Stilj™ Acoustic Panels with Purpose

Sustainability is no longer a trend — it’s a design imperative. Whether you’re planning a home renovation, fitting out a commercial space, or designing a public facility, every material you choose matters. Stilj™ sustainable acoustic panels make it easy to meet environmental goals without compromising on appeal or acoustic performance.

Crafted from FSC-certified timber slats and recycled PET felt, Stilj™ panels offer a smart, eco-conscious approach to managing sound and elevating interior design.

What Makes Stilj™ Panels Sustainable?

Each acoustic slat panel is constructed using responsibly sourced wood and felt made from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles. This not only reduces environmental impact but also gives new life to waste materials that would otherwise end up in landfills.

All Stilj™ acoustic panels are VOC-free, making them safe for indoor air quality — especially important in schools, homes, and healthcare facilities.

Where Sustainable Panels Make a Difference

Here’s how environmentally friendly design can be implemented with Stilj™ acoustic wood slats:

Green Homes and Renovations

Install timber slat walls in bedrooms, living spaces, and dining areas to achieve beautiful, natural finishes that also contribute to LEED-aligned interiors.

Eco-Conscious Offices and Workspaces

Use batten panels or slatted timber panels in meeting rooms, coworking zones, and open-plan offices to reduce noise and support corporate sustainability objectives.

Hospitality and Retail Interiors

In customer-facing spaces, acoustic slat panels balance form and function — showcasing your brand’s commitment to quality and the environment.

DIY Projects With Purpose

Even small-scale projects like a DIY acoustic slat wall in a reading nook or home office can reflect a commitment to conscious design with Stilj™.

More Than Materials: Long-Term Environmental Impact

Sustainability isn’t just about using recycled materials — it’s also about durability. Stilj™ panels are built to last, resisting warping and wear even in high-traffic or humidity-prone areas. Their timeless design means they won’t be discarded when styles change, reducing the need for replacements and the waste that comes with them.

The modular format allows for flexible use, reuse, or relocation across multiple projects or phases of a build. This supports circular design principles and reduces overordering. With minimal off-cuts and straightforward installation, Stilj™ panels help limit site waste, making them an environmentally responsible choice from manufacturing through installation.

A Smart Choice for Healthier Interiors

With no added formaldehyde, harmful chemicals, or synthetic adhesives, Stilj™ acoustic timber slats contribute to better indoor air quality — a growing priority for designers and developers focused on occupant health. These low-VOC materials are ideal for residential projects, wellness facilities, schools, and offices where clean air supports wellbeing.

The natural wood finish not only offers visual warmth but also promotes a calming environment. In spaces where acoustic performance and human health intersect — such as therapy rooms, classrooms, or hospitality environments — Stilj™ provides both sound control and peace of mind.

Aligned with Sustainable Certifications

Stilj™ panels are made with FSC-certified timber and recycled PET felt, helping projects align with global green building standards like LEED, WELL, and BREEAM. Their material transparency, low environmental impact, and long lifespan contribute valuable points toward certification goals and sustainable performance benchmarks.

This makes Stilj™ a valuable specification for eco-conscious architects and builders. Whether used in new construction or renovation, Stilj™ panels actively support environmental objectives without sacrificing design intent or acoustic effectiveness.

Energy Efficiency Through Acoustic Design

Acoustic design can do more than control sound — it can contribute to energy efficiency. Stilj™ panels help regulate the acoustic comfort of a space, reducing the need for additional electronic sound masking systems or bulky partitions that rely on artificial lighting or HVAC adjustments.

By improving the acoustic profile of a room naturally, these panels support a more passive design approach. This translates to reduced energy consumption, fewer mechanical interventions, and lower long-term operational costs. When incorporated into energy-efficient buildings, Stilj™ panels contribute to holistic sustainability — one that includes both environmental responsibility and operational efficiency.
