Behind the slat sits a PET acoustic backing produced in-house. The MDF component follows an E0-grade raw material policy per BEIEN&#8217;s documentation.<br \/>\nPET Slat Panels skip the MDF and veneer layers entirely. The slat itself is 100% polyester fiber, drawing on the same in-house PET felt production line that supplies the wood series&#8217; backing. That difference matters for weight, moisture exposure, and machining \u2014 a veneered MDF slat behaves differently on-site than a felt-fiber slat \u2014 but BEIEN&#8217;s documentation doesn&#8217;t currently publish a per-panel or per-m\u00b2 weight for either line, so any weight-based load calculation still needs to come from a direct factory confirmation rather than the catalog.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2769 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bnpanel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/foam-vs.-PET-felt-vs.-wood-slats.webp\" alt=\"Schaumstoff vs. PET-Filz vs. Holzlatten\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bnpanel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/foam-vs.-PET-felt-vs.-wood-slats.webp 600w, https:\/\/bnpanel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/foam-vs.-PET-felt-vs.-wood-slats-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/bnpanel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/foam-vs.-PET-felt-vs.-wood-slats-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/bnpanel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/foam-vs.-PET-felt-vs.-wood-slats-12x12.webp 12w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Spec and Dimension Comparison<\/h2>\n<table border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Attribut<\/td>\n<td>Wood Slat Panels (BN-01\u2013BN-05)<\/td>\n<td>PET-Lamellenpaneele<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Kernmaterial<\/td>\n<td>MDF slats, approximately 760\u2013800 kg\/m\u00b3<\/td>\n<td>100% Polyesterfaser<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Surface<\/td>\n<td>Wood veneer, approximately 0.4\u20130.5 mm<\/td>\n<td>Polyester fiber without veneer<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Acoustic Backing<\/td>\n<td>In-house-produced PET felt<\/td>\n<td>The same in-house PET felt process, integrated into the slat<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Raw Material Grade<\/td>\n<td>E0-grade MDF policy<\/td>\n<td>100% Polyesterfaser<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Catalog Dimensions (2026)<\/td>\n<td>2400\/2700\/3000 \u00d7 605 \u00d7 18\/21 mm<\/td>\n<td>2400\/2700\/3000 \u00d7 605 \u00d7 18\/21 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Product-Page Dimensions<\/td>\n<td>No conflicting dimensions found<\/td>\n<td>1220 \u00d7 2440 mm; thicknesses of 6, 9, 12 and 24 mm\u2014conflicts with the 2026 catalog figures above<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Published NRC\/\u03b1w<\/td>\n<td>Not published<\/td>\n<td>Not published<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fire Classification on File<\/td>\n<td>None specific to this construction<\/td>\n<td>None specific to this construction (see below)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><strong><b>What Each Certificate Actually Covers<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bnpanel.com\/de\/zertifikat\/\">BEIEN<\/a> holds an FSC Chain of Custody certificate (GFA-COC-008037) issued by GFA Certification GmbH under FSC-STD-40-004, Version 3.1, valid from 29 October 2024 to 28 October 2029. Its published scope covers timber-based products, including wooden sound-absorbing boards \u2014 relevant to the BN wood slat line in principle, but the certificate doesn&#8217;t list every model by name, so the specific BN part number and order volume should be confirmed against the certificate scope before an FSC claim goes into a spec sheet.<\/p>\n<p>The CE Type Examination Certificate (DE\/7552), issued by CSI S.p.A. in Italy under EN 15102:2007+A1:2011, covers a product described as &#8220;BEIEN WALL PANEL&#8221; \u2014 a decorative wall covering. This is a wall-application certificate. Whether it extends to ceiling installations of the same slat product hasn&#8217;t been confirmed, so a ceiling spec built on this CE number is not yet supportable.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the edge case worth flagging directly: BEIEN&#8217;s only fire classification on file is an SGS test (report SHFS2403000289FF, EN 13501-1:2018, classification B-s2,d0) run on a flat 9mm PET board sample, model BN-002, at a density of 1700 g\/m\u00b2. That&#8217;s a board \u2014 not a slat panel of either material. Carrying a flat-board fire result over to a slat-format product, wood or PET, is exactly the kind of certificate-scope error this comparison is meant to prevent. If a project spec requires a fire rating for the finished slat assembly, that needs a separate test on the slat construction itself.<\/p>\n<h2>MOQ and Pricing \u2014 What&#8217;s Still Unresolved<\/h2>\n<p>BEIEN&#8217;s own pages disagree on minimum order quantity: company history and<a href=\"https:\/\/bnpanel.com\/de\/masgeschneiderter-service\/\"> customized-service<\/a> pages state 50 panels, while some individual product pages list 100. This applies to both slat lines and hasn&#8217;t been standardized, so confirm the current MOQ for the specific model and finish at quoting stage rather than assuming either figure.<br \/>\nPricing is quotation-based and depends on panel type, dimensions, thickness, surface finish, fire-performance requirements, customization level, packaging, order quantity, and shipping terms \u2014 there&#8217;s no published price range for either the BN series or PET Slat Panels to cite here.How This Construction Compares to the Broader Market<br \/>\nCompared to common wood-slat wall systems on the market, which typically combine an MDF or solid-wood slat face with a separately sourced PET felt backer, BEIEN&#8217;s BN series follows the same general principle \u2014 a veneered slat over a felt acoustic layer \u2014 but ties the felt component to its own in-house PET production rather than a third-party felt supplier. That doesn&#8217;t change the physics of the assembly, but it does mean the backing material&#8217;s specification traces back to one factory&#8217;s documentation rather than a separate vendor&#8217;s data sheet.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5606 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bnpanel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/downloaded-image-2.webp\" alt=\"Akustikplatten Lebensdauer Haltbarkeit PET und Holzlamellen-Akustikplatten\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bnpanel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/downloaded-image-2.webp 600w, https:\/\/bnpanel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/downloaded-image-2-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/bnpanel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/downloaded-image-2-18x12.webp 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3>Does BEIEN&#8217;s SGS fire test cover the slat panels in this comparison?<\/h3>\n<p>No. The B-s2,d0 classification (SGS SHFS2403000289FF, EN 13501-1:2018) was tested on a 9mm flat PET board sample, model BN-002 \u2014 not on a wood slat or PET slat panel assembly.<\/p>\n<h3>Are wood slat and PET slat panels the same size?<\/h3>\n<p>The 2026 catalog lists both at 2400\/2700\/3000 \u00d7 605mm, 18 or 21mm thick.
