Decorative Acoustic Wall Panels – Slatted Wall Panels – by Luvanto Moods, extended information
Preparation
The wall must be clean and free from loose paint, wallpaper and plaster. Any fixings such as screws or nails must be removed.
Cutting Panels to Size
To cut across the wood slats you can use a fine tooth hand saw or power saw.
To cut in the same direction as the slats use a sharp utility knife to cut through the black felt backing.
Methods for Fixing to the Wall
The panels can be mounted using grab adhesive or screws. We recommend screws as the better option – especially if the wall is not perfectly flat.
Option 1: Fixing With Screws
Use 12 black drywall screws (ideal size 3.5mm x 35mm) per full panel in the positions shown.
These should be screwed through the black felt backing between the slats.
Ensure you use wall plugs which are suitable for the wall you are fixing the panels to.
Mark out and drill the holes in the wall for the wall plugs.
Fix the screws through into the wall plugs leaving the screw heads flush with the backing.
Option 2: Fixing With Grab Adhesive
Use a solvent free grab adhesive applied using a cartridge gun.
Apply this to the back of the panel in a wave pattern as shown.
Place the panel against the wall in position straight away and press firmly all over the panel to ensure good contact of the adhesive to the wall.
Option To Improve Sound Reduction
If you would like to maximise the sound deadening effect, we recommend fixing timber battens horizontally to the wall first and putting mineral wool between the battens. The panels should then be screwed to the battens to conceal the mineral wool.
