Why are wooden acoustic panels the best choice?
Genuine wood from the Black Forest – no MDF, no decorative film, no synthetic felt
Solid wood is a pure, natural product sawn directly from the trunk. Rather than anonymous imported goods, we prioritise traceable origins, regional processing and visible, robust wood quality. The wood used for our acoustic panels comes predominantly from sustainable forestry with PEFC chain-of-custody certification (HW-PEFC-CoC-0336-25). We source our favourite wood – silver fir – from local forests within a radius of no more than 200 km. It is even processed into the finished product at our own sawmill.
Every panel embodies our experience gained over two decades as a cross-laminated timber manufacturer and room acoustics expert.
Dimensionally stable thanks to cross-glued solid wood
Wood naturally reacts to humidity. The design of an acoustic panel is therefore crucial. LIGNO® acoustic panels are manufactured using the cross-laminated timber principle: several layers of wood are glued together in a criss-cross pattern. This ensures that the panels remain particularly dimensionally stable – even when humidity levels fluctuate. For this reason, Lignotrend’s solid wood acoustic panels are even suitable for use in damp rooms.
Complies fully with building biology standards – natureplus and IBR certified
Large-scale wall cladding has a significant impact on the indoor environment. Anyone who values healthy building materials in their own home should also take a close look at large-scale wooden wall cladding and acoustic ceilings. LIGNO® Acoustic Panels Pro (fir/spruce) have been tested and certified as safe for health in accordance with the criteria of the natureplus® Guideline 0211, in contrast to standard panel variants with felt, which may emit harmful substances depending on their manufacture and origin.
Wooden acoustic wall: Why real wood is the better choice here
When rooms echo, conversations become tiring or noises linger unpleasantly, you need a solution that works in everyday life and proves its worth in the long term: wall-mounted sound absorbers are available in various qualities. The most common models are made of veneered MDF with a backing of synthetic polyester felt, which often cannot withstand the rigours of everyday use over the long term.
LIGNO® acoustic panels, on the other hand, are made from robust solid wood. They withstand knocks well, are easy to clean and retain their natural beauty for years to come.
Effective room acoustics across a wide frequency range
Simple decorative panels are usually stuck directly onto the wall. LIGNO® Acoustic is a sophisticated system that absorbs up to 90 per cent of incident sound and significantly reduces unwanted reverberation. The following audio examples demonstrate the extent to which the acoustics of a typical living and dining area change before and after the installation of acoustic panels.
Language: A room without acoustic panels
Sound example for a room with a floor area of approx. 60 m²
Standard design with plaster on the walls and ceiling, a hard
floor, no carpet and furniture with low sound absorption

FAQ – LIGNO® Acoustic Panels
What makes LIGNO® acoustic panels different from conventional solutions?
Unlike many standard products, Lignotrend relies on 100% solid wood from the Black Forest. While typical felt-based acoustic panels often only reduce high frequencies, the three-layer cross-laminated timber structure enables broadband sound absorption (up to αw = 0.90). We consistently avoid synthetic felt, MDF, and chemical emissions, ensuring certification for healthy indoor environments and listing in the DGNB Navigator.
Are solid wood acoustic panels suitable for bathrooms or indoor pools?
Yes. Thanks to the cross-laminated solid wood construction, LIGNO® acoustic panels offer exceptional dimensional stability. They withstand humidity fluctuations far better than single-layer wood products, felt, or MDF. When properly installed, the high-quality solid wood does not warp or swell, offers natural antibacterial properties (oak), and features antistatic surfaces for easy maintenance — ideal for wellness areas and bathroom renovations.
What fire safety requirements do the panels meet in commercial projects?
For public buildings such as schools or assembly spaces, LIGNO® Acoustic light is available in the classification flame-retardant (B-s2,d0) according to EN 13501-1. The fire protection treatment is visually unobtrusive and fully preserves the natural wood appearance. In addition, many configurations are tested for impact resistance according to DIN 18032.
How are acoustic panels installed?
LIGNO® acoustic panels are mounted onto a substructure, which can be made of wood or metal depending on the application and requirements. To ensure a clean, concealed installation, Lignotrend offers special screws that are hidden between the slats.
Installation on a substructure not only improves sound absorption but also allows the panels to be leveled for a particularly smooth and consistent appearance. In addition to the screws, Lignotrend provides matching › accessories for the substructure. This installation method also allows for easy removal — making it suitable for rental properties. Further information and installation videos can be found in the › installation guides.
