Using the external slats also lets you use some other material between the slats to improve the soundproofing even more. This could be rockwool or similar. There are some great acoustic wool types out there which a 3/4 inch thick. Cheaper materials like foam could be used if suitable. Make sure you check material suitability especially when using on external walls, as the walls need to breath to avoid moisture build up and mold.
Caveat: Not every wall system requires walls that breathe. Those are vented systems and they don't work well with more aggressive codes that require air tightness. This is a question to have with builders and designers.
Great review! I love this product so much. I bought them for my office over a year ago and covered the 12' wall in less than a couple of hours. I've continued to get so many complements on them and the sound deadening helps in larger rooms that echo. On installation, it helps to have two people, but you can do it solo pretty easy because they're so light and easy to line up. While it's recommended to drill into the studs, the panels are so light I skipped that and just screwed them directly into the dry wall. I used 12 screws per panel placed at the top, middle, and bottom. Rock solid.
Thank you for saying the paneling can be installed by one person and you screwed it directly into the drywall. I only want 2-3 panels. Just what I needed to hear.
Brother thank you for this review! I initialy clicked on the video because of the title however I stayed because of how informational it was yet super funny! Keep it up broskie!
Can they be improved without being to thick and still look nice? Nicer felt and real wood to add mass?if you can carry one piece with ease it's way to light.
There it is! I have been waiting for this broseph. Thanks for the video! I like them, but I think I am going to do my own! I'm handy enough to save some dough
It's cool as an improvement but I see it being a dust trap, which means you have to painstakingly vacuum all of the openings. Also very expensive to warm up the appearance of the room. This company isn't spending very much to apply veneer to a foam core. With owning a tablesaw I can replicate this with pallet lumber or regular softwood for a fraction and paint the gaps between the sticks. You can fix the sticks to plywood you cut to width needed for the studs.
Mr mega trust me it's not much cheapier to do it by yourself. Plus, if it looks terrible at the end, you wasted it all. I tried to do this by myself to save 100€ but I stopped right at the beginning because I realized it wouldn't get perfectly parallel. It's crazy complex
@@ToniDerAlbaner Well that is because there is math and precision involved. You have to plan it ahead of time. Making small scrap pieces that are the exact size you need in-between the sticks to get the spacing correct is important during assembly of the boards. It wouldn't be as expensive to purchase 1"x12"x8ft boards from a local lumbar yard and then cut to size with a contractors table saw. Would only be spending about $300 getting the materials from a Amish lumber yard.
Love the external stud idea, definitely giving me some ideas for easy install and some up lighting at the top of these panels, given that you'll have some room behind them. Definitely going to have to try this!
Wish I had seen this before we completed our reno. We ordered from wood panel usa and had multiple challenges on delivery and quality post delivery with customer service. Their website had very minimal by the way installation and you provided installation alternatives that we had not thought of. A couple of suggestions to your viewers: 1) lay out all the panels on the floor so you can get an idea of where the slats will lay relative to cuts that may need to be made or edges of walls. 2) try to get all one order to ensure all panels come from the same stock. As I noted above, we had multiple shipments to compensate for damaged deliveries. 3) we were able to have our panels stained. So if you have a finish that is not quite what you want, you should confirm that you can stain it afterward. Again kudos on a great review
I just installed the panels in my living room! I used the black boards. It's almost done! It looks beautiful so far. Remaining: the middle portion in between the fireplace and the TV. Needed 10 boxes. Cost was about $1800. SO WORTH IT! Hope to finish it this weekend!
Thanks for the tip about a 1 by 2 - I will use that when I install my panels in my upcoming studio since I have brick walls. What is that Black bar that hides your led light strip down in the bottom?❤

I really like the external stud backing idea. think ill use strips of plywood to make it as thin as possible. makes for less patching of the drywall behind if you ever do remove them too. nice video!
Good video. Instead of black electrical tape to correct that cut around the socket could you use a little piece of the black foam backing cut to size instead? 🤔
Hi! I got a question... Let's say i go for the 3 options of installation (adding wood behind to be easier)... But i only do half a wall, what do you do or put at the end of the panel that ends in the middle of the wall? Without a end edge, we will see the space created by the wood? Sorry for my english, im french lol
Love your vids! Wanted to say thank you so much for the content, after watching the "buying cheap herman miller guide" you posted, I followed the steps and got a mirra 2 for £40 off facebook marketplace!! Searched just a normal office chair and the guy who was selling it had no idea what the chair was! Honestly thank you so much, keep up the amazing content!
I plan....to never clean them LOL. It's in a pretty temperature/humidity controlled space. If they're in a basement setting or exposed to wildly different temps, could use a good sealant I think!
If the height of your wall is greater than the height of this product, and you plan to leave space above and below, and you don't need many holes in the wall for panels and other stuffs, then this product can indeed be installed quickly but not so easily. Otherwise, you will have to solve a lot of those problems, and take more time, develop more skills. With that effort, you could build it from lambers and save you $2000 for a single wall and keep all the tools you purchased and all the skills you developed for the future.
So it’s creating a “baffle” I think it’s called, which can help with sound absorption. You don’t need a super thick stud bc the panels are light weight and you’ll have multiple studs from bottom to top to hold those screws in place!
I am no sound solution pro, so please seek a second opinion, but from what I understand, these are meant for sound absorption, not for soundproofing. Sound absorption means reduce echoes and reverb within the room. Soundproofing means preventing sound from getting in and out. I imagine it could help somewhat with soundproofing since the foam is towards the wall, but not sure how effective it is. Also...damn those witches.
Hi Dan. If u ever want these in a different color u can even sand the surface and apply special color. I made mine all black. It really looks so good. But u can choose whatever color u like ofc. Nice video. Keep up the good work.
A great example of something worth DIYing. MDF backing (or OSB?), black fabric from wherever (ebay?), big ass stapler, wood slats from big box store, the stain of your choice, glue, nails and screws.
That's so that you have room for trim, Most people with 8 foot ceilings do not have 8 feet of flat wall with those ceilings. If you look at how people install these panels, most of them have a 1-2in termination trim on the top and/or bottom.
I'm sure this is the justification they use to sell it at this length. Personally, if I'm doing a whole 8 foot wall, I'd prefer not to do it with standard moulding/trim at the base or even worse, at the top. I would want the slats to run the entirety of the wall.@@SNiiPEDoGG
Depends on your baseboards. I've got 4.5in tall baseboards. I have to trim about an inch off the 94.49 size. More cutting work, but whatev. Works with my baseboards.
Great video highlighting your personality in between all of the commentary. Some highlights were; sperm mirror, the art of your wall slats turned to the side, and the stud finder. Glad to see you having fun in this one!

Hi there, that's a brilliant review. Definitely worth them. it looks amazing, totally worth it! They are functional and create a nice (and warm) environment in any room. The acoustic ones also actively reduce noise levels, dropping the decibels no matter what kind of noise is going on. We have been supplying them for over one year now and our customers shared excellent feedback.
Out of curiosity, should I instead be greedy/soulless and make videos about products I hate/don’t believe in, but say they’re good bc I don’t give a crap about the people watching my videos? 🤔
you are correct, with external studs you will trap more of the sound frequencies between the original wall and the added felt/wood slats. tho it also is just the 1/4th of the frequency that will get trapped there, so mostly quite high frequencies.
@mizfizwiz you don’t need to use a thick piece of wood and the gap could be minimal. These slats are really light, which is why some people use glue or a nail gun instead!
Can I have them installed over & under the soffit over my cabinets & stove top? Ofcourse they would all need to be shortened to fit the space. If they go under & over the soffit can you match them so they seem like one piece?
That looks great! We're about to do a similar install using Wood Tambour by Surfacing Solutions at a restaurant in Houston. The stuff is very pricey but we think it will look really nice as well. Love these kind of videos, they really help with making a decision about costly design ideas.
Thanks for the review. I think doing horizontal strapping (with thin pieces of wood) would be a great option for installing with screws. And something I didn't think of until seeing your review.
Ok so I am totally down for creating external stud. However the panels won't be "flush" to the wall. How would that create a better sound barrier. Lastly, thank you so much for your ahnest review! super helpful. 😀
Question- why did you align them with the baseboard instead of the ceiling? I’m thinking of purchasing it for a living room and aligning it to the celling with a foot off the baseboard.
Not sure if you can tell, but My ceilings are like 10+ ft tall. Would be awesome if wood veneer Hub made them that tall, but sadly not the case. So I lined them up with the baseboard. Since this is a video set and not a house, it worked out for me. If you were in a house and had tall ceilings, you’d likely have to stack 2 panels on top of each other. Hope this makes sense!

Ugh been meaning to get a studio setup video out, but keep getting delayed. In a nutshell, took an 8x2 board, had someone cut one edge to 45 degrees, spray painted it black, and put a light strip on the 45 degree angle facing the wall!
I’m sold! By chance do you know if you can cut the felt off the back? I’d like to place the panels around my fireplace, going in front of an alcove with lighting. I think the light from the back would look fab!
I'm not sure how easy it would be to cut the felt off the back. If you cut the slats at all horizontally, you will have to reglue them back onto the felt, so that might be a good way to get the process of removing the felt started.
What material is the wood veneer on top of? I was planning on making a wood slat wall and the logistics of dealing with the weight in a non permanent setup was making me second guess my plans. This company's approach seems way easier to disassemble when needed.
You have multiple wood options. Mine is the original color (forget off the top of my head what color it is). It’s real wood, so you can stain or seal it. I should seal mine but been too lazy lol
@@Ahnestly it's solid all the way through? I assumed it was a thin wood veneer on top of a lighter substrate since the sides of the wood slats were black
did you have to cut the black trip on the vertical edge at all? the panels don't line up well, there's a larger black stripe where two panels meet. how do you reduce this?
@@Ahnestly thanks for your reply. It doesn't really work, they only squeeze in so far. there's a noticeably larger black stripe between the panels for my bunch. they don't fit together well
@@Ahnestly the black felt sticks out on one side only, and is set in on the other, so they're designed to lock into place... only the black felt that sticks out is just a bit too wide. i'd have to cut a thin strip off each panel for it not to be noticeable, but cbf ;)
Hey! For the long cuts, just used a table saw that I borrowed. For the outlet cuts, I think I mentioned I used a jig saw (first time ever using one) For vertical cuts, I put a slat against a box and then used a box cutter along the felt. Very easy
Haha thanks for noticing! I’ve always loved watching DIYers and I always thought…what if you hate that after a year? Seems like a huge pain to undo…. Hope the video helped!!
I like this product, however like many other manufacturers the height is limited to max 94.7 in, but for my walls I need 104 in. I have searched everywhere, no luck. I know that 2 sets with a joint in the middle will do the trick, but I don't want an ugly line in between. For now, I will look for some other alternatives.

Do you have a separate video of the actual installation including the lighting on the base board.

Acoustic engineer here and I'll tell you these things are next to useless for real effective treatment. They are an architectural/decorative panel.
Can they be improved without being to thick and still look nice? Nicer felt and real wood to add mass?if you can carry one piece with ease it's way to light.
Have you used them or are you just guessing?
@@gabecollins5585 Educated guess, since there are some kind of felt behind some sound will be absorbed but don't expect miracles.
That's technically not the point of the slats, thats just an added benefit so its not meant for "effective sound treatment"
What is your suggestion?

Excellent video - loved the info AND your sense of humour. Do you have any info or video on the down lights you’re using on the wall in this video?
Thanks for the kind words! See pinned comment! Link to the follow up video is there!
A great example of something worth DIYing. MDF backing (or OSB?), black fabric from wherever (ebay?), big ass stapler, wood slats from big box store, the stain of your choice, glue, nails and screws.
just curious, does it help with sound? looks great but the purple lighting kinda kills the vibe. oops nvm just reach that part of the video
I included that aspect in the review! It does have sound deadening properties.
The only issue I see with adding backing to attach to is now the offset will need to be addressed at the bottom edge. Any thoughts?
How do you install the purple lights in the bottom??
Those are really effective, love them ❤
we just ordered these slats from wood veneer, about 12 of them to cover a 15x12 wall in our living room where the TV will be.
Thanks for the great review! My only issue is that it seems like no matter where you look, they only come in 94" not 96" (standard 8 foot wall).
That's so that you have room for trim, Most people with 8 foot ceilings do not have 8 feet of flat wall with those ceilings. If you look at how people install these panels, most of them have a 1-2in termination trim on the top and/or bottom.
I'm sure this is the justification they use to sell it at this length. Personally, if I'm doing a whole 8 foot wall, I'd prefer not to do it with standard moulding/trim at the base or even worse, at the top. I would want the slats to run the entirety of the wall.@@SNiiPEDoGG
@@FeroxWJB so you would have it flush with the ceiling and floating a foot or so off the floor? That’s what I’m thinking

@@Ahnestly awesomeness thanks bro
But whats the result? Are they really reducing high pitch and damp the sound in the room?
Hi there, that's a brilliant review.
Definitely worth them. it looks amazing, totally worth it! They are functional and create a nice (and warm) environment in any room. The acoustic ones also actively reduce noise levels, dropping the decibels no matter what kind of noise is going on.
We have been supplying them for over one year now and our customers shared excellent feedback.
What kind of lighting did you use at the bottom, and how is it isralled!
Way ahead of you, friend!

What screws are best for the project?
I loved these so much I made a product pitch video about them and posted an affiliate link. What a dumb waste of wood and money.
Out of curiosity, should I instead be greedy/soulless and make videos about products I hate/don’t believe in, but say they’re good bc I don’t give a crap about the people watching my videos? 🤔
Very beautiful wall panels! Thank you for the review!
Thank you!
you are correct, with external studs you will trap more of the sound frequencies between the original wall and the added felt/wood slats. tho it also is just the 1/4th of the frequency that will get trapped there, so mostly quite high frequencies.
Question - If you add a stud behind it wont it leave a space between your wall and this product?
yes it would!
@@Ahnestly so this solution would only work if both sides are right angles or else would need a part of panel to close that.
@mizfizwiz you don’t need to use a thick piece of wood and the gap could be minimal. These slats are really light, which is why some people use glue or a nail gun instead!
How did you install the lights on the bottom?
See pinned comment! On mobile right now so can’t link it
Can you just use liquid nail and glue them ?
Can I have them installed over & under the soffit over my cabinets & stove top? Ofcourse they would all need to be shortened to fit the space. If they go under & over the soffit can you match them so they seem like one piece?
Great review. FYI the “external studs” are called furring strips.
Thank you!!
$3000 just for that one wall? How am I supposed to do the entire house? Any recommendations?
How do you set up the led lighting at the bottom???

That looks great! We're about to do a similar install using Wood Tambour by Surfacing Solutions at a restaurant in Houston. The stuff is very pricey but we think it will look really nice as well. Love these kind of videos, they really help with making a decision about costly design ideas.
Thanks for the review. I think doing horizontal strapping (with thin pieces of wood) would be a great option for installing with screws. And something I didn't think of until seeing your review.
Do they stop sound from coming into your room???
what lights did you use?
Y haven't u reviewed the ErgoTune Supreme? I always see u having this chair in ur collection but you've never talked about it in any of ur videos.
Were the slats enough to reduce the noise? or did you had to install additional acoustic panels or blankets?
Thanks for the review!
Hey! So my space wasn’t very echoey due to high ceilings and it just being a pretty big space, so I couldn’t tell :(
How did u fix the lights
Ok so I am totally down for creating external stud. However the panels won't be "flush" to the wall. How would that create a better sound barrier. Lastly, thank you so much for your ahnest review! super helpful. 😀
Could you use 3m tape along the back for installation? It seems to me it would do the job but easier to remove than glue and easiest install
Question- why did you align them with the baseboard instead of the ceiling? I’m thinking of purchasing it for a living room and aligning it to the celling with a foot off the baseboard.
Not sure if you can tell, but My ceilings are like 10+ ft tall. Would be awesome if wood veneer Hub made them that tall, but sadly not the case. So I lined them up with the baseboard. Since this is a video set and not a house, it worked out for me. If you were in a house and had tall ceilings, you’d likely have to stack 2 panels on top of each other. Hope this makes sense!

Hey bud! love your videos man! I am putting in these slats in my office and wanted to know how you installed the light on the bottom
Ugh been meaning to get a studio setup video out, but keep getting delayed. In a nutshell, took an 8x2 board, had someone cut one edge to 45 degrees, spray painted it black, and put a light strip on the 45 degree angle facing the wall!
@@Ahnestly thanks man! appreciate the response! and will keep watching your videos! you are the best!
Would love to see some closeups to see the details on how you did the lighting. It’s sexy.
I’m sold! By chance do you know if you can cut the felt off the back? I’d like to place the panels around my fireplace, going in front of an alcove with lighting. I think the light from the back would look fab!
I'm not sure how easy it would be to cut the felt off the back. If you cut the slats at all horizontally, you will have to reglue them back onto the felt, so that might be a good way to get the process of removing the felt started.
Is it the felt that absorb sound or both felt and slats.
Probably more so the felt, and the fact that the walls aren't totally flat? I'm not a sound professional, so don't take my word for it!
What material is the wood veneer on top of? I was planning on making a wood slat wall and the logistics of dealing with the weight in a non permanent setup was making me second guess my plans. This company's approach seems way easier to disassemble when needed.
You have multiple wood options. Mine is the original color (forget off the top of my head what color it is). It’s real wood, so you can stain or seal it. I should seal mine but been too lazy lol
@@Ahnestly it's solid all the way through? I assumed it was a thin wood veneer on top of a lighter substrate since the sides of the wood slats were black
did you have to cut the black trip on the vertical edge at all? the panels don't line up well, there's a larger black stripe where two panels meet. how do you reduce this?
Sounds weird, but you just squeeze them together a bit. Should reduce the spacing to look on par with all other panels!
@@Ahnestly thanks for your reply. It doesn't really work, they only squeeze in so far. there's a noticeably larger black stripe between the panels for my bunch. they don't fit together well
@louiswain1826 that’s odd. Did you try flipping the panel around? I don’t have them on me, but one side might be thinner than the other?
@@Ahnestly the black felt sticks out on one side only, and is set in on the other, so they're designed to lock into place... only the black felt that sticks out is just a bit too wide. i'd have to cut a thin strip off each panel for it not to be noticeable, but cbf ;)
I’m in Sierra Leone, how can I get this I need for my home
Where sichte vest place to order these wall slats
Didn't mention what mmethod was used to cut them to length. Hand saw, saber saw, circular saw. jig saw?? How about cutting the fekt backing??
Hey! For the long cuts, just used a table saw that I borrowed. For the outlet cuts, I think I mentioned I used a jig saw (first time ever using one)
For vertical cuts, I put a slat against a box and then used a box cutter along the felt. Very easy
@ Thanks so much for responding. Exactly what I wanted to know. My new wall slats arrived yesterday.
Nice video!!! where did you get the chair and ottoman at 7:02?
Love the look! Wish they came in 10' length.
I hear ya!
Cool vid but I really wanted to know if these can be used outdoors. That would’ve been a good thing to include in your pro vs. con list.
These aren't water proof but there are products that look exactly the same but made for the exterior.
I love that you talked about deinstallation, bc no DIYers ever do!!
Haha thanks for noticing! I’ve always loved watching DIYers and I always thought…what if you hate that after a year? Seems like a huge pain to undo….
Hope the video helped!!
was that a Rolex panda? @5:24?
I'm considering buying these and this was a really helpful video! Will use your referral code if I purchase.
Awesome!!! Please use my link as well, just to make sure the sale gets credited to me. Helps a lot!!
Can you paint them black
How many external studs do you need to create?
NOT AN EXPERT HERE - imho, I think you’d be fine with 2 stud points
@@Ahnestly how have the held up so far? Do you think command strips would work? Looking for the least destructive solution for my rental unit
@@Mosizzle600really well! I have no idea if command strips would work, but filling holes from screw marks isn’t that difficult!
Dope video love the look! It would be sweet if you could cover any other alternatives for different looking studio spaces too. Cheers!
Is that an authentic Flos Superloon?
Lol you crazy.
I like this product, however like many other manufacturers the height is limited to max 94.7 in, but for my walls I need 104 in. I have searched everywhere, no luck. I know that 2 sets with a joint in the middle will do the trick, but I don't want an ugly line in between. For now, I will look for some other alternatives.
How heavy would you say each panel is?
My guess would be 10-15 lbs!
witches cackling? I'm sold
I skimmed through the video, and couldn't find the part where the LED strip was added. Nice review, waiting for part 2: greebles.
