How to install acoustic panels directly on the wall

Mounting directly on the wall is the simplest solution, often chosen for private homes. It requires minimal tools and creates a clean, tight look with no visible gaps. This approach is ideal for spaces where a seamless and aesthetic finish is desired, and where maximum sound absorption is not essential. It’s best suited for flat and stable walls – for example in living rooms, bedrooms, or entryways.

Advantages:
  • Easy and quick installation
  • Minimal impact on the structure of the home
  • Suitable for light acoustic improvement

Guide

Here we guide you safely through the process of mounting your acoustic panels directly on the wall. It’s a simple and effective method that most people can manage with a bit of basic tooling and patience.
Step 1

Measure up

Start by measuring the wall you want to cover – both height and width. This will give you an overview of how many panels you need and whether any of them need to be adjusted.
Step 2

Trim the panels

If the panels need to be trimmed in length or width, we recommend using a plunge saw or circular saw for a clean and precise cut. To protect the surface, you can place a piece of painter’s tape over the area you plan to cut. This reduces the risk of fraying when the saw cuts through the slats.
Step 3

Prepare the screws

Before mounting the panel, it’s a good idea to place the 15 screws you’ll be using in advance. This makes installation easier and ensures the screws are aligned and evenly spaced. Use a tape measure or folding ruler to keep it neat and precise. Remember to use wall plugs if your wall requires them.
Step 4

Mount the panel

Now you can screw the panel directly onto the wall – drive the screws through the felt and into the wall using the prepared screws. Repeat the process, panel by panel, until the entire wall is covered.
Note!

If you have a power outlet

Measure where the cutout should be, and use a plunge saw, circular saw, or multitool to cut through the panel. Use a utility knife to carefully cut the felt. If a slat comes loose, it can easily be reattached with a drop of super glue. If you want a clean and defined finish around the cutout, we recommend using our frames, which are designed to give a neat and professional result.
