A Cost vs. Quality Comparison by Leeyin Acoustics

When it comes to soundproofing or acoustic treatment, many business owners and contractors wonder:
“Is it cheaper to make your own acoustic panels?”

While DIY acoustic panels may seem like a cost-saving option, there are several factors to consider—materials, time, labor, performance, and aesthetics. At Guangdong Liyin Acoustics Technology Co., Ltd., we specialize in wood slat wall panels and high-performance acoustic panel systems, offering factory-direct quality and value that often outmatch the DIY route.

🧰 DIY Acoustic Panels: Pros and Cons

✅ Pros:

• Lower upfront material costs (wood, fabric, insulation).

• Customizable to some extent.

❌ Cons:

• Time-consuming: Cutting, assembling, and covering panels takes hours or days.

• Inconsistent performance: DIY panels often lack proper NRC ratings.

• Limited fire safety: Homemade panels may not meet building code standards.

• Unprofessional appearance: DIY options rarely achieve a polished, architectural-grade finish.

💡 The True Cost of DIY vs. Factory-Made Panels

➡️ While DIY might seem “cheaper” on paper, factory-made acoustic panels provide better long-term value, especially for commercial and B2B applications.

When designing a modern interior, functionality and aesthetics often go hand-in-hand. Acoustic wall panels—especially stylish wood slat acoustic panels—have become a popular choice for improving sound quality while elevating the look of a space. But a common question arises: Can you hang a TV directly into an acoustic wall panel?

The Short Answer: It Depends on the Panel Structure

While acoustic panels are designed to manage sound reflections and improve acoustics, they are not typically engineered to bear the full weight of heavy objects like a television. Most acoustic wall panels, including those produced by Guangdong Liyin Acoustics Technology Co., Ltd. (Leeyin) , feature a PET felt backing and decorative wooden slats—excellent for sound absorption, but not intended as a structural support surface.

What You Should Know Before Mounting a TV

Here are the key considerations:

1. Check the Wall Behind the Panel

Acoustic panels are usually mounted on solid surfaces like drywall, brick, or concrete. If the underlying wall is structurally sound and capable of supporting a TV, then mounting through the panel into the wall is generally safe. In this case, longer mounting screws can be used to reach the solid wall beneath the panel.

2. Use a Reinforced Mounting Strategy

To ensure safety and durability, it’s recommended to:

• Locate wall studs or install mounting brackets directly into the structural wall.

• Pre-cut the acoustic panel or leave a space in the panel layout for the TV mount.

• Use a TV mounting plate or frame to distribute the load more evenly if you're concerned about damaging the panel surface.

3. Don’t Rely Solely on the Acoustic Panel

Even though our wood slat acoustic panels are high-quality and durable, they are not designed to hold significant weight on their own. Always anchor the load to the wall behind the panel, not the panel itself.

How to Hide Wires Behind Acoustic Panels: A Clean and Professional Finish

In today’s design-forward environments—whether residential, commercial, or hospitality spaces—clean aesthetics matter. While acoustic wall panels are primarily used for sound absorption and interior elegance, they can also serve a dual function: concealing electrical wires and cables for a neat, polished look.

At Guangdong Liyin Acoustics Technology Co., Ltd., (Leeyin)  we specialize in manufacturing high-quality wood slat acoustic panels with PET felt backing. As a leading exporter in China, we not only understand acoustic performance—but also how design practicality, like cable management, plays a key role in modern interiors.

Why Hide Wires Behind Acoustic Panels?

Visible wires from TVs, speakers, LED lighting, or office equipment can ruin an otherwise flawless wall design. Hiding wires behind acoustic panels:

• Maintains a clean, minimalist aesthetic

• Prevents tangling and potential hazards

• Enhances the professional look of commercial and B2B environments

---

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Hide Wires Behind Acoustic Panels

1. Plan the Layout in Advance

Before installing your panels, identify all the devices that require wiring—TVs, wall-mounted lights, sound systems, etc. Create a cable route map along the wall surface.

2. Use Cable Conduits or Channels

Mount plastic or metal wire conduits along the cable path on the wall. This protects the cables and ensures they don’t come into direct contact with the back of the panels.

3. Choose Panels with PET Felt Backing

Liyin’s wood slat acoustic panels feature a PET felt backing that’s flexible and easy to work with, allowing small gaps between the panel and wall for cable routing without visible bulging or misalignment.

4. Cut Channels in the Felt or Slat (If Needed)

For thicker cables or specific outlets, you may carefully cut small channels in the PET backing or slats to accommodate wire passage. Always use proper tools and maintain panel integrity.

5. Secure the Wires Behind the Panel

Once the wiring is in place:

• Fix the cables with zip ties or adhesive clips behind the mounting battens or wall structure.

• Mount the acoustic panels over the cables, making sure they sit flush with the wall.

6. Access Points and Maintenance

If future access is needed, you can leave removable panel sections or design hidden openings behind larger electronics or furniture.

 A Guide to Standard Dimensions and Custom Options

Akupanels—also known as wood slat acoustic panels—have become a popular design solution for those looking to combine style and sound control in modern interiors. Whether you're a homeowner, architect, or interior designer, understanding the standard size of Akupanels is essential for accurate project planning.

In this article, we’ll answer the common question:
What size is the Akupanel?
We’ll also explore why working with Guangdong Liyin Acoustics Technology Co., Ltd. (leeyin)  gives you the flexibility and reliability you need when sourcing premium-quality wood slat acoustic panels.

---

📏 Standard Akupanel Dimensions

The most commonly accepted standard size for Akupanel products is:

• Height: 2400 mm (94.5 inches)

• Width: 600 mm (23.6 inches)

• Thickness: 21 mm (0.83 inches)

This size is ideal for floor-to-ceiling applications in most residential and commercial interiors. It allows for quick installation, minimal waste, and a seamless modern look when multiple panels are installed side by side.

At Liyin Acoustics, our Akupanels are designed with these universal dimensions in mind, ensuring compatibility across various markets and project types.

---

🛠️ Material Composition and Build

Liyin Akupanels consist of three core components:

• Solid or veneered MDF slats

When designing an acoustically balanced space—whether a home studio, office, or entertainment room—acoustic panels play a key role in controlling sound reflections, echo, and overall room clarity. But one of the most common questions we hear from customers is:

👉 “Should I cover the entire wall with acoustic panels?”

The answer isn’t always “yes”—and here’s why.

---

✅ The Purpose of Acoustic Panels

Acoustic panels are not just for decoration—they’re engineered to:

• Absorb sound reflections

• Reduce echo and reverberation

• Improve speech clarity

• Enhance listening experience in music studios, theaters, and living spaces

Unlike soundproofing materials (which block sound), acoustic panels improve sound quality within a space by managing how sound behaves.

---

📏 Do You Really Need to Cover the Entire Wall?

In most cases, no—you don’t need to cover the whole wall. Here's what matters more:

1. Room Size & Purpose

• Home studios, control rooms, or podcast setups may benefit from broader coverage to minimize reflections.

• Living rooms or offices often require strategic placement on reflection points rather than full-wall treatment.

2. Reflection Zones Matter Most

Focus on the first reflection points, which are the surfaces where sound bounces before reaching your ears. These include:

• Behind and beside speakers

• Opposite walls

• Ceiling (sometimes overlooked!)

3. Balanced Coverage Yields Better Results

Overcovering a space can lead to a “dead” room—lacking natural liveliness and warmth. A mix of absorption and reflection is ideal.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to calculate the number of acoustic panels needed — while also showcasing how our PET-backed E0 MDF wood slat panels combine function with aesthetics.

Why Acoustic Panels in the Bedroom?

Bedrooms are meant to be quiet, peaceful retreats — but poor acoustics can lead to echo, noise disturbances, and reduced privacy. Acoustic panels:

• Absorb mid-to-high frequency noise

• Minimize echo and reverberation

• Improve sleep quality and voice clarity

• Enhance overall comfort and interior design

---

The General Rule: 15% to 30% Wall Coverage

For residential spaces like bedrooms, covering 15% to 30% of the total wall area with acoustic panels is typically enough to make a noticeable difference.

🧮 Step-by-Step Panel Estimate:

1. Measure your room (Length × Width × Height)

   • For example: A 4m × 3m × 2.5m room has 32 m² of wall space (not counting windows/doors).

2. Calculate 20–25% of that surface

   • 32 m² × 25% = 8 m² of acoustic panel coverage

3. Panel size consideration

   • If using standard 2400mm × 600mm wood slat panels (1.44 m² each), you'll need about 5–6 panels.

---

Room Size Guide (Estimate Only)

Note: Exact needs vary depending on ceiling height, furniture, carpeting, and wall texture.

Where to Place the Panels?

To get the most out of your panels:

• Place them behind the bed or on side walls for primary absorption.

• Use corner placement to minimize bass buildup.

• Consider adding ceiling panels if you have high or echo-prone ceilings.

🔍 Common Disadvantages of Acoustic Wall Panels

1. Limited Soundproofing Capability

Acoustic panels absorb sound, but they do not fully block sound from traveling between rooms. If you're aiming for complete sound isolation (e.g., to stop noise from entering or leaving a space), you’ll need additional soundproofing materials such as mass-loaded vinyl, double-layered drywall, or insulation.

💡 Tip from Liyin: Our PET-backed wood slat panels are excellent at reducing echo and reverberation, but we always advise clients to combine them with soundproofing strategies for full isolation.

---

2. Higher Initial Cost for Quality Panels

High-performance acoustic panels made with sustainable materials like E0 MDF and recycled PET felt can cost more than low-quality foam alternatives. However, they offer better durability, safety, and aesthetic value.

💡 Why Choose Liyin: As a direct manufacturer with a 20,000 m² facility, we provide factory-direct pricing, custom finishes, and OEM/ODM services to ensure you get premium value without inflated costs.

---

3. Installation May Require Planning

For optimal acoustic performance, panel placement matters. Installing acoustic panels incorrectly — for example, placing them in random spots — may result in limited effectiveness. Additionally, installation on certain surfaces (e.g., concrete or glass) may require professional tools or adhesives.

💡 Liyin Solution: Our panels are designed for easy installation, whether you prefer glue, screws, or mounting systems. Our team also provides guidance on best practices for placement.

---

4. Wall Coverage Is Often Partial

Some users expect complete acoustic transformation with minimal panel coverage. In reality, you may need to treat 20–40% of wall surfaces for noticeable results, especially in larger or more echo-prone rooms.

💡 Expert Tip: Liyin offers acoustic design support for determining the ideal panel quantity and layout based on your room size and purpose.

---

5. Not Always Suitable for Humid Environments

Acoustic panels made with MDF may not be ideal for areas with excessive moisture (e.g., bathrooms or outdoor spaces), as long-term humidity exposure can affect the integrity of the wood core.

💡 Our Material Choice: We use E0-grade MDF combined with PET felt, ensuring low formaldehyde emissions and enhanced structural stability. For special projects, we can also offer custom water-resistant solutions.

---

🎯 Why These Disadvantages Shouldn’t Deter You

 

While there are some limitations, the advantages of acoustic wall panels far outweigh the drawbacks — especially when you choose a trusted supplier like Guangdong Liyin Acoustics Technology Co., Ltd. With the right planning and quality materials, you can create a space that is both acoustically optimized and visually stunning.
