Do these panels actually reduce echo?

The felt backing absorbs some mid and high frequencies, which softens echo and flutter in rooms with hard floors and bare walls. They are not a substitute for thick dedicated acoustic panels in a studio.

Can I install them myself?

Yes. The panels are designed for a simple DIY installation on flat walls or ceilings. You need a level surface, a saw for cuts around outlets and corners, and a suitable adhesive or fixing method.

Will every panel look the same?

No. The slats use real smoked oak veneer, so tone, texture and grain differ between panels. Lay them out dry before fixing so the variation reads as intended.

Can they go in a bathroom or kitchen?

Real wood veneer and felt are sensitive to moisture and steam. Keep them in dry interior rooms unless the space is well ventilated and splashes are kept away.

Can they be used on a ceiling?

Yes, the panels are made for walls and ceilings. On a ceiling the fixing method matters more, so use a mechanical fixing suited to the substrate rather than relying on adhesive alone.
