Acoustic Wood Slat Wall Panels

NORDAN acoustic slat panels come pre-assembled, so you hang a whole panel instead of fitting slats one by one. Each MDF slat is wrapped on the front and both sides in a wood-grain finish and mounted on an acoustic felt backing made with 50% recycled PET. Pick from five finishes and two panel sizes for a full wall, a TV accent wall or the space behind your bed. Not sure which color? Start with the $9.99 sample box.

What's in a NORDAN slat panel

MDF slats with a wood-grain finish. The finish wraps the front and both sides of every slat, so you see the same grain from any angle, and color and grain stay consistent from panel to panel.

Acoustic felt backing. The slats are fixed to the felt from the back with small black U-shaped staples, so the gaps between slats show felt, not the wall. The felt contains 50% recycled PET.

Formaldehyde tested. The MDF components were tested by Intertek to the EPA TSCA Title VI formaldehyde emission standard and passed, with results from not detected to 0.040 ppm against a 0.11 ppm limit.

Quick box count for Long Panels: divide your wall width in inches by 11.02, round up, then divide by 2 for boxes. A 10 ft (120″) wide wall needs 11 panels, or 6 boxes. Stacking Short Panels on a tall wall adds a horizontal seam. For more layouts, see how many panels you need.

Five NORDAN finishes photographed together: Teak, Black, Oak, Walnut and Dark Walnut

Five finishes

  • Walnut: a soft gray-brown
  • Dark Walnut: a deep chocolate brown
  • Teak: a warm, reddish mid-brown
  • Oak: a light, natural wood tone
  • Black: black with a wood-grain texture

Screens show color differently, so we suggest ordering the sample box and checking the finishes in your own light. Panels in one order come from the same production batch, so it helps to order everything for a wall at once. More tips in our color guide.

Effective sound absorption

The acoustic felt backing absorbs sound to reduce echo and reverberation, for a quieter, calmer room. Sound absorption tested by SGS, an independent lab.

Installation at a glance

  • Mount the panels with construction adhesive or screws. One person can install most walls.
  • Cut a whole panel to size with a saw, then trim the felt edge if needed, to fit height, width or corners.
  • For even better sound absorption, screw the panels onto timber battens with mineral wool between them.

Step-by-step instructions are in the installation guide.

FAQ

What are slat wall panels?

Panels made of vertical slats with narrow gaps between them, mounted on a backing so you install a section at a time. Ours use MDF slats on an acoustic felt backing.

What are NORDAN panels made of?

MDF slats wrapped on three sides in a wood-grain finish, mounted on an acoustic felt backing. You get a warm wood look with consistent color from panel to panel.

How many boxes do I need?

For Long Panels, divide your wall width in inches by 11.02, round up, and divide by 2. A 10 ft wide wall takes 6 boxes. Full guide.

How do the panels arrive?

Pre-assembled and ready to mount. Long Panels come 2 per box and Short Panels 4 per box.

Can I cut the panels?

Yes. Cut through the whole panel with a saw and trim the felt edge if needed.

What if I need to fit around outlets or windows?

Measure and mark the area, then cut the panel with a saw and trim the felt as needed. The same method works for corners.

How can I get more sound absorption?

Leave an air gap behind the panels. In SGS lab testing, a 21 mm version of the panel installed with a 100 mm (about 4 in) air gap reached sound absorption Class B.

Can I order samples first?

Yes. The sample box has all five finishes for $9.99 with free shipping. After your sample order, you get a one-time code worth the sample price to use on a qualifying panel order within 60 days.
