Faster, Better, Cheaper: Pick Three

Trava Acoustic Wood Wall and Ceiling Panels

Say bye-bye 
to fiberboard.

Trava is the next generation of wood panels.

Its noise cancelling core adds function, its updated materials are eco-friendly and dramatically reduce weight, and its installation is simpler. Only the great look of the old panels remains.

Our wood architectural finishings systems are designed to seamlessly cover larger surface areas. It's never been easier to transform simple walls into a stunning ambient or accent addition while solving the space's sound challenge. Also, Trava works with universal and custom hardware.

We will always shoot you straight.

Trava panels aren't the best option for all applications. We don't recommend them in high traffic areas that need to withstand heavy damage.

Instead, we work closely with Jacaranda and other hard surface providers to seamlessly integrate and sequence wood selections from acoustic panels to MDF to real wood.

Simply put, you won't get this kind of transparency from other companies. We believe in being up-front and working together with you towards the best solution.

Take less. Make right. Re-use.

We believe in sourcing with a conscience. We partner with suppliers that think environment-first.

Designing with intention is a commitment. It means you not only design for look and function, but also to minimize the product you need to make it.

Sonus will reclaim or re-use any of our acoustic panels. And we’ll even pay for the shipping.

Use Trava Acoustic Panels for your project.
