Overview Acupanel® is a beautifully designed wood strip decorative wall and ceiling panel which boasts high-quality acoustic properties. The panels can be easily applied to walls and ceilings, be it for domestic or commercial use. Modern styling personified in every way.

The Acupanel® Standard range is produced with a quality, smooth engineered wood veneer finish, designed to have a consistent grain finish. Lamella strips with a clean, modern appearance are mounted onto a uniquely designed, recycled acoustic felt material. Fast and simple installation allows you to quickly transform any space.

Our Acupanel® Premium range is the next step in luxury wood wall panelling. Featuring a real wood veneer finish, this panel range celebrates the natural textures and grain patterns you find in nature. Incorporate the beauty of real wood into your home today with our Premium range offering. If you're looking to oil the panels yourself, we strongly recommend opting for this panel, to have the most consistent oiled finish.

Why not elevate your space further, and opt for our Acupanel® Premium Oiled range. We are proud to offer the UK’s only fully finished acoustic slat wood wall and ceiling panel, removing the need to do this yourself. You can install it straight on your wall from the box, with no extra work needed!

Please call prior to ordering a mix of different sized panels, as they may be from different batches, and there may be some colour variation because of this.

Finish Details Acupanel® is proud to offer the UK’s only fully finished acoustic slat panel! Our standard panel is not suitable for oiling, as the engineered wood can result in an uneven finish. Opt for the pre-finished premium oiled panel to save time and money. Install straight from the box without extra work!

Each panel is professionally coated with a satin oil finish for a smooth, even appearance.

Please be aware that this is a decorative finish, and does not offer protection against water, humidity, heat or UV light. If the panels will be exposed to any of these elements, we recommend using a finish that protects against it.

If you are looking to oil the panels yourself, we strongly recommend oiling the Acupanel® Premium panels, to enhance the grain and give the best finish.

Installation & Downloads The Acupanel® range has been designed to be installed with ease. We recommend either screwing the panels straight into the wall, using the correct fixings, through the acoustic felt or if you are looking to increase the sound properties further, screwing them into batons. If installing on ceilings, the panels can be screwed straight into ceiling joists.

When cutting your panels, it's important to check where you are cutting in relation to the backing staples. If you cut the panels close to the staples, you may notice some slats lifting away from the backing where the panel has been cut. This is completely normal and is quickly rectified by adding additional staples through the backing felt or using a grab adhesive on the back of the slats.

What sets it apart

Acoustic performance

Recycled PET felt core absorbs mid-range frequencies where voices carry. Reduces echo and reverberation without secondary treatment.

Real wood. Always.

Hand-selected real wood veneer, never vinyl wrap or printed grain. Each panel carries natural variation in tone and texture.

Easy to install

Adhesive or screw-fix direct to wall. No subframe, no specialist tools. Most rooms completed in a day.

Residential and commercial

Specified by architects, fitted by homeowners. Same panel, same finish, same result. From living rooms to hotel lobbies.

Sizes for every wall

From 120cm to 360cm lengths. Choose the size that reduces cuts and waste for your specific wall dimensions.

Recycled felt backing

Acoustic backing made from recycled PET. The same material that performs acoustically keeps the material loop closed. Each panel diverts plastic bottles from landfill.

Crafted from real wood, engineered for modern living.

Each panel is precision-milled from sustainably sourced timber veneer, secured to a recycled acoustic felt core. The result is a surface that absorbs sound, insulates warmth, and carries the natural grain of the wood it came from.

Our team has supplied surface materials for over 50 years, from homes to the high-end automotive and marine industry. The same eye for grain, finish, and feel runs through every Acupanel® range.

Frequently asked questions

Acupanel® panels can be fitted with construction adhesive, screws, or battens. For the best acoustic performance, we recommend batten-mounting with mineral wool insulation in the cavity behind. Full step-by-step installation guides are available on each product page, covering how to fit acoustic panels to any wall type.

Acupanel® panels can be cut widthways or lengthways with a fine-tooth saw to fit around plug sockets, light switches, and window frames. Measure carefully and cut from the back of the panel to keep the veneer face clean. Our colour-matched trims cover any visible edges.

Acupanel® panels can be mounted on plasterboard, brick, concrete, and most solid wall surfaces. The wall should be clean, dry, flat, and free from dust. For uneven walls, batten-mounting lets you shim the battens to create a level surface before fitting the panels.

Plan cuts so panel edges meet walls, floors, or corner trims, where the cut is concealed by the adjoining surface. Our colour-matched end trims and corner trims cover exposed edges cleanly. Mitre cuts give a professional finish at internal and external corners. Edge construction varies by range, so check each product's technical sheet for the specifics.

Acupanel® is designed for interior use only. For outdoor wall cladding, see our Plaank® composite range or our Nordic Outdoor® thermally modified wood range. Both are engineered for permanent exterior exposure.

Yes. When batten-mounted, there is a cavity between the panel and the wall that accommodates cables, wiring, and even recessed sockets. This is one of the practical advantages of the batten installation method, especially for feature walls behind a TV.

Yes. When fitting acoustic panels with battens, you can place mineral wool or acoustic insulation in the cavity behind the panel. This significantly improves sound absorption and can help achieve Class A acoustic performance. It also adds a layer of thermal insulation to the wall.

We do not currently offer Acupanel® in custom sizes. The panels are designed to be cut to size on site with standard tools. For large commercial projects with specific size or finish requirements, please contact our trade team to discuss options.

Engineered wood veneer is made by layering thin slices of natural wood into a block, then re-slicing to create sheets with a uniform grain pattern. It uses real wood throughout and delivers a consistent appearance across every panel, which is why it is used across much of the Acupanel® range.

Acupanel® panels are suitable for kitchens and well-ventilated bathrooms, provided they are not in direct contact with water, high heat or moisture. We recommend applying a protective sealant in high-moisture areas. For wet zones like shower enclosures, use our waterproof wall panels instead.

Our warehouse and display area in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire is open for visits by appointment. Contact us to arrange a time so we can have the right products and samples ready for you to see in person.

Yes. Samples are available across most product ranges so you can see and feel the real material before committing. Acoustic panel, wood veneer, and cork tile samples can all be ordered. Check individual product pages for availability.

Our most frequently asked questions.

How do I install the panels?

Our panels are easy to install. If you want a class A sound absorption, we recommend installing the panels with battens. If you're going to use them for decorative purposes only, we recommend screwing the panels directly into the wall through the acoustic felt backing using colour screws.

Where can the panels be installed?

The Acupanel® panels are incredibly versatile. They can be installed on walls and ceilings, in living rooms, bedrooms, home offices, and commercial gyms - the list is endless! They can also be installed in kitchens and bathrooms, as long as they are not in direct contact with water. We’ve even seen our customers use the panels in campervan renovations.

How do I cut the panels?

The panels are simple to cut to size! You can use a sharp, fine-tooth saw to cut the panels. We recommend sanding down the cut edges of the panel for a smooth edge finish.

Do you offer custom panel sizes?

Our panels are available in a range of sizes to cater to most projects. They can be easily cut to fit smaller spaces and fit together seamlessly for larger projects.

What materials are the panels made from?

Our Acupanel® Acoustic Wood panels are made from premium, high-quality materials. We use recycled acoustic felt for the backing, with sustainably sourced, veneered MDF slats attached to the felt. Simple, sustainable design.

Why should I buy from WVH®?

With over five decades of experience in the wood and wood veneer industry, we bring our knowledge and expertise in the area to the design of all our wood products. At WVH®, we strive to provide our customers with quality, accessible products to transform their spaces with ease.

The UK’s original out-of-the-box slat wall panelling solution

Innovation is at our core, as is listening to our clients. They wanted modern wood panelling that was quick to install, and we listened.

Using over 50 years of wood knowledge and expertise, in 2017 we developed the first DIY, wood slat wall panelling solution in the UK. Our simple, yet easy to install wall and ceiling panel was born, and is available today in a range of finishes, to continually upgrade spaces with quality wood textures with ease.

Outstanding, class-A acoustic properties

The panels not only deliver a visually eye-catching wall covering solution, but also bring the added benefit of efficient sound absorption.

Creating an effective home studio, or cinema room is simple. Install the panels onto wooden battens, to improve the acoustic properties of the panels, and achieve class-A sound absorption.

Acupanel® FAQ

How do the panels arrive?

The Acupanel® wall panels are shipped in boxes - if more than one panel is ordered, we pack two panels to a box.

Do the panels come in larger sizes?

All of our panels are available in a 240cm x 60cm size, with a selection of our panels are available in 300cm x 60cm and 360cm x 60cm sizes. Our new 120cm and 200cm shorter panels are also available in select finishes.

How do I install the panels?

If you are looking to obtain a class A sound absorption, then we recommend installing the panels with batons. However, if you would like to have them for decorative purposes while still providing some sound absorption, we recommend screwing the panels directly into the wall through the acoustic felt backing using Black or Grey screws, depending on your choice of backing.

Do you produce custom panel sizes?

We do not currently offer the 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 bigger.

Can the panels be used in a bathroom or kitchen?

The panels will be absolutely fine in these areas, as long as they are not in direct contact with water. We do recommend applying a water-resistant finish to the front of the slats to protect them against any moisture or humidity wherever possible though.

Can the acoustic panels be used outside?

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

What do I do if I have plug sockets, windows or other items to install around?

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.

On which surfaces can I install the panels?

You can mount the panels on all surfaces including brick, concrete and plasterboard.

What is an engineered veneer?

Engineered wood veneer is a man-made veneer, created by layering thin slices of natural wood veneer into a block, and slicing it to create a new grain pattern. It offers a cost-effective, consistent and sustainabe finish compared to solid wood veneer. It's favored for its stability and consistency in appearance, and suitability for various interior applications such as furniture, cabinetry, and wall coverings.

Do the colours of the pictures look like the panels in real life?

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.

How can I hide the edges of the panel?

The panels have been designed to have the edge exposed. When cutting through the slats they are black throughout so an edge will always look like the rest of the panels

Can I hide wires behind the panels?

You certainly can!

Can I apply anything behind the panels to increase sound insulation?

If installing with batons, then you can use mineral wool or other sound insulation material in-between the gaps which will increase the sound absorption properties even more.

Why should I opt for a finished panel?

Finishing natural wood is always recommended—not only for protection but also to enhance its beauty. To save you the hassle of finishing the panels yourself, we now offer a decorative satin oil finish for our Contemporary Oak and Contemporary Walnut panels.

Please note that this is a decorative finish and does not provide protection against water, humidity, heat, or UV light. If the panels will be exposed to any of these elements, we recommend applying a protective finish.

For those who prefer to oil the panels themselves, we strongly recommend using the Acupanel® Premium panels, as they allow you to enhance the wood grain while achieving the best finish.

Do you deliver the panels?

We do, and we offer free delivery to mainland UK for the Acupanel® range! You are also welcome to collect directly from our warehouse.

You can return unused Acupanel® panels within 30 days after delivery.
