Guide

Would you like to give your acoustic panels a warmer appearance while protecting the surface? Oiling is a simple and effective solution. It enhances the natural grain of the wood and provides a durable finish that is easy to maintain. Follow the guide below to achieve a beautiful and long-lasting result – whether you’re working with new or older panels.

What you’ll need:

  • Maintenance oil
  • Paint roller
  • Cloth or an old piece of fabric
  • Tray for oil/paint
  • Disposable gloves
Step 1

Prepare the oil

Shake the oil thoroughly to evenly distribute pigments and binder. Then pour it into a paint tray.
Step 2

Prepare the roller

Saturate the paint roller with oil, and roll off any excess in the tray if necessary. This prevents the oil from dripping or penetrating too deeply.
Step 3

Apply the oil

Roll the oil onto the slats in an even layer – following the grain of the wood. Avoid getting oil on the edges or the back of the panel.
Step 4

Remove excess oil

Use a lint-free cloth to gently wipe off any excess oil from the surface, ensuring an even finish without shiny spots.
Step 5

Let the panel dry

Let the panel dry for 8–12 hours before mounting or using it.
