Black Acoustic Slat Wood Paneling for Soundproofing Walls — 12" Wide, 2 Pieces per Box
A Bold, Uniform Black Acoustic Panel — Available in 94" and 106" Lengths
Transform any interior wall or ceiling with the Black Acoustic Slat Wood Panels in the narrow 12" format — a premium soundproofing panel delivering a deep, uniform black surface across every slat that holds its look under any lighting condition. At 12" wide with two panels per box, these panels offer a narrower, more refined slat profile that creates a finer texture pattern on the wall — more shadow lines, more visual depth, more intentionality per square foot.
Choose 94" for standard ceiling heights or 106" for taller spaces with fewer seams. Both come with the same high-density black acoustical felt backing for real sound absorption and noise reduction.
Order a sample first to confirm the finish works in your space — seeing it under your actual lighting 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 black acoustical felt backing absorbs sound reflections, reduces echo and reverberation, and helps contain noise within a room. The Black finish and narrow 12" slat profile create a surface that commands attention in high-design interiors — whether that's a home theater, executive office, recording studio, or upscale commercial space.
- 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
- Black felt backing produced from recycled material
Why Black in the 12" Format
The combination of Black finish and 12" narrow width creates a panel with more visual detail per square foot than any other option in the lineup. The narrower slats mean more shadow lines across the wall surface — a tighter, more graphic texture that reads as higher-end than wider panels at the same scale. The Black finish ensures every slat is consistently, uniformly dark, with no variation or uneven toning that can appear in lesser black finishes. The 106" length option means you can cover a standard 9’ wall with a single panel run, with no stacking seams visible from eye level — a seamless look that's nearly impossible to achieve with shorter panels.

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 difference between the 94" and 106" lengths?
A: Both panels are identical in finish, width, and acoustic performance. The 94" panel is designed for standard 8’ ceiling heights. The 106" panel covers a standard 9’ wall in a single run — no stacking seams visible from eye level — making it the better choice for taller spaces where a completely continuous wall surface matters. Note: 15-box minimum applies to the 106" length.
Q: Why would I choose the 12" wide panel?
A: The 12" width creates a finer, more detailed slat pattern — more shadow lines per square foot and a lighter visual scale that works better in smaller rooms, on ceilings, in hallways, or any space where a wider panel would feel oversized. It's also the better choice when you want the panel surface to read as high-detail rather than bold and blocky.
Q: Do these panels actually reduce noise?
A: Yes. The high-density black 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) with a premium Black finish — an engineered core built for dimensional 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: 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.
