Hexagon Acoustic Panels: Sizes, Layout and Installation

BEIEN’s pannelli acustici in legno esagonali measure approximately 565 × 489 mm with an overall thickness of about 24 mm, built on a PET acoustic core with a wood veneer surface. At roughly 0.21 m² per panel by geometry, a honeycomb wall needs about 4.8 panels per square metre before cuts and gaps.

Catalog data for the hexagon format

BEIEN offers OEM and ODM customization of color, dimension, shape, surface, label, logo and packaging at company level. Whether a given change applies to the hexagon format should be confirmed by model.
The SGS fire classification in BEIEN’s records (B-s2,d0 under EN 13501-1:2018) was tested on a 9 mm polyester sound-absorbing board, sample BN-002. It does not transfer to the hexagon panel. If your project requires a fire class, ask for documentation matched to this exact construction.

What the numbers tell you about the shape

565 divided by 489 is about 1.155, which is the ratio between the corner-to-corner and flat-to-flat width of a regular hexagon. That suggests the panel is a regular hexagon with a side of roughly 282.5 mm. This is a derived reading of the catalog figures, so confirm it on the drawing.
If it holds, each panel covers about 0.207 m². A honeycomb field in the flat-top orientation (corners pointing left and right) repeats at:

• 423.75 mm horizontally between adjacent columns (0.75 × 565 mm)
• 489 mm vertically within a column
• 244.5 mm vertical offset between neighbouring columns

If the drawing shows the 565 mm dimension running vertically, swap the horizontal and vertical pitches.

A worked example: one 3.0 m × 2.4 m wall

Assume zero gap between panels.

1. Columns: 565 + (n − 1) × 423.75 must be no more than 3000 mm. Six columns span 2,683.75 mm. A seventh would need 3,107.5 mm and does not fit.
2. Rows: four panels per column take 1,956 mm. Because alternate columns sit 244.5 mm lower, the pattern’s overall height is 2,200.5 mm, inside the 2,400 mm wall.
3. Panel count: 6 × 4 = 24 panels, covering about 4.98 m² of panel area.
4. Leftover: about 316 mm horizontally and 200 mm vertically. The honeycomb edge is also jagged, so a square-edged finish needs half-hexagon cuts.

Panel count is not wall area divided by 0.207. The jagged boundary and any gap you specify both change the order quantity.

Five layout patterns worth considering

• Full honeycomb field. Covers a feature wall edge to edge; the highest panel count, and the one where edge cuts matter most.
• Accent cluster. A compact island of panels placed off-centre behind a desk, reception counter or seating group.
• Horizontal band. One or two rows running at a fixed height, which leaves the pattern’s jagged edge visible as a design feature.
• Fade-out spacing. Panels start tightly packed and spread apart toward one side. Needs a drawn layout because spacing breaks the standard pitch.
• Mixed-finish field. Two or more finishes interleaved. Only viable if the finishes are confirmed for this format and batch-matched.

A six-step layout check before ordering

1. Request the production drawing and confirm 565 × 489 mm and 24 mm.
2. Measure the wall and mark a vertical centerline and a horizontal reference line.
3. Pick an orientation and calculate columns with the pitch values above.
4. Make paper or card templates and lay out a dry run on the floor or wall.
5. Mark outlets, switches, wall corners and door frames, and decide where cuts are needed.
6. Confirm the fixing method and joint gap with BEIEN. These are not specified in the catalog data I have, and they change both panel count and appearance.

FAQ

 What size are BEIEN hexagon acoustic panels?

The 2026 catalog shows approximately 565 × 489 mm and about 24 mm overall thickness. Verify against the production drawing before issuing a specification.

How many panels do I need per square metre?

By geometry, about 4.8 panels per m² with no gaps and no edge cuts. Real quantities are higher because of the jagged boundary and any spacing.

 Are hexagon panels fire rated?

No fire classification specific to this format has been identified. The SGS B-s2,d0 result applies only to the 9 mm BN-002 PET board sample.

Can I get custom colors or veneer finishes?

BEIEN offers customization at company level. Availability for the hexagon format should be confirmed by model.
