In both commercial and residential settings, wood ceiling panels offer a rare combination of acoustic function and architectural beauty. When hard surfaces reflect sound, it can lead to excessive reverberation and echo. Installing timber ceiling panels helps absorb sound energy, creating a quieter, more comfortable space — whether it’s a classroom, courtroom, or conference hall.
At Sontext, our Murano timber ceiling panels are designed to control noise while enhancing the visual appeal of any room. They’re especially effective in spaces where acoustics and design are equally important. Used in seminar rooms, libraries, reception areas and large commercial interiors, they offer a refined finish backed by proven performance.
Acoustics That Complement Architecture
Sontext timber ceiling panels are available in grooved, slotted, or perforated face profiles — each engineered to absorb different sound frequencies. These systems work by converting sound energy into heat as it passes through the panel, effectively reducing echo and background noise. They can be installed as part of a suspended ceiling system or direct-fixed over existing surfaces.
The natural finish of timber adds warmth and character to interior design. Veneered or lacquered surfaces can be matched to joinery, wall panels, or furniture for a consistent architectural result.
Choosing the Right Timber Panel
Selecting an acoustic ceiling panel involves more than just aesthetics. Performance, fire compliance, and mounting conditions all factor into the correct product choice. That’s why Sontext works closely with designers and acoustic engineers to specify the right solution for each project.
Our team offers technical guidance, finish samples, and CAD drawings where required. From project concept to final installation, we help ensure your wood ceiling panels deliver lasting performance and visual impact.
