How can I fit acoustic wall panels?

Acoustic wall panels remain popular for two main reasons: their ability to absorb noise and their easy installation. No one wants home improvement to be lengthy or time-consuming, so it makes sense to choose a design feature that makes an impact without being complicated. Here, we look at the different ways to fit acoustic wall panels, why they’re the perfect option for a quick makeover and what makes them a low-maintenance option.   

What should I consider before I fit my acoustic wall panels?

Acoustic wall panels are boards that are covered in soft materials or mounted against felted fabric to help absorb sound. How you choose to install them will depend on a number of factors, such as the type of panel you’ve gone for and the surface they’re being attached to. It’s also worth considering whether you want to fit your acoustic wall panels on a temporary basis or if you want them to be a permanent fixture because that can influence the installation method you choose.

Ensure you have a Hammer and nails

Our Wondawall™ range makes fitting acoustic wall panels stress-free. To make the most of their sound-absorbing properties, we recommend using the correct fixings to screw the panels into batons or directly into the wall or ceiling joists. We are happy to advise on the best screws to use as this can sometimes depend on the wall surface you’re fixing them to.

Wondawall™ adhesive

If you’d rather give hammers and nails a miss, you can also fit your acoustic wall panels using strong glue. Dab our Wondawall™ grab adhesive across the corners and throughout the middle of the panel before pressing it onto the wall and holding it in place for a minute or two. This method is ideal if you want to test the water with your new panels and make sure you’re happy with them before screwing them into place.

What are the other benefits of choosing to fit acoustic wall panels?

Along with being easy to install, acoustic wall panels remain a popular choice because of their ability to absorb sound at home or in commercial buildings. Their resistance to scuffs and everyday knocks makes them a more durable option than wallpaper, while their variety of shades means you won’t have any difficulty finding a style to suit your home’s character and colour scheme. Flooring Direct’s range of acoustic wall panels is also designed with sustainably in mind. Made from 100% recyclable materials, their green credentials make them an ethical choice that is both long-lasting and easy to maintain when life is busy enough.
