finish that protects against it, but please speak to our sales team prior to adding any additional finishes, to avoid invalidating the fire-rated finish of the panels.
