Some Facts About Timber Ceiling Panels

Posted by Gerald Hynes on July 10th, 2019

Designers work to create interiors that inspire, beautify, provide comfort, while of course working to a budget. The overall style of the finished product is naturally of prime importance, but the space also needs to function as intended. Acoustics - or to put it another way, interior sound quality -  is an often overlooked element in the design process. Apart from the walls and floors, the ceilings can provide an opportunity to add features to the finished interior, such as sound absorption, that will enhance the overall comfort of occupants of the space. In fact, talking about sound optimisation, ceilings can change the game altogether. There are many options, but timber ceiling panels   provide all the qualities stated here.

More About Ceiling Panels

For this purpose, ceiling panels can fall into two groups - those that purely provide aesthetic appeal, and those that not only look good, but will absorb sound. Timber ceiling panels fit this second category. For example, Murano Timber Ceiling Panels in Australia, manufactured by Sontext, are made either perforated or slotted to allow sound waves to pass through into a sound absorbing insulator installed behind. The resulting system therefore not only provides the look of beautiful natural timber, but functions as an absorber of reverberation or unwanted sound. 

Benefits

These panels can offer numerous benefits:

• Timber panels are robust, sturdy and long lasting. Since timber is a strong material, you can use timber ceiling panels for a lifetime.
• They can provide a modern yet classic feel. Timber panels can be easily cleaned, or even refinished with a simple coat of lacquer.
• Provide a permanent solution to reverberation, or echo..
• The panel systems are easy to install, clean and maintain.
• They  minimise unwanted sound with greater efficiency than hard, reflective surfaces.
• Improved sound quality for speech or presenters and audiences in the space.
• Available in varied finishes, sizes and perforation formats to match with existing interiors, such as natural wood veneers, laminates, or even painted finishes.
• Available in different styles, these panels are recyclable.
