Acoustic Slat Panel Installation Guide

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
  • Mark measurements on the back of the panel.
  • Use a fine-tooth handsaw, jigsaw, or multitool for precise cuts.
  • Test the cut panel for fit before applying adhesive.
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.
Pro Tips
  • Double-check all measurements and alignments before applying adhesive.
  • Use protective gloves to handle adhesive and tools safely.
  • Take your time with the first panel to ensure the rest align perfectly.
Enjoy the enhanced aesthetics and functionality of your newly installed acoustic slat panels!
