Make a bold, dramatic statement and achieve premium acoustic performance with the Black Acoustic Wood Wall Panel — Thin Slat Series 1 from Paving and Slabs Ltd. Featuring a signature fine-profile thin-slat WPC construction, this panel delivers a deep, intensely textured surface finish that commands attention — perfectly suited to contemporary, industrial, dark-aesthetic, and urban-minimalist interiors. Each panel measures 2400 × 600 mm (240 × 60 cm) and is sold individually at £59.99 per panel, giving 1.44 m² of coverage. The integrated sound-absorbing felt backing provides genuine mid and high-frequency noise reduction, making this an outstanding acoustic and aesthetic solution for home offices, gaming rooms, home cinemas, recording studios, living rooms, and commercial spaces.

Thin Slat Series 1 — A Finer, More Refined Slat Profile

The Thin Slat Series 1 is a distinct evolution of our acoustic wall panel range. Where our standard panels feature a classic slatted profile, the Thin Slat Series uses a finer, more closely spaced slat construction — delivering a richer surface texture, a more refined architectural finish, and the same proven acoustic performance. The result is a panel that reads as premium and considered, particularly at close range, bringing a designer-quality finish to any feature wall.

At 2400 × 600 mm, each panel is wide enough to cover significant wall area in fewer pieces while remaining practical to handle and install solo. Sold individually rather than as a pack, you buy exactly the coverage you need — no excess, no waste.

Acoustic Performance — Reduce Echo, Reverberation & Ambient Noise

Hard, flat wall surfaces are highly sound-reflective — they bounce audio energy back into the room, creating echo, harsh reverberation, and a fatiguing acoustic environment. The Black Thin Slat Series 1 panels tackle this at the design level. The fine slatted WPC face diffuses incoming sound waves across a greater number of surfaces, breaking up flat reflections with exceptional efficiency, while the integrated high-density acoustic felt backing absorbs mid and high-frequency energy before it can reflect back into the space.

The result is a measurably quieter, more controlled acoustic environment — improving speech clarity, audio quality, and concentration in any room. Whether you are building a home recording studio, fitting a dedicated home office, designing a gaming room, or simply reducing echo in a living space, these panels deliver real acoustic improvement without foam treatment or structural work.

Deep Black Finish — A Bold, High-Impact Feature Wall

The deep black thin-slat finish is the most dramatic and striking option in the range. The finer slat spacing creates an exceptional sense of depth and shadow — the tightly spaced slats absorb light selectively, making the surface appear to recede and giving any wall a rich, three-dimensional quality. Under directional or accent lighting, the individual slats cast sharp, parallel shadows that reinforce the architectural character of the panel.

The black tone pairs powerfully with dark-accent interiors, matte black hardware, exposed concrete, brushed steel, and both warm and cool LED lighting. It creates an immediately recognisable, premium aesthetic that works equally well in residential living spaces and high-end commercial settings including media studios, hospitality venues, corporate offices, and bars. For those who want a statement wall that commands attention, the black thin-slat finish is the definitive choice.

Easy DIY Installation — No Specialist Tools Required

Despite their premium appearance, Thin Slat Series 1 panels are straightforward to install. The lightweight WPC composite fixes directly onto any flat, dry wall surface using standard construction adhesive or screws. The wide 600 mm panel format allows fast, even coverage with fewer panel joins than narrower formats. For a perfectly professional result, follow our free step-by-step fitting guide:

Four Colour Options

The Thin Slat Series 1 range is available in four carefully considered colourways. All panels share identical dimensions, acoustic performance, and installation method — only the aesthetic finish differs:

• Black Thin Slat Series 1 — bold, dramatic, ultra-modern (this product)
• Teak Thin Slat Series 1 — warm golden-brown natural timber tone
• Oak Thin Slat Series 1 — light, airy Scandinavian-inspired finish
• Grey Thin Slat Series 1 — cool, contemporary neutral tone
