Why a wall with slats is a smart upgrade today
A targeted upgrade can cut noise and lift the room’s style in a single afternoon. We offer solutions that improve speech clarity, add a warm accent, and stand up to daily use across Alabama and Mississippi.
Acoustic benefits: reduce echo and improve speech clarity
Sound-dampening panels use felt backing to break reverberation and absorb mid-to-high frequencies. That reduces echo in open concept space and noisy rooms, so conversations are clearer.
We provide Good, Better, and Best coverage options to match a room’s noise profile and processing needs.
Design impact: a modern accent wall with natural warmth
The natural wood veneer creates an instant accent that complements many decor styles. A single feature behind seating or a TV often fixes echo and upgrades the look without overwhelming the room.
Built to last: USA‑made panels designed for everyday use
Our panels are manufactured in the United States for consistent quality and code compatibility. The common 25.2 in x 94.49 in format speeds processing and alignment, saving time on site.
- Durable construction that holds up over years in homes and retail places.
- Modular sizes for predictable measuring and faster installation.
- Placement tips: behind seating, along reflective surfaces, or near hard floor transitions for the biggest effect.
Plan your project: space, style, and budget
Start your plan by choosing which room will benefit most from improved acoustics and style. We support both residential and commercial projects across Alabama and Mississippi and help you scope the right products for your budget and time.
Choose the room and target area. Decide whether the living room, retail area, garage, or office is the best place to start. Pinpoint the single most reflective wall or an entire run that changes the space’s function daily.
Accent feature vs full coverage
Accent features deliver big design impact with less material and cost. Full runs or balanced coverage improve sound more evenly across larger walls.
- We clarify your goals and map which wall matters most for daily use.
- We translate acoustic needs into coverage options and processing plans.
- We recommend when to order ceiling sets and how to round up quantities to avoid shortages.
- We align product choices by traffic, finish, and expected lifespan for each room.
Time and phasing. If time is limited, start on the most reflective surface and add another set later. Our Balanced and Max recommendations guide scope, and ceiling products are sold in sets that must be rounded up during ordering.
Selecting the right slat wall and acoustic panels
Choosing the right panels sets the tone for both sound and style in any room. We offer USA-made products in a common 25.2 in x 94.49 in format for predictable processing and faster installation.
Wood species and finishes
Oak and walnut veneers come in Oak/Black, Oak/Latte, and Walnut to match grain and tone. Paint-ready fluted panels give you options for exact color matching or a crisp architectural look.
Acoustic felt backing
Panels designed with felt backing absorb up to 55% of sound waves when placed on the most reflective surfaces. That makes a measurable difference for speech clarity in living rooms, lobbies, and retail spaces.
Accessories and add-ons
- Trim pieces and edge caps for neat seams and transitions during processing.
- Shelves and hooks that integrate cleanly for retail displays, garages, or offices.
- Durable face options for high-traffic corridors versus statement-grade faces for accent areas.
Ordering tip: Confirm panel heights against doors and windows, verify processing lead times, and order to arrive in one shipment for a smooth install.
Measure like a pro: wall units, ceiling units, and coverage
Accurate measurements are the foundation of a smooth install and a correct order. We guide you through simple takeoffs so your order arrives complete and processing stays on schedule.
Quick measuring workflow:
- Measure height and width in three spots. Use a tape or digital tool and note variations.
- Convert total square footage to panel units using the nominal 25.2 in x 94.49 in size.
- Plan a small buffer per box for outlets, returns, and odd corners.
Ceiling planning and rounding
Ceiling products sell by set, so always round up to avoid gaps. Check joist directions, fixture clearances, and transitions before you finalize quantities.
Balanced vs Max coverage
Balanced coverage reduces echo while using fewer panels. Max coverage targets full dampening for loud rooms. We show expected installation time per room and how to break long runs for staging directly wall.
Use our quick checklist to turn measurements into an itemized order and keep processing, delivery, and installation on track.
Tools and materials checklist for a clean install
Gathering the right gear before you start saves hours and avoids costly mistakes. We make it easy to collect supplies so your install stays efficient and on schedule.
Core tools: tape measure, level, stud finder, fine‑tooth saw, drill/driver, and a sharp utility knife for felt and outlet cutouts. These items keep cuts crisp and alignment exact.
Fasteners and hardware: black screws, anchors, and studs
Use black screws to fasten to studs for the cleanest look against dark felt. Where studs aren’t available, pick anchors matched to your substrate. Customers report the panels accept direct fastening when proper fasteners are used.
- Layout aids: laser or chalk line to keep runs straight and rhythm consistent.
- Staging: lay panels flat and acclimate them to the room for a couple of days before installation.
- Safety and cleanup: gloves, eye protection, dust mask, packing disposal planning, and floor protection to speed on‑site processing.
Pro tip: Pre‑sort panels by section, label cuts, and keep a small hardware assortment on hand. That saves time and prevents delays during processing and installation.
Installation guide: how to mount panels directly to the wall
A clean layout and a few simple habits cut installation time and give a pro-level finish.
We begin by snapping level lines and marking studs so every panel lands straight when fastened directly wall.
- Dry-fit the first panel to set the visual rhythm and confirm edge reveals before final fastening.
- Pre-drill pilot holes through the felt where needed, then drive screws into studs using black fasteners for a low‑profile look.
- Check alignment at each seam and adjust slightly to avoid cumulative error as you move across the run.
- Handle outlets by tracing boxes, cutting felt cleanly, and trimming the wood face with a fine-tooth blade so plates sit flush.
- Use a block when pressing panels to protect the face and keep pressure even to prevent dents or splinters.
Stage panels and tools nearby to reduce steps and speed processing. Keep fastener spacing consistent and confirm no screw heads show through the felt line of sight.
We move methodically across the space, rechecking level and plumb every few panels. Finish by vacuuming dust and inspecting seams in raking light to ensure a uniform slat wall and a polished final processing.
Finishing details that elevate the look and feel
The final details are what make a feature feel intentional and built-in. We help you choose trims, transitions, and finishes that deliver a refined, custom appearance without complicating installation or maintenance.
Edge trims and transitions: Frame the field with trim where panels meet drywall, tile, or windows. Trims protect edges and give a crisp, lasting look that customers praise.
Edge trims, outlets, and seamless panel transitions
Plan outlet and switch placements so cuts align to the slat spacing and preserve visual rhythm on the accent wall. Stagger seams and feather transitions to create a continuous pattern across adjacent panels.
- Use edge trim or mitered corners for tight inside and outside transitions.
- Label cuts and keep organized offcuts to speed on-site processing.
- Do a raking-light inspection to catch proud edges or small gaps before finishing.
Fluted and paint‑ready design options for custom finishes
Paint-ready fluted panels offer exact color control and simple priming of cut edges for a consistent finish. Fluted designs add depth and architectural texture while installing the same way as other panel options.
Maintenance and final tips: Gentle dusting keeps wood faces crisp. Remove plates carefully when repainting and do a final pass in raking light to ensure a polished look that reads built-in, not applied.
Tuning your acoustics: placement, spacing, and ceiling integration
Sound control starts by placing panels where they stop first reflections, not by covering every surface. We guide you to a mix that gives noticeable gains without overbuying. Good, Better, and Best tiers scale absorption and cost to your room’s needs.
Good, better, best coverage strategies for noise control
Good coverage offers subtle improvement by treating opposite speakers and a single long blank area. Better places more panels around listening zones for clear speech. Best targets full dampening, combining face panels and ceiling sets for maximum control.
- Placement: intercept first reflections—opposite sources, near hard surfaces, and along long runs for big impact.
- Spacing: wider gaps add diffusion; tighter runs increase absorption. Choose based on how lively you want the space to feel.
- Ceiling integration: ceiling products sell in sets and should be rounded up for clean seams. Combine ceiling and wall units for balanced results and avoid over‑treating.
Factor in rugs, drapery, and furniture so panels designed for absorption work together with soft goods. Test progress with clap tests and speech checks. Leave room to add a small ceiling run or a secondary face later if needs change.
