Silver Oak 557S Acoustic Slat Panels

Silver Oak 557S is the cool-toned oak in EMU Design's acoustic slat range: a silvery, contemporary finish that keeps a feature wall light and modern rather than warm and golden.

These Silver Oak 557S acoustic slat panels measure 2700 × 600 × 19 mm and cost $70 per panel, which works out at about $43.21 per square metre before wastage, fixings and delivery. Each panel is a row of MDF slats with a realistic wood finish on a recycled PET acoustic felt backing, so you get a timber-look feature wall that also helps soften echo in the room.

We are a Sydney-based supplier with a showroom at Rouse Hill, so you can check the finish against your own flooring and joinery before you commit. Sydney-wide delivery is available, and the notes below cover the returns and fitting details worth knowing before you buy.

How Many Silver Oak 557S Panels Do You Need?

Divide your wall's width by 600 mm and round up to whole panels. Every panel is 2700 mm long, so a wall up to 2700 mm high takes one panel from top to bottom when the panels are fixed vertically. Allow a small amount for cutting and wastage, and send us your width and height if you would like the count checked. Our guide on how to measure a wall for acoustic panels covers doors, power points and corners.

Where a Cool Oak Slat Wall Works

Silver Oak 557S suits rooms where you want timber texture without a warm, honey tone.

• Living rooms: behind a TV or fireplace, where a cool oak finish sits comfortably beside grey or white walls and black fittings.
• Bedrooms: as a headboard wall that adds texture without darkening the room.
• Home offices: behind the desk, where a bare wall can make video calls sound sharp and echoey.
• Entries and hallways: a slatted feature that gives a plain wall some shadow lines and depth.
• Reception, meeting rooms and retail counters: for a commercial wall with a defined requirement, ask us what technical information is available for this exact panel before you specify it.

Colour looks different on screen and in the room, so compare the finish with your flooring and joinery in daylight. If you want something warmer or darker, compare Light Oak 8436S, Smoked Oak 24S or Black Oak 8210C, or look at a grey finish in Grey 20WV.

What the Felt Backing Does

The slats create the timber pattern, and the recycled PET felt behind them is what helps reduce echo and reverberation in the room. Hard floors, glass and flat plasterboard bounce sound around, and a slatted wall softens some of that.

Our guide Do acoustic slat panels reduce echo? explains what to expect before you buy.

Fixing Silver Oak 557S to Your Wall

Panels fix to a clean, sound wall with adhesive or screws. Many straightforward walls suit a DIY install if you have basic tools and some experience. Plan where the first and last panel sit so the slats finish evenly at each end, and measure twice before you cut.

For large walls, high walls, ceilings or awkward details, we recommend an experienced installer. We can help coordinate one if you send photos and measurements of the area. Suitable adhesive and selected installation accessories are available too, so tell us what you are fixing to and we will advise what you need.

Keep Silver Oak 557S indoors and out of wet or damp areas such as a shower. MDF-based panels should not be assumed suitable for wet or outdoor spaces, so ask us if you are unsure about a room.

Before You Order: Returns and Checks

Panels are cut and fixed in place, which is hard to undo. These are the points from our Returns & Exchanges Policy that matter most before you buy.

• Change of mind: eligible returns or exchanges are accepted within 15 calendar days of purchase or delivery, with proof of purchase.
• Condition: panels must be unused, uninstalled and in original condition, not cut, drilled, modified, marked or damaged, with the original wrapping, protective film, packaging and labels intact. EMU Design can refuse a return that does not meet these conditions.
• Costs: for an approved change-of-mind return or exchange, you cover the transport or collection back to EMU Design, and the original delivery charges are generally not refundable.
• Colour and finish: slight variations in colour, grain, pattern or finish can occur between batches, samples, photographs and the actual product. Confirm the colour before cutting or installing, and ask us for photos or a showroom visit if you want a closer look.
• On arrival: check the product type, colour and finish, dimensions, quantity and condition before you cut or install, and contact us first if something looks wrong.
• Faulty, damaged or incorrect panels: contact us as soon as reasonably possible with your proof of purchase, photos or videos and details of the issue. We will assess it and provide a remedy under the Australian Consumer Law, which this policy does not limit.

For a return or exchange enquiry, contact EMU Design with your invoice or order number and the products concerned.
