Slatpanel® Oak Fire-Rated Acoustic Slat Wall Panel

Introducing the Slatpanel® Fire-Rated Oak Acoustic Slat Wall Panel - the same iconic slat design you know, engineered to meet the fire safety demands of commercial construction without compromising on the quality of the finish. Fire safety compliance is non-negotiable in commercial projects, but that has historically meant accepting a trade-off on aesthetics. The Slatpanel® Fire-Rated range changes that. Rated Class A against ASTM E84 - the highest achievable classification for interior wall panels - these panels give architects, designers, and specifiers the confidence to use real wood slat panelling in projects where fire performance is a code requirement, without reaching for a lesser finish or a synthetic alternative. Each panel features the same real oak wood veneer wrap as our standard range. The slats are fully wrapped in genuine veneer, so you get the authentic grain pattern, natural depth, and tactile warmth of real wood - not a printed effect, not a foil - on a panel that has earned its Class A credentials. When acoustic performance is also a project requirement, the Fire-Rated panels deliver Class A acoustic ratings too, when installed to the correct specification. The panels are designed to pair with the full Slatpanel® accessories range, so finishing the installation is as straightforward as any other panel in the lineup. Suitable for a wide range of commercial applications - from hotel and hospitality environments to corporate offices, high-end retail, and multi-residential developments - the Slatpanel® Fire-Rated range makes it possible to specify real wood slat panelling with confidence wherever fire safety compliance is required.   Key Features: Class A Fire Rating: Tested and rated Class A against ASTM E84, the highest achievable fire rating for interior wall panels Real Wood Veneer Finish: Fully wrapped slats in genuine oak wood veneer, delivering authentic grain, depth, and warmth Dual-Purpose Performance: Combines Class A fire protection with Class A acoustic performance in a single panel Superior Acoustic Properties: Reduces echo and reverberation for improved sound quality in commercial spaces Iconic Slat Design: The same timeless vertical slat profile as the standard Slatpanel® range Available in Oak and Walnut: Two premium real wood veneer finishes to suit a range of commercial interior schemes Compatible with Slatpanel® Accessories: Pairs with the full Slatpanel® accessories range for a complete, coordinated installation For Indoor Use Only: Designed and rated for interior applications   The warmth of natural timber, with the fire protection your project demands The oak finish brings a natural, mid-tone warmth to commercial interiors that benefits from real wood veneer depth and character. It pairs effortlessly with warm neutrals, brushed brass and bronze hardware, and stone or concrete surfaces - making it a strong choice for hotel lobbies, upscale apartment communal spaces, office reception areas, and high-end retail environments. Oak reads as welcoming and sophisticated without being loud, making it one of the most versatile finishes for large-scale commercial feature walls where the design needs to work hard across multiple lighting conditions and viewing distances.   Fire-Rating Notice - Do Not Paint or Finish The fire rating is only valid on the panel as supplied; additional paints or finishes will invalidate the rating   Installation Notice The fire rated panels only achieve the full Class A fire rating and Class A acoustic rating when installed on a gypsum plasterboard substrate rated Class A, with 1.77" furr-outs and insulation material. There is to be no air gap. If you are only installing the panels for the fire-rating benefits, there is no need for the 1.77" furr-outs or acoustic insulation — you can install straight onto your suitable substrate, as outlined above, with no air gap. Valid for vertical and horizontal slat installations. Do not apply any additional paints or finishes to the panel, as this will invalidate the fire rating.
