Follow these steps for a successful installation of acoustic slat panels:

1. Decide on Panel Orientation

Traditional Orientation: Panels are typically installed vertically for a classic look.
Alternative Layouts: Experiment with horizontal or diagonal arrangements to match your design vision.

2. Calculate the Number of Panels Needed

Each panel measures 2400mm (length) x 600mm (width).
Panels are pre-finished, ensuring seamless alignment without trimming for width.
Measure your wall area and divide by the coverage per panel: Number of Panels = Wall Area (mm) / Panel Coverage (2400mm x 600mm)

3. Prepare the Wall

Ensure the surface is flat, smooth, dry, and dust-free.
Clean the wall thoroughly to remove grease or dust for optimal adhesion.
Mark and prepare for any light fittings, switches, or sockets, ensuring holes align with the panel layout.

4. Cutting Panels

5. Apply Adhesive to Panels

Use a quick-grab, solvent-free adhesive such as Fix-All High Tack or other Fix-All variants.
Apply adhesive in circular patterns, ensuring even coverage, particularly along edges. Avoid over-application to prevent adhesive bleeding through panel joints.

6. Begin Panel Installation

Install panels from left to right or bottom to top, based on the chosen orientation.
Check the first panel's alignment using a spirit level—this sets the foundation for subsequent panels.
Confirm fit and alignment before pressing the panel onto the wall.

7. Socket and Switch Assembly

Pre-cut holes for sockets or switches using a jigsaw or multitool.
Ensure the faceplates are securely fastened; longer screws may be required to accommodate panel thickness.

8. Fixing Items to the Panels

Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to set before attaching shelves, TVs, or other items.
Secure heavy items by fixing screws into the substrate (wall behind the panel) for structural integrity. The slat panel alone should not bear the weight.
