Wooden acoustic panels are a great option for those looking to decorate, soundproof or accessorise an area of their home or the exterior of their property. There are plenty of variations on the general idea, though all of these options from Hales Sawmills are sustainable, visually pleasing and best of all, crafted with care. Manufactured to specific sizes to fit your exact area, this article will explore the varied uses of our popular wooden acoustic panels, detailing everything from the striking natural appearance, to the noiseproofing properties and how these work within a practical context. Read ahead and compliment your outside space with absorbent or reflective materials.
Why Choose Wood?
As one of the few natural, reusable building materials timber is a type of wood which will always be available thanks to the continuous process of forest harvesting and regeneration. A natural resource, timber is non-toxic, safe to handle and to touch, aging naturally. Despite being a lightweight material for construction, wood outperforms even the sturdiest of man-made materials in terms of breaking length, so it is better able to support its own weight, allowing for larger spaces and fewer supports to be required in many building designs. Though by no means the end of the perks to be found from using wood within a project, timberâs acoustic properties make it ideal for minimising echoes and intrusive sounds. Wood absorbs sound in general, significantly reducing noise levels for additional comfort.
Useful Applications
Whether you opt for absorbent or reflective panels, at Hales Sawmills, we provide versatile wooden options, which retain quality over time. Tested extensively and constructed especially for our customer-base, take a look at a selection of the recommended applications we offer for those who acquire absorbent or reflective panels:
Absorbent
Absorbent acoustic barriers work by cancelling out and muffling any unwanted sounds, with these barriers the perfect solution in order to keep noise in a contained space. Their two-part panel feature absorbs sound with ease, so if youâre looking to reduce intrusive noise from neighbours or other rooms, this may be the best choice for you. One side of the panel is reflective consisting of vertical sawn boards and cover strips, with the other consisting of a protective membrane and rockwool. Suitable for many applications including work in residential and commercial premises, education, transport and industrial use is also a viable alternative. These barriers either come loose in kit form to be constructed onsite or pre fabricated.
Reflective
Similarly versatile depending on your needs, reflective wooden panels work by reflecting noise from their carefully designed surface, which consist of vertical sawn boards and cover strips – secured using horizontal timber rails to minimise any gaps which sound could travel through. They are suitable for many applications similarly to the absorbent variation, and retain a look of recognisable quality and an attention to detail. Paint your panels as you please, retaining the noise-cancelling properties through an innovative design.
Noiseproofing
Our Acoustic fencing works by creating an adequate barrier to disturb and repel any unwanted sound. This can have an extreme effect, noticeably reducing noise levels and minimising any previous disruption. As every setting is different, our in-house team of highly skilled consultants and manufactures can work with you to choose the right noise barriers and acoustic fencing solution to tackle noise and echo. If noise isnât an issue we have a wide range of standard fence panels which are all manufactured on site offering a high quality, long lasting and aesthetically pleasing solution to enclose and enhance any outdoor space.

Installation And Security
Self-installation of post and panel fencing is relatively easy, though secure fencing should be installed by an expert if youâre looking to really prioritise security. If you want to keep your pets, kids and loved ones safe, choosing the correct wooden barriers will ensure youâve considered an important aspect. Cut to size in a conscious effort to fit your perimeter exactly, minimal gaps are present within the design, not only reducing sound, but also minimising access. Fencing is a visible deterrent to criminals and undesirables, with our bulky fencing options tried and tested.
