Description
Description
Black Oak (8210C) is a dark, wood-look acoustic slat panel from Emu Design's Acoustic Slat Panels range, built to give a feature wall real presence. The vertical slat profile adds depth and shadow to a flat surface, and the black oak finish reads as a bold, high-contrast statement — used well as a single accent wall rather than wrapping a whole room. Panels are supplied in two lengths from $66.00 AUD, ship Sydney-wide, and can be installed DIY or by a professional.
Black Oak (8210C) overview
Black Oak (8210C) is the darkest, highest-contrast colourway in Emu Design's Acoustic Slat Panels collection: vertical wood-look slats over a backing panel, designed to break up a flat wall and soften some of the reflected sound bouncing around a room.
- Bold black oak wood-look finish, best used as a single feature wall rather than throughout a whole room
- Supplied in two lengths — 2400mm and 2700mm — both 600mm wide
- Suitable for wall and ceiling installation, in residential and commercial spaces
- Can be installed DIY with adhesive, or fitted by a professional installer
- Ships Sydney-wide, with showroom viewing available in Rouse Hill and Penrith, NSW
Sizes & prices
| Length | Profile | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 2400 mm | 600 x 19 mm | $66.00 |
| 2700 mm | 600 x 19 mm | $69.00 |
Coverage guidance: each panel is 600mm wide, so a 2400mm panel covers roughly 1.44 m² of wall face, and a 2700mm panel covers roughly 1.62 m². Confirm your exact wall height against these lengths before ordering — the 2400mm size suits standard ceiling heights, while the 2700mm size reduces horizontal cutting on taller walls.
Where to use Black Oak (8210C)
Recommended applications include:
- Living room feature walls, behind a TV unit or sofa
- Media rooms and home theatres
- Home office backdrops, particularly for video calls
- Reception areas and entryways
- Retail and hospitality fit-outs that call for a dark, premium backdrop
Because it's a strong, high-contrast colour, Black Oak (8210C) is usually specified as one accent wall rather than used across an entire room.
What is an acoustic slat panel?
An acoustic slat panel is a decorative wall or ceiling covering made up of narrow, evenly spaced wood-look slats fixed over a backing board. The gaps and profile between slats give the surface some texture and help break up flat, hard walls that would otherwise reflect sound sharply. It's a different product to a solid timber slat wall, which is purely decorative, and it isn't the same as a dedicated soundproofing system — see the next section for that distinction.
Acoustic performance — what to expect
Acoustic slat panels like Black Oak (8210C) are designed to reduce echo and manage reflected sound within the room they're installed in — useful in spaces with hard floors, high ceilings or bare walls where speech and sound can feel harsh. They are not intended for soundproofing between spaces, such as blocking sound from travelling into a neighbouring room or through a floor.
If your project has a specific acoustic requirement — a home studio, a media room needing sound isolation, or a commercial fit-out with an acoustic compliance target — confirm the exact performance specifications for Black Oak (8210C) with Emu Design before ordering, rather than assuming standard slat panel performance will meet that requirement.
Installation & care
- Panels can be fixed with a suitable construction adhesive directly onto a clean, flat, structurally sound wall or ceiling
- Screws or a batten frame can be used for a more permanent fix, or on less even substrates
- DIY installation suits most straightforward walls; professional installation is available through Emu Design and is worth considering for ceilings, large walls or awkward surfaces
- Keep the panel clean with light dusting or a dry cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or excess moisture on the wood-look finish
Before you order
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Wall or ceiling width & height, minus openings | Determines how many panels you need and which length to order |
| Intended use / acoustic goal | Echo reduction inside a room is different from soundproofing between rooms — confirm which one you actually need |
| Surface & substrate | The wall or ceiling should be clean, flat and structurally sound before fixing panels |
| Fixing method | Adhesive suits most flat walls; screws or a batten frame may be needed on uneven or heavier substrates |
| Cutting & waste allowance | Actual usable coverage is lower than the raw panel size — allow extra for cuts around doors, windows and corners |
| Delivery & handling | Panels up to 2700mm long need enough space to store and manoeuvre before installation |
Not sure how many panels you'll need? Send Emu Design your wall measurements and they can help estimate an approximate panel count.
Black Oak (8210C) FAQs
Will Black Oak (8210C) soundproof my room?
No — it reduces echo and softens reflected sound within the room it's installed in, but it isn't designed to block sound from travelling into a neighbouring room or through a floor. Confirm exact requirements with Emu Design if you need sound isolation between spaces.
How many Black Oak (8210C) panels do I need for my wall?
Measure your wall's width and height in metres and multiply them to get the total area. Divide that by 1.44 m² (2400mm panel) or 1.62 m² (2700mm panel), then round up and add roughly 10% for cutting waste — or send Emu Design your measurements for an estimate.
Can I install Black Oak (8210C) myself, or do I need a professional?
Both options work. The panels can be installed DIY with adhesive or screws, or Emu Design can arrange professional installation if you'd prefer it fitted for you.
Can this panel be used on a ceiling as well as a wall?
Yes — Black Oak (8210C) is suitable for both wall and ceiling installation in residential or commercial spaces.
Which size should I choose, 2400mm or 2700mm?
Choose based on your wall height to minimise cutting: the 2400mm panel suits standard ceiling heights, while the 2700mm panel is better for taller walls or double-height spaces.
