Customized Acoustic Wood Slat Panels Direct from Factory

One of the most frequently asked questions before undertaking any acoustic treatment of a space is:   How many acoustic panels do you need in a room? In short—it depends on the specific situation.   The appropriate number of acoustic panels depends on the size, function, layout of the room, and the type of acoustic problem you want to solve.   In this guide, we'll explain it in a clear and practical way to help you make the right decision and avoid over- or under-treating.   The Actual Role (and Limitations) of Acoustic Panels   Before discussing specific numbers, it's important to understand one thing:   Acoustic panels absorb sound reflections.   They reduce echoes and reverberation.   They improve sound clarity and comfort.   They do not completely isolate room noise.   This means you don't need to cover all surfaces to achieve the desired effect.   General Principle: Coverage 20%–30%   The generally accepted guideline in acoustics is:   👉 Cover 20%–30% of the total surface area of ​​walls and ceilings.   Such coverage is sufficient to:   Control reflections   Improve speech intelligibility   Balance music and audio playback   For most residential or commercial spaces, it's rarely necessary to exceed this range.   How Room Size Affects the Number of Acoustic Panels   Small Rooms (Bedrooms, Home Offices)   Typical Area: 10–15 square meters   Recommended Number of Acoustic Panels: 4–8   Key Areas:   First Reflection Point   Wall behind the speaker or desk   Rear Wall   Even a small number of well-placed acoustic panels can bring significant improvement.   Medium-sized rooms (living room, home office)   Typical area: 15–30 square meters   Recommended number of panels: 8–16   Additions:   Side walls   Ceiling panels can be installed if needed   Suitable for larger areas with decorative wood strip acoustic panels   Large rooms (studios, meeting rooms, commercial spaces)   Area: 30 square meters and above   Recommended number of panels: 16 or more   Strategy:   Combined wall and ceiling treatment   Use large-size acoustic panels   Combined use of wood strip panels for both aesthetics and performance   Placement is more important than quantity   Using a small number of panels in appropriate locations is far more effective than randomly covering walls.   Priority placement areas:   First reflection point   Front wall (behind the speaker)   Rear wall (behind the listener)   Ceiling above the listening or working area   This method achieves maximum acoustic effect with minimal materials.   Are there too many acoustic panels?   Yes.   Over-processing the acoustics of a room can lead to:   a lifeless or unnatural sound   excessive high-frequency attenuation   creating an uncomfortable listening environment   Therefore, professional acoustic design focuses on balance, not comprehensive coverage.

As more homeowners, designers, and office planners prioritize acoustic comfort and modern interiors, the demand for acoustic panels is growing rapidly. A common question we hear is: “Does IKEA sell acoustic panels?” The answer is yes, but with limitations—and in this article, we’ll explore what IKEA offers and why professional-grade solutions, like those from Guangdong Liyin Acoustics Technology Co., Ltd. (Leeyin), are often the better choice. What Kind of Acoustic Panels Does IKEA Offer? IKEA does carry a limited range of acoustic products, mainly focused on basic sound-absorbing panels such as: Felt wall panels Acoustic dividers Modular office panels (e.g., from the BEKANT or ODGER series) While IKEA’s options are affordable and easy to install, they are generally designed for visual appeal and minimal sound absorption. These products may provide minor acoustic benefits in small home or office spaces but are not engineered for serious sound control. Why Choose Professional Acoustic Panels Instead? If you're serious about reducing echo, improving sound clarity, or enhancing the acoustic performance of a room, you need products designed with scientific sound absorption in mind.
