24 hours in the room before mounting.
Step 03
Prep Wall
Clean, dust-free, level. Remove loose paint.
Step 04

Adhesive or bracket — depending on material.
Tools
What you'll need
· Spirit level
· Measuring tape
· Pencil & masking tape
· Construction adhesive
· Drill, screws, anchors
· Sharp utility knife
· Caulking gun
· Fine-tooth saw
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.
- Mark a level horizontal line at the top of your panel area
- Screw mounting cleats into wall studs every 40 cm
- Hook panels onto cleats from top to bottom
- Press firmly — panels click into place
- 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.
- Apply construction adhesive in zigzag pattern on the back
- Press panel onto wall, hold 30 seconds
- Use a level to verify alignment
- Continue panel-by-panel, matching the 3D pattern
- Allow 24 hours curing before touching
Material 03
Wood Slat Panels
Pre-mounted on felt backing. Adhesive or screw-fixed.
- For drywall: construction adhesive + 2–3 finishing nails per panel
- For brick/concrete: drill, anchor, then screw through pre-drilled holes
- Stagger seams between rows for natural look
- 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)
