American Oak Acoustic Wall Panels White Backing | 106 x 12 - 2 pieces per box

American Oak Acoustic Wall Panels, White Backing | 94 or 106 x 12 — 2 Pieces per Box

A Warm, Classic Oak Finish With White Felt Backing — Available in 94" and 106" Lengths

Transform any interior wall or ceiling with the American Oak Acoustic Wall Panels in the narrow 12" format — a premium soundproofing panel that delivers the same warm, classic oak finish with a key distinction: white felt backing instead of the standard dark felt. At 12" wide with two panels per box, the narrow slat profile creates more shadow lines per square foot and a finer, more detailed surface texture. The backing is a natural, textured off-white — a warm, slightly dirty white that reads as organic and material-rich rather than stark. It shows through the gaps between slats at certain angles, giving the wall a softer, more cohesive character that dark-backed panels simply can't replicate.

Available in 94" for standard ceiling heights or 106" for taller spaces with fewer visible seams.

The American Oak finish is a warm, medium-toned oak with natural grain variation — not as pale as maple, not as rich as walnut. It's a classic wood tone that works in almost any interior style, from traditional and transitional spaces to modern and Scandinavian-influenced rooms.

Order a sample first to confirm the tone works in your space. Wood veneer finishes vary under different lighting conditions — seeing it in person before ordering full boxes is always the right call.

Built to Improve Your Space — Acoustically and Aesthetically

These panels are engineered to address two problems at once: sound quality and interior design. The high-density white acoustical felt backing absorbs sound reflections, reduces echo and reverberation, and helps contain noise within a room. Meanwhile, the warm American Oak veneer slats add architectural depth and material warmth — with the white backing lending the wall surface a distinctly lighter, more open feel that works especially well in bright, airy rooms.

• Reduces echo and reverberation — improves speech intelligibility and audio quality
• Contains noise within a room — increases privacy in offices, studios, and meeting spaces
• Diffuses sound waves through the slatted panel geometry
• White felt backing produced from recycled material

Why White Backing Makes a Difference

Most acoustic slat panels use dark felt backing — black or charcoal — which creates strong contrast between the slats and the gaps between them. The result is bold, graphic, and high-contrast. The American Oak 12" panels use a natural off-white felt instead. It's not a bright or clean white — it's a warm, slightly textured dirty white that reads as organic and grounded, much like raw linen or natural cotton felt. At certain viewing angles and lighting conditions, this backing becomes visible between the slats, softening the contrast and blending naturally with the warm oak tone above it. For rooms where you want wood warmth without the heaviness of a dark background, or spaces with white or light-colored walls where dark gaps would look disconnected, this is the right choice. Order a sample to see the backing tone in your space before committing.

Installation

Installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools. Panels can be installed three ways:

• Glue-down: Apply construction adhesive directly to the back of the panel and press firmly to the wall surface.
• Screw-down: Drive screws directly through the panel into the wall or ceiling framing.
• Batten mount: Install horizontal wood battens on the wall first, then screw panels to the battens for a raised installation.

Panels can be installed horizontally or vertically, and cut to any shape with a standard saw or utility knife. For walls taller than your chosen panel length, stack panels and offset the seams on each row by half a panel — the result mimics a classic hardwood flooring H-pattern and is virtually seamless. The acoustical felt backing also has enough flexibility to conform to gently curved walls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the American Oak finish?

A: American Oak is a warm, medium-toned oak with natural grain variation — lighter than walnut, warmer than cold oak, and more neutral than maple. It's one of the most classic and versatile wood tones available, working across a wide range of interior styles from traditional to modern.

Q: What's the difference between this and the American Oak 24" wide panel?

A: Same finish, different format. The 12" wide panel creates a finer, more detailed slat pattern with more shadow lines per square foot. Both versions use white felt backing. Choose 24" wide for bolder, higher-coverage impact; choose 12" wide for a more refined, architectural look or for smaller spaces where a wider panel would feel oversized.

Q: Why does this have white backing instead of dark backing?

A: The backing on these panels is a natural off-white — a warm, slightly textured dirty white, not a bright or stark white. It softens the contrast between the oak slats and the gaps between them, giving the wall a lighter and more cohesive appearance. In bright rooms or spaces with light-colored walls and ceilings, this backing integrates more naturally than dark backing would. Order a sample to see the exact backing tone before committing to a full order.

Q: Do these panels actually reduce noise?

A: Yes. The high-density white acoustical felt backing is engineered to absorb sound reflections, reduce echo and reverberation, and help contain noise within a room. These panels improve the acoustic experience of a space without blocking all sound transmission through walls entirely.

Q: Are these panels real wood?

A: The slats are MDF (medium-density fiberboard) wrapped in a premium wood veneer finish — real wood on the surface, engineered core for stability and acoustic performance.

Q: Can these be installed on ceilings?

A: Yes. Screw or batten mount is recommended for ceiling applications — drive fasteners into solid framing. Glue-down alone is not recommended overhead.

Q: Can these panels go on a curved wall?

A: Yes — the acoustical felt backing has enough flexibility to conform to gently curved walls. Customers have successfully installed these on curved feature walls.

Q: What is the difference between the 94" and 106" lengths?

A: Both panels are identical in finish, width, and acoustic performance. The 94" panel fits standard 8’ ceiling heights. The 106" panel is designed for taller spaces and means fewer seams when stacking — a cleaner, more continuous wall surface. Note: 15-box minimum applies to the 106" length.

Q: How much does each box cover?

A: Each box contains 2 panels. The 94" panels cover 15.6 sq ft per box; the 106" panels cover 17.6 sq ft per box. Add 10% for cuts and waste when estimating your total order.

Q: Is there a minimum order?

A: The 106" length has a 15-box minimum order. The 94" length has no minimum — order as many boxes as you need. A $2.99 sample swatch is available for either length before committing to a full order.

Q: Is free shipping included?

A: Yes — free shipping within the contiguous United States.

Q: Do you have a showroom?

A: Yes — 10926 Woodside Ave Suite A, Santee, CA 92071. Monday–Friday, 8am–4pm.
