PLAN AHEAD
- Remove any screws, nails or other fixtures from your wall.
- Make sure your wall is clean, smooth and level.
- Unbox all your packages and check the panels.
- Decide on your layout and cut the panels to size if needed.
MAKE THE CUT
- Measure where you want to cut.
- Mark a straight line with a square tool and pencil.
- Cut the panel horizontally with a fine-toothed hand saw or cut the felt backing vertically with a sharp utility knife.
FORM A STRONG BOND
With screws:
-
Install your first panel by aligning 15 screws in rows of three and fixing it to your wall. Pick screws in a colour that coordinates with your felt backing and use the appropriate fixings for your wall (e.g. wall plugs).
Top tip: for 2400mm height panels, space the rows 575mm apart. For 3000mm height panels, space the rows 725mm apart.
Make sure the outer screws are 50mm from the panel’s edge. -
For maximum (Class A) acoustic performance, install the panels onto 45mm (D) battens with 45mm mineral wool between each batten.
-
Repeat for each panel.
Important: if installing the panels on a ceiling, fix the screws to structural points such as joists.
With Hybrid Grab Adhesive:
-
Apply Hybrid Grab Adhesive in three wavy lines on the back length of your first panel.
Top tip: one tube of adhesive covers three panels. -
Position the panel against your wall and press firmly to secure it.
-
Repeat for each panel.
DO AS YOU SEE FIT
If adding fixtures and fittings, such as shelves or TV brackets, drill through
the panel and sub wall, then use appropriate wall plugs and screws.
