Sometimes plain walls just don’t cut it. Whether this is due to a lack of character, or even the need to upgrade the acoustic properties of the room, it’s fair to say wood panels can solve these interior design challenges and more. 

If you’ve never installed wall panels before, you might be keen to learn more about them before adding them to your home or commercial environment. The wood panel experts at WoodWall are here to share their top insights with you in this post, so that you can learn everything you need to know. 

While some of the following benefits can apply to all wall panel styles, our key highlights for this post will focus on the acoustic wood wall slat wall panels that we sell here at WoodWall. 

Acoustic Enhancement

Contemporary slatted wood wall panels have a thick material backing which works to absorb sound, therefore reducing reverb or echo in a room. When installed behind TVs, speakers or similar media units, this can enhance the sound quality of your programs and music. 

Even for conversations held in the room, acoustic wall panels ensure the sound doesn’t bounce around. This enhancement can especially benefit open place spaces, along with minimalist rooms that lack soft surfaces or furniture to cushion the noise. Reducing reverb or echo can also be beneficial if you record any kind of audio content in the room. 

Cost-Effective

The beauty of wall panels is that they cost far less to purchase and install than you might think. Whether you are looking to undertake a grand renovation or a budget-friendly makeover of your space, wall panels truly suit all projects. 

With our wood wall panels especially, they are shipped to you readymade to install. Therefore, there are no materials to source or intricate construction to contend with as is the case with traditional wall panels. 

Since you only need to be a competent DIYer to install acoustic wall panels, this can also save you money compared with having to hire the likes of builders and joiners. 

Hides Wall Defects

Minor defects on a wall can mean the wall doesn’t offer what’s known as a ‘paint ready finish’. This can include the likes of dents, scuffs and scrapes. Usually, you’d need to redo the plastering and redecorate to achieve a nice looking wall which can result in lots of mess, not to mention extra costs.

However, if the damage to the walls is purely cosmetic and you don’t have the time, patience or budget to professionally resurface your walls, acoustic wall panels can instantly conceal any defects. With slatted wood walls especially, they also create a highly attractive design which adds more visual interest than a painted wall would anyway! 

Highly Versatile

Wall panels can be installed in an endless number of interior settings, including residential and commercial environments. If that wasn’t enough, some wall panels such as acoustic wall panels can even be installed on the ceiling too. 

While far from exhaustive, some ideas of where to install wall panels include staircases, hallways, living rooms, TV rooms, kitchens, offices, gaming rooms, reception areas, hotel rooms and spas.

Increases Property Value

When you invest in your property, including by adding wall panels, it inevitably shows the property has been subject to care and attention. As a result, your home will likely appeal more to buyers, especially compared to properties that haven’t had any work done to them for quite some time. 

There’s no fixed ROI on accent walls or full wall panel designs in terms of increased property value. However, there is no doubt that wall panels can seriously elevate the feel of a home. In particular, when installed as part of a wider overhaul, wall panels can add a stunning finishing touch to the room, especially when modern acoustic wood wall slat panelling has been used. 

Instant Style Upgrade

Wall panels improve the look of the room the second they are installed. With acoustic slat wood wall panels especially, it is simply a case of installing your chosen design section by section. Therefore it takes minimal effort to achieve your dream look. 

Overall, when you are searching for ideas on how to jazz up the look of boring walls or even dated spaces, wall panels can instantly lift the look of the room without having to undertake a costly or messy renovation. 

Protects The Wall From Damage

In high traffic areas of your home or commercial building, wall panels can be added to create an extra layer of protection from scruffs or scrapes. For instance, walls that run along a set of stairs or within office seating areas. Crucially, wall panels can be installed either as a full or partial wall design, allowing you to achieve the exact amount of wall coverage that’s needed. 

Readymade Design

Wall panels and particularly slatted wood wall panels arrive as shown when you order them. Consider every other type of renovation work such as extending, plastering, rendering or painting, and very few interior upgrades can be achieved as easily! 

Acoustic wood wall panels are designed to interlock with each other, meaning they are simple to cut down and install onto the wall. Therefore, there is no excessive mess, disruption or expense with these types of wall panels. 

Renter Friendly

As a property developer, you need to think carefully about interior design, especially when it comes to choosing low maintenance, long lasting materials and finishes.

Wall panels do not require any special attention from your tenants, and are also designed to offer longevity. Opting for acoustic wall panels will also improve the acoustics of the room, while also creating a degree of soundproofing compared with standard bare walls. 

Adding wall panels also creates a more homely feel, which can also be difficult to achieve in property flips or rentals. 

Zoning For Open Plan Spaces

Open plan kitchens, living rooms or offices provide the freedom of movement. However, these spaces can prove troublesome to decorate, especially when it comes to establishing different zones for various activities. 

Whether installed as a full or partial wall design, wall panels draw the eye to provide visual interest where needed. The effect can break up the look of blank walls, and in the case of acoustic panels can also provide enhanced sound quality for any audio devices or conversations.
