Why Acoustic Wood Panels Are Essential for Modern Singaporean Spaces
Singapore’s fast-paced lifestyle demands spaces that balance functionality with tranquility. Acoustic wood panels from MRETTY address this need by merging advanced soundproofing technology with timeless aesthetics. Designed for high-traffic environments like condos, offices, and hospitality venues, these panels reduce noise pollution by up to 28dB while adding a touch of natural elegance .
5-Step Guide to Installing MRETTY’s Acoustic Wood Panels
1. Measure & Plan Your Layout
Assess your space’s acoustic hotspots—common areas like kitchens or open-plan offices. MRETTY’s panels are customizable in size (600mm–3050mm) and thickness (21–22mm), ensuring seamless integration with Singapore’s compact layouts .
2. Install Hidden Anchoring Systems
MRETTY’s concealed J-shaped brackets and aircraft-grade aluminum honeycomb cores ensure secure mounting without visible hardware. Ideal for maintaining minimalist aesthetics in Singaporean homes .
3. Apply Waterproof Membrane Protection
Our panels feature a 0.8mm E0-grade waterproof membrane, crucial for Singapore’s humid climate. This layer prevents mold growth and ensures durability in high-moisture areas like bathrooms .
4. Optimize Sound Absorption with Perforation Patterns
Choose from 5–20mm slat gaps to target specific frequencies. For example, 15mm gaps excel in mid-range absorption, perfect for home theaters or meditation spaces .
5. Final Finishing with Eco-Friendly Coatings
MRETTY uses five-layer, low-VOC lacquers certified by Singapore’s NEA. This ensures zero off-gassing while preserving the wood’s natural grain .
