What Adeqo does
Adeqo supplies premium wall panels that bring warmth to a room and address a practical need: reverberation in an office or restaurant, fire requirements in a public building, or a living room that sounds too echoey. Most of our panels go into business projects.
Acoustic wall panels
The Adeqo Akupanel combines wooden slats with real veneer on three sides and a 9 mm recycled PET felt backing. Available in 14 colours and two lengths, with Class A sound absorption in the tested installation configuration. It reduces reverberation and gives a wall character.

Fire-retardant panel range
For schools, healthcare, hospitality and other projects with fire requirements. The felt and fire-retardant MDF core have separate B-s1,d0 component reports. This does not establish the classification of the veneered slats or complete panel. Classification documentation is available for your project.

Composite cladding
The warmth and rhythm of a timber facade, without painting, staining or sealing. Rhombus profiles in three colours, with matching corner and end profiles.

Finishing and installation
End trims, individual slats, High Tack adhesive and accessories in colours that match the panels. For a clean finish, including around corners and sockets.

What makes Adeqo different
Acoustic panels can look similar online. The differences are in the materials, the tested performance and the people you can call for advice.
Real wood veneer on three sides as standard
At Adeqo, veneer on three sides is standard. Each slat has real wood veneer on the front and both sides, with no decorative foil or print. You see real wood from the side too, especially when light falls across the wall.
Acoustic performance backed by testing
The Akupanel achieves Class A sound absorption and NRC 0.90 in the tested installation configuration, measured in a reverberation chamber to EN ISO 354. Class A is the highest absorption class on this scale; there is no Class A+.
Clear about fire classification
For standard panels, B-s1,d0 applies to the felt. The fire-retardant range also uses separately classified MDF; this does not classify the complete veneered panel. Adeqo explains which classification applies so you can specify the appropriate product for your project.

The team behind Adeqo
Adeqo grew out of Godu in 2023, when increasing numbers of businesses asked for acoustic products: offices, hospitality venues and interior specialists seeking calmer spaces and lasting quality.
That demand deserved a dedicated brand. Adeqo focuses on premium acoustic wall panels with real veneer on three sides as standard, tested absorption performance and a team familiar with business projects. The fire-retardant range and composite cladding were added later.
Adeqo is part of Godu B.V. Our advice, sales and customer service teams work together in Naarden. When you call or email, you reach someone who knows the product and can follow your question through.
