Crafted for Acoustic Performance
Murano panels are engineered using advanced perforation techniques developed globally to maximise sound absorption and reduce reverberation. Each panel face is laminated or coated before being precision-routed to achieve the required decorative pattern.
The MDF substrate is optionally perforated behind the decorative face to allow sound to pass through and be absorbed by the acoustic core, ensuring both form and function are maintained.
