Material 01

Upholstered Wall Panels

Bracket-mounted click system. Each panel has a metal cleat at the back; the matching cleat mounts to the wall.

  1. Mark a level horizontal line at the top of your panel area
  2. Screw mounting cleats into wall studs every 40 cm
  3. Hook panels onto cleats from top to bottom
  4. Press firmly — panels click into place
  5. For trim cuts, use a sharp utility knife along the foam edge
Material 02

3D PVC Panels

Easiest material to install. Adhesive only, no drilling required.

  1. Apply construction adhesive in zigzag pattern on the back
  2. Press panel onto wall, hold 30 seconds
  3. Use a level to verify alignment
  4. Continue panel-by-panel, matching the 3D pattern
  5. Allow 24 hours curing before touching
Material 03

Wood Slat Panels

Pre-mounted on felt backing. Adhesive or screw-fixed.

  1. For drywall: construction adhesive + 2–3 finishing nails per panel
  2. For brick/concrete: drill, anchor, then screw through pre-drilled holes
  3. Stagger seams between rows for natural look
  4. Cut last panel to fit using a fine-tooth saw
Mistakes to avoid

Common pitfalls

  • Skipping the 24-hour acclimatisation period
  • Installing on damp or unprimed surfaces
  • Forgetting expansion gaps (5 mm at edges)
  • Using the wrong adhesive (always check our recommendations)
