Installation on wall with glue
How should your Akupanel mounted?
To install the panels, you need the following:
- Formwork (we recommend 1.77 inches in thickness).
- A saw – either a circular saw or a normal hacksaw.
- A screwdriver.
- Screws to attach both panels and joists/formwork to the wall.
- Black plaster screws of approx. 1.4 inch. for mounting acoustic panels.
- Possibly. small screws of approx. 0.6 inch. for attaching slats in connection with cutting panels.
- Ruler / tape measure.
- Pencil.

Start by preparing the wall. Wipe the wall with a cloth and remove any screws, nails, and other obstructions so that the wall is completely even. Then you can measure and mark where the panels are to be mounted.
Next mark where you want to place your panels on your surface. In this example, we want to install the panels in the middle of the wall.
If you need to adjust the height of the panel, you can cut it using a circular saw or a jigsaw (a regular saw). Mark the cut line on the panel using a pencil, so you can make a straight cut. After cutting the panel, it’s a good idea to screw the ends of the slats back in place (through the felt and into the slats) using about 0.6 inch. screws. Otherwise, the slats may hang loosely.
Remember to screw the slats in place after cutting
After cutting the panel, it’s a good idea to screw the ends of the slats back in place (through the felt and into the slats) using about 0.6 inch. screws. Otherwise, the slats may hang loosely.
Repeat through each slat.
Start by cutting the top of a glue tube and inserting it into the glue dispenser. Then distribute the glue evenly on the felt on the back of a panel.
Now you are ready to install the panels. Place the panel against the wall on the marked area on the wall. Press the panel against the wall over the entire surface, so that the glue is well distributed and sticks. Within 20-30 seconds, the glue will secure the panel to the wall without further support needed. Check if the panel is installed straight by using a spirit level along the way.
When you reach the end of your wall, you may need to cut the panel to fit in width.
You can adjust the panels in width by cutting the felt with a knife.
Then glue the last part of the panel onto the wall.
To get a neat finish to your wall, you can add end-lamellas. Each panel has a felt and a slat side. In case your wall ends with a slat side, you will need to cut off the final slat in order to make sure that the panels gets two felt sides.
Now load your caulking gun with mounting glue and apply a thin layer to your end-lamella. Carefully place the end-lamella to your wall.
