Acoustic Wall Panel Sample

We’re pretty confident you’ll love our acoustic  panels as much as we do, but when it comes to a project as important as a renovation, we always recommend that you order a sample to really get a true sense of the colour, finish and quality of the product. 

Simply click on your preferred colour-way and ‘Add to Cart’. Shipping is included in the price of the sample and providing you're only ordering samples, they will be dispatched the following working day and sent via Royal Mail 2nd Class service. Delivery is currently only available for mainland England & Wales.

Please note: If you order a sample alongside any other products from our website, the delivery of your sample will be made at the same time as your order; within 2-5 working days via our in-house delivery team.

Sample size: 130mm x 170mm.

To fix the panels to the wall using adhesive, we recommend using Easy Panels High Strength Cladding Adhesive. You will need 1 tube for each small (1200mm) panel, and 2 tubes for each of the larger panels (2400mm/2600cm).

When screwing the panels to timber battens or plasterboard, we recommend purchasing a box of Black Drywall Screws.

To finish your panelling and hide the exposed edge of the black felt backing, you will need to purchase an End Trim. These trims seamlessly finish your panelling to give the impression of a solid-wood edge

Pre-installation Advice:

• Please inspect all items following your delivery to ensure they meet your expectations. Any damages, defects, or returns, must be reported with 14-days of delivery.
• Prior to installation all panels must be stored flat, resting on a surface that supports the entirety of panel to prevent any bowing. Do not store externally; the area must be dry with low humidity levels.
• Our wood-slat wall panels are not suitable for damp environments, areas with high humidity, or direct water contact. For this reason, they should not be installed in bathrooms.
• This product is not intended for outdoor installations.
• The panels are manufactured from natural wood veneers and some variation between the colour and grain is to be expected.
  

Installation Advice:

Our wood-slat panels are suitable for horizontal or vertical alignment and have been designed with easy installation in mind.

You can mount the panels to most interior surfaces including brick, concrete, plasterboard, and battens - providing the substrate is sound, dry and dust-free. Simply secure using either a high-grab adhesive or black screws.

To fix the panels to the wall using adhesive, we recommend using Easy Panels High-Strength Cladding Adhesive. You will need 1 tube for each small panel (1200mm), and 2 tubes for each of the larger panels (2400mm/2600mm). Apply the adhesive liberally to the reverse of the panel in a vertical zig-zag formation before securing it in place. To prevent the adhesive exuding, maintain a distance of around 50mm from the panel edge. 

When screwing the panels to timber battens or plasterboard, we recommend purchasing a pack of black drywall screws and fixing through the felt base at 200mm intervals across the width, and 800mm intervals down the length of the panel. Ensure outer screws are kept at least 50mm away from the edge of the panel. Black screws provide a discreet fixing against the black felt backing.

If you are wanting to install the panels over wallpaper, we’d suggest screwing them to the substrate. Wallpaper paste cannot guarantee to provide the necessary strength required for the wood panels to adhere to. 

If you want to enhance the acoustic performance of the panels, we recommend installing onto 45mm battens and using a sound insulation material (i.e. mineral wool) to fill the area between the battens and the panel. Our panels are supplied with a sound absorption coefficient of 0.3 prior to any enhancements.

To begin installing your panels, align them from left to right along your wall, ensuring the felt lip is on the right and the first wooden-slat is flush with the edge of the wall. The lip on the felt base has been designed to interlock seamlessly with the adjoining panel to disguise any joins and present a flawless finish.

When cutting your wood-slat panels to size, we advise using a fine-toothed handsaw for higher precision in place of powered tools. A finer cut will help to eliminate any spurs and splintered edges. A sharp Stanley knife can be used to slice the felt vertically.

To install lightweight fixtures, such as picture hangings, you will need to pierce the felt backing and affix to the substrate. Do not use the wooden-slats on the panel to support any decorative fixtures. For heavy fixtures, such as TV mounts or shelving, please install these prior to fitting the panels and later cut the panel to accommodate such features. 

To finish any exposed edges on the panel, we recommend purchasing and installing our End Trim. These finishing trims are available in a range of colours to match your chosen panel and they will hide the exposed edge of the black felt backing, giving the impression of a solid-wood edge.

To keep your panels looking great, use a soft and dry lint-free cloth that will prevent scratches while capturing dust particles. A telescopic duster can also be used to manage those hard-to-reach areas. Avoid using rough materials or any moisture on the panels. If preferred, you can vacuum the recess between the slats using a slim end attachment to capture the nooks where dust tends to accumulate.
