Acoustic Wall Panels

Acoustic Wall Panels for Kitchens & Bathrooms – Where Style Meets Sound Control

MGN Builders Merchants offers a curated selection of acoustic wall panels crafted to meet the demands of moisture-prone areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and utility spaces. Whether you're looking to soften harsh echoes in an open-plan layout or add texture to a splash zone, these panels combine form and function seamlessly.

Each board is made from vertical timber slat wall panels mounted on acoustic felt backing. Together, they reduce reverberation while adding warmth and visual depth. Unlike tiled surfaces or painted walls, acoustic panels arrive pre-finished, making them a cleaner, quicker solution with no priming, sealing, or drying time required.

According to mgnbm.co.uk, they’re especially effective in kitchens with hard floors and high ceilings, or in bathrooms where steam makes traditional decorative finishes more difficult to maintain.

Installation: Clean and Straightforward

One of the biggest advantages of these panels is how easy they are to fit, even for DIYers. Panels can be installed by either:

• Fixing to timber battens with screws (ideal for uneven walls)

• Applying directly to a flat, dry surface using strong grab adhesive

To cut acoustic wall panels, a fine-tooth hand saw or circular saw works best, especially when trimming around sockets, tiles, or skirting. Because the felt backing prevents fraying, cuts stay neat and edges remain sharp with minimal finishing required.

mgnbm.co.uk recommends testing your layout with temporary battens or dry-fitting before final adhesive application, particularly useful in corners or feature zones like splashbacks or vanity surrounds.

Not Just Decorative – What These Panels Actually Do

Acoustic panels are more than a visual upgrade. In kitchens, they minimise clatter from appliances, voices, and cookware. In bathrooms, they mute echo and add warmth to tiled spaces. When placed correctly, these panels absorb sound energy and break up reflections that typically bounce off hard walls, improving comfort in everyday routines.

• In a kitchen-diner, place panels near dining areas to absorb conversation noise

• In bathrooms, panels can be mounted away from direct water exposure

• For open-plan layouts, use panels on central dividing walls or full-height features

Style Options for Any Interior Scheme

From soft wood tones to black acoustic wall panels with gold highlights, the collection allows you to personalise any space, whether you’re designing a bold, contemporary wet room or a calm family utility area. Our range includes:

• Natural timber tones for relaxed, spa-like finishes

• Graphic black or grey tones for contrast against lighter walls

• Customisable widths to suit small powder rooms or large kitchen walls

Experts at mgnbm.co.uk suggest pairing lighter acoustic wall panels with warm LED strip lighting under cabinets to highlight texture and reduce shadows, especially in bathrooms with minimal natural light.
