What are the wall requirements for installing acoustic wall panels?

When installing wood wall Acoustic Panels, the preparation of the wall surface is crucial. Correct installation not only optimises acoustics but also enhances the durability and aesthetics of the panel. As a leading manufacturer of 3 sides veneer wood slat panels, we recommend following the following wall requirements to ensure the best possible installation.

Firstly, the flatness of the wall surface is a fundamental requirement for the installation of Wood slat panels. Ideally, the wall surface should be flat and smooth, with no visible bumps or unevenness. Any uneven surface may result in a poor installation of the panel, affecting the final visual effect and acoustic performance. Therefore, before installation, the wall surface should be patched and sanded as necessary to ensure that its flatness meets the requirements.

The dryness of the wall surface is equally important. The wall surface must be dry and free of moisture to avoid expansion or distortion of the timber panels due to moisture absorption. We recommend checking the humidity level of the wall prior to installation, especially in humid environments, using a hygrometer to ensure the wall is dry and treating it with dehumidification equipment if necessary.

The cleanliness of the walls should not be overlooked. Before installing Real Wood Slat Panel, the wall should be thoroughly cleaned to remove dust, grease or other impurities. Such dirt may affect the adhesion of the adhesive, resulting in a weak or peeling panel. The cleaned wall can be treated with a suitable cleaner to ensure it is completely clean.

The load-bearing capacity of the wall needs to meet the installation requirements. For large Wood Slat Panel installations, the wall should have sufficient load bearing capacity to support the weight of the panel. Especially when installing on plasterboard or lightweight walls, you need to ensure that the wall is structurally sound and use additional support facilities if necessary.

Finally, pre-installation preparation is also very important. Confirm that all installation tools and materials (e.g. adhesives, nails or screws) are available and follow the Wood slat panel installation instructions. Ensure that each step of the installation process is followed for the best possible installation results.

By following these wall preparation requirements, you can ensure that your wood wall Acoustic Panel installation is both secure and aesthetically pleasing, ultimately achieving the desired acoustic and visual impact. We are committed to helping our customers create the perfect acoustic environment to enhance the overall experience of their space.
