What is the difference between Acupanel® and Slat-Lite?
Updated over a week ago

In the world of acoustic decor, both Acupanel® and Slat-Lite make their own distinctive mark by blending a modern aesthetic with sound-improving qualities. But it's worth taking a closer look at their unique characteristics, from construction to weight, flexibility, and beyond, to discover the right choice for your specific needs.

In brief: Acupanel® is characterized by its luxurious wood finish applied to MDF, mounted on recycled acoustic felt, and an overall thickness of 19mm, offering robustness and sustainability. Slat-Lite, on the other hand, stands out for its lightweight and flexible design, achieved by applying oak veneer directly to acoustic felt without MDF, and an overall thickness of just 9mm, providing unique design versatility.

Acupanel® shines with its robust and long-lasting design, boasting MDF strips coated in a smooth wood veneer. These strips are expertly affixed to our specially created, eco-friendly acoustic felt material. The result? A 19mm-thick panel that's a testament to contemporary design, sustainability, and top-quality craftsmanship.

On the flip side, Slat-Lite panels are on a mission to be the market's lightest and most adaptable. With no MDF in sight, these panels feature an oak wood veneer adhered straight onto the acoustic felt, crafting a noticeably thinner, 9mm-thick panel. Besides their lighter weight, Slat-Lite's secret weapon is their impressive flexibility, offering endless creative possibilities by effortlessly bending around curves.
