FAQs
Can I install these panels in a bathroom?
These panels are intended for indoor, dry environments and are not recommended for high-humidity areas like bathrooms.
Do I need special tools for installation?
Basic tools such as a level, measuring tape, and either a saw for trimming or a drill for screw mounting are sufficient.
Can I paint the slats?
The slats come with a finished wood veneer; painting them is not recommended as it may affect the aesthetic and finish quality.
Are the panels heavy?
While sturdy, they are lightweight enough for one-person handling, though a second pair of hands is helpful for alignment.
How do I clean the acoustic backing?
Use a soft brush attachment on your vacuum to gently remove dust from the felt backing.
Troubleshooting
Panel is not sitting flush against the wall
Check the wall for high spots or debris; sand down uneven surfaces or ensure the adhesive is applied evenly.
Difficulty in cutting panels to size
Use a fine-tooth handsaw or circular saw with a finish blade to prevent splintering of the veneer.
Adhesive not bonding effectively
Ensure the wall surface is clean and free of dust, paint flakes, or moisture before applying adhesive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is intended to be a straightforward DIY task. Ensure your wall is clean, dry, and flat before beginning. Panels can be mounted using either high-strength construction adhesive for a seamless look or screws driven through the acoustic felt into the wall studs. For vertical installations, ensure the first panel is perfectly plumb to keep the entire row aligned. Regarding care, the panels are low maintenance; simply wipe the surface occasionally with a dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive sponges that could damage the wood veneer finish.
