Perforated Wood Acoustic Panels for Wall and Ceiling Applications

Murano Perforated Acoustic Wood Panels are a top choice for architects and acoustic engineers seeking high-performance noise control with a sophisticated timber finish. Designed for walls and ceilings, these panels combine aesthetic appeal with proven sound absorption—ideal for educational facilities, boardrooms, multipurpose halls, and public spaces.

Recently installed at multiple RMIT University campuses in Melbourne, Murano perforated timber panels were selected for their ability to meet both acoustic and architectural requirements. The project, led by Six Degrees Architects and Brookfield Multiplex, utilised a mix of Murano panels, plain wood veneers, and Serenity Fabric Acoustic Panels to achieve a modern and functional learning environment.

Murano panels are available in a wide range of perforation diameters including 0.5mm, 1.2mm, 3mm, 6mm, and 9mm. With each hole size offering different NRC ratings, engineers can fine-tune acoustic performance to suit the space. These panels are offered in natural timber veneer, painted, or decorative laminate finishes—compatible with Group 1 and E0 core options for fire and environmental compliance.

Sontext delivers Murano timber panels across Australia, Europe, the Middle East, and the USA. We offer project advice, acoustic test data, and export support worldwide.
