Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I fit acoustic wall panels?
Begin by preparing a clean, dry, and level wall surface. Use a spirit level and pencil to mark your panel positions. For felt or foam panels, peel off the backing and stick them in place, pressing firmly for a secure bond. Heavier wood-slat panels can be fixed using adhesive pads or screws—simply pre-drill pilot holes through the panel backing, align with your marks, and fasten to the substrate.

2. How can I cut acoustic panels to size?
Most acoustic panels (felt, foam, or thin wood slats) can be trimmed with standard DIY tools. For felt and foam, use a sharp utility knife or craft knife with a straight edge for clean cuts. Wood-slat panels may require a fine-tooth saw, jigsaw, or circular saw—support the panel fully and cut slowly to prevent splintering. Always wear safety gear and measure twice before cutting.

3. What’s the difference between fitting and installing acoustic panels?
“Fitting” usually refers to applying panels directly to a smooth wall (peel-and-stick or adhesive pads), ideal for lightweight panels. “Installing” covers a more robust method—mounting panels on timber battens or creating a frame—best for heavier wood or large-format panels. Installation offers better airflow behind panels and enhanced acoustic performance.

4. Do acoustic panels actually work?
Yes—quality acoustic panels absorb and dampen sound waves, reducing echo and improving speech clarity. Materials like recycled PET felt and high-density foam trap noise energy, converting it to heat. While they won’t block external noise completely, panels can cut reverberation times by up to 50–70%, transforming the feel of any room.

5. How do I fix loose or damaged acoustic panels?
For adhesive-mounted panels that have lifted, clean both surfaces and reapply a high-strength mounting tape or panel-specific adhesive. If panels are mounted on battens with clips or screws, simply retighten or replace the fixings. For damaged panels, you can often swap out individual sections without disturbing the entire installation.
