Do these panels actually reduce noise?

The recycled felt backing absorbs some mid and high frequencies, which takes the edge off echo and room ring. They are absorbers, not a soundproofing barrier, so they won't block noise coming through a shared wall.

How are the panels installed?

Trim each panel to length and width with a saw, then screw it through the felt into the wall. No adhesive or battens are required, though you need to hit studs or use suitable fixings for the wall type.

What are the panels made of?

A laminate wood-look surface on a slatted core, pre-bonded to a rigid recycled felt backing. The laminate is picked for consistent color and grain between panels.

How much wall does one box cover?

Two panels at 94.49 by 12.60 inches each, so roughly 16.5 square feet per box before trimming waste. Measure your wall and add a little for cuts around outlets and corners.

Can I cut them around sockets and switches?

Yes. The panels are designed to be trimmed, so you can notch around outlets and switches with a saw or utility knife. Cut from the back to protect the laminate face.

Do they work in bathrooms or kitchens?

The laminate face resists moisture better than raw wood, but the felt backing and slat gaps can trap steam and grease. Keep them out of direct splash zones and high-humidity wet rooms.
