Varieties of MDF wall panels: from classic to acoustic
How do you sort through the variety of choices?
- Classic panels - Classic model
Classic MDF panels are flat rectangular or square panels that are fixed to the wall with glue or self-tapping screws. They have a smooth or slightly textured surface and can be painted or finished with various finishes. Classic panels create an airy and elegant look suitable for most residential and commercial applications.
- Slatted panels - Wave models
MDF slatted panels have a wavy or geometric shape and are connected to each other using grooves or keys. They can be installed both horizontally and vertically, creating different visual effects. Slatted panels are characterized by strength and durability, so they are often used in offices, stores and other public places. They can also be used to finish walls in private homes and apartments to create additional visual interest in the interior.

- Acoustic panels - Comfort and Trend models
MDF acoustic panels are specially designed to improve room acoustics, reduce echo and reverberation of sound. They have a perforated surface that allows sound waves to penetrate the panel and disperse inside. Acoustic panels are widely used in recording studios, movie theaters, conference rooms and other spaces where quality sound is required. Stella MDF acoustic panels are based on felt and thin MDF slats. They are often used for finishing walls in bedrooms and children's rooms.
