FAQ
CLEANING & INDOOR CLIMATE
12. How do I clean Whisperwool in everyday use? The wool fibers are constantly in micro-movement due to sound waves and air currents, which means they hardly get dirty and dust has difficulty adhering to them. Wool contains natural lanolin, which wicks dirt away – so the panels are largely self-cleaning. For heavier soiling, they can simply be vacuumed. More stubborn areas can also be easily sprayed with a solution of baking soda and water and then vacuumed.
13. What happens in case of stains or soiling? Coffee stains and similar soiling can be rinsed out. Whisperwool is moisture-resistant and can also be used in damp rooms without being damaged.
14. Does Whisperwool regulate the room climate? Yes. Sheep's wool can absorb up to a third of its own weight in moisture and release it again when the air is dry. This has a balancing effect on the room climate and ensures a pleasant atmosphere.
15. Are Whisperwool panels suitable for allergy and asthma sufferers? Yes. A true sheep's wool allergy only occurs with poorly washed wool. Whisperwool uses very carefully cleaned wool, so no allergy is to be expected. What people often perceive as a "wool allergy" is usually a contact reaction, which can also occur with other materials.
DIMENSIONS & ASSEMBLY
7. What are the standard dimensions of Whisperwool panels? The standard panel size is 90 × 90 cm. Larger formats of 180 × 90 cm are also available for commercial applications.
8. How thick are the Whisperwool panels? The standard thickness is 12 mm. Embossed panels are available in thicknesses of 17 to 25 mm and also create a textured, decorative surface.
9. How are Whisperwool panels installed? The panels are attached as wainscoting using fine brad nails and, for added security, are also glued. This combination ensures a permanently secure installation on walls and ceilings.
10. Can I install Whisperwool myself? Yes, Whisperwool can be installed by experienced DIYers. Optimal results are achieved with trained professionals who are familiar with the material.
11. Can the panels be removed or repaired? Yes. Whisperwool panels can be removed and reinstalled elsewhere. Minor repairs to the panel itself are also possible – the material is also largely self-cleaning.

Raumakustik befasst sich damit, wie sich Schall innerhalb eines Raumes verhält – und wie man es so gestaltet, dass es zur Nutzung passt. Ein Büro braucht kurze Nachhallzeiten und gute Sprachverständlichkeit. Ein Konzertsaal braucht längeren, warmen Nachhall. Ein Restaurant braucht eine angenehme Lautstärke trotz vieler gleichzeitiger Gespräche. Raumakustik berücksichtigt Nachhallzeit, Reflexionen, Absorptionsflächen und die Wahrnehmung des menschlichen Gehörs.
