FAQs
What is the primary function of these wall panels?
The primary function is to enhance the aesthetics of a space while also improving its acoustics by reducing echo and reverberation.
Can these panels be used in bathrooms or kitchens?
While the panels are suitable for many spaces, they are not designed for areas with high moisture levels. Avoid installing them in bathrooms or kitchens with direct water exposure.
What is the best way to cut the panels?
Use a fine-tooth saw, such as a circular saw or a table saw, to get clean, precise cuts. Measure carefully before cutting.
What type of adhesive should I use?
Use a construction adhesive specifically designed for interior wall applications. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for application.
Are these panels fire-resistant?
The panels are made of MDF and acoustic felt and are not explicitly fire-rated. Check local building codes for fire safety requirements if they apply to your project.
Can I paint these panels?
It is generally not recommended to paint the panels, as it may affect their acoustic properties and appearance. The Slate Grey finish is designed to be aesthetically pleasing as is.
How do I calculate how many panels I need?
Measure the wall's height and width. Calculate the total square footage and divide by the coverage area of one panel (240cm x 60cm). Always order extra panels to account for cuts and potential errors.
Troubleshooting

Ensure the wall surface is clean and dry. Use a high-quality construction adhesive and apply sufficient pressure during installation. Consider using additional mechanical fasteners if needed.
