Acoustic Slat Wall Panels Installation

STEP 1: Preparing the Wall

Start by preparing the wall. Wipe the wall with a cloth and remove any screws, nails, loose paint and other obstructions so that the wall is completely even.

Type A: you can choose to install AcousticPanel directly on the wall.

Type B: you can choose to mount battens on the wall and insert mineral wool between the battens to achieve Class A acoustic performance. We recommend that you keep a distance of 60cm between the battens.

STEP 2: Measuring the Height and Width

Use the measuring tape to measure the width and height of the wall and mark the cutting lines on the panel with a pencil.

If installed on top of the skirting, the panels will only need to be cut to the top of the skirting, not the whole wall height.

It is recommended to install the panels above the skirting to protect the panels from knocks and scratches.

STEP 3: Cutting the Panels

Cut panels to the length needed using the saw or circular saw. It is recommended that you sand the cut with sandpaper for a better result.

Cut panels to the width needed using the utility knife.

STEP 4: Mounting the Panels

It is recommended to use black screws to screw through the black felt into the wall, and use silver or grey screws for the grey and white felt for a better effect.

And be aware you should join the tongue side with the groove side when installing each panel.

Type A: you can choose to glue straight onto the wall

A construction-grade structural adhesive is recommended for this. Apply the adhesive to the back in a zigzag pattern, and press the panel into place on the wall.

Type B: you can screw directly onto the wall

Mount the acoustic slat wall panels on the wall by drilling screws (min. 3.5mm × 35mm). Take 2400mm×600mm for example, we recommend 15 screws of 3 screws per row for each panel.

Type C: you can choose to glue and screw the panels onto the wall

First, add structural adhesive to the backing felt of the panel and glue onto the wall, then strengthen with screws. 5-star recommended for a longer life span.

And if you choose to have hangers and small shelves installed onto the wall, then we strongly suggest that you both glue and screw the panels.

Type D: for battens with mineral wool

Insert mineral wool (recommended 45mm thickness) between the battens and install the acoustic slat wall panels using screws (min. 3.5mm × 35mm) into the battens.

STEP 5: Cutting the Panels in Width

When reaching the end of the wall you might need to adjust the panels using the utility knife to the width needed to make the panels fit.

Optional:
You can also choose to use the end cap to close the end. The panels will need to be installed first. Use construction adhesive from top to bottom on the back of the end cap, and stick onto the panels and wall.
