Ready To Go!!!

Now that you have all the tools needed to make the installation smooth, we are ready to go!!!

Step One

To start, we recommend measuring the vertical distance of the wall, mark the location of cut on the panel, apply a strip of masking tape along the area that you are going to cut, using your carpenter pencil strike a line across.

Cut the panel to the correct height using your saw, for the best results use a good quality sharp blade, make sure to remove the masking tape after cutting.

Step Two

If slats on panel are loose after cutting, secure slats by inserting 15mm long screws through back of panel, through the felt and into the slats ensuring that screw heads are flush with back face of felt backing. Check the panel fit on the wall. Next, apply a panel adhesive to the back of the panel. One standard bottle should be enough to install 3 panels.

Working from left to right, carefully offer the panel up to the wall, ensuring that the panel side where the slat projects past the backing is to the left hand side, and the open side where the slat is set back is to right hand side, ready to accept next panel. Lead with the bottom edge, then locate fully up into position. Press panel at top, middle and bottom locations to ensure adhesive is pressed up against the wall.

Repeat this process with the remaining full width panels, when you come to the end of the wall, it may be necessary to cut the last panel to the correct, repeat this process for the rest of the space you want to fill!

Now you have your amazing Acoustic Panel set up and looking gorgeous you can sit back and revel in your hard work.
