Wall Paneling FAQ

We offer multiple types: PET acoustic panels (lightweight, sound-absorbing), PVC panels (moisture-resistant), peel-and-stick panels (DIY), solid wood slat panels (premium), and PVC film panels (laminate finish). Each type has different installation and care requirements.

• PET acoustic panels: glue or double-sided tape (lightweight)
• PVC panels: glue or nail to studs
• Solid wood slat panels: nails/screws into studs or brackets (heavier)
• Peel-and-stick panels: peel backing and press onto clean surface
• PVC film panels: glue recommended

Always check the specific product instructions.

Many panels are DIY-friendly. Peel-and-stick panels are easiest. PET and PVC panels can be installed with basic tools. Solid wood panels may require professional help due to weight and precision cutting needed.

• Drywall/plaster: works for most panel types
• Tile: panels can go over tile if surface is flat
• Concrete: use construction adhesive or mechanical fixings
• For peel-and-stick panels: must be smooth and primed

All panel types require a clean, dry, flat surface.

• PVC panels: YES — moisture-resistant, ideal for bathrooms
• PVC film panels: YES — moisture-resistant
• PET acoustic panels: NO — not recommended for high humidity
• Solid wood panels: NO — not suitable for damp areas
• Peel-and-stick panels: check individual product specs

• PET acoustic panels: YES — designed for sound absorption (NRC rated)
• Solid wood slat panels: SOME — depends on felt backing thickness
• PVC panels: MINIMAL — decorative only
• Peel-and-stick panels: MINIMAL

Check product description for acoustic properties.

• PET panels: meet ASTM E84 Class A fire rating
• Other panel types: fire ratings vary. Check individual product specifications.

• PET panels: utility knife or fine-tooth saw
• PVC panels: fine-tooth saw or circular saw
• Solid wood panels: circular saw, miter saw
• Peel-and-stick panels: utility knife

Always measure twice and cut from the back/felt side where applicable.

• PET panels: vacuum with brush attachment or wipe with dry cloth. Avoid moisture.
• PVC panels: wipe with damp cloth and mild detergent.
• Solid wood panels: use wood-friendly cleaner. Avoid excess water.
• Peel-and-stick panels: wipe with damp cloth.

Always avoid abrasive cleaners on all panel types.

Yes, if the existing surface is flat, clean, and structurally sound. For heavy solid wood panels, ensure the substrate can support the weight. Remove loose/damaged material first.

• PET/PVC panels: measuring tape, level, utility knife, adhesive or nail gun
• Solid wood panels: circular saw, drill, level, screws/nails, stud finder
• Peel-and-stick panels: measuring tape, level, utility knife

Safety gloves and goggles recommended for all types.

• Most panels come pre-finished. Painting may affect appearance and performance.
• PVC and PET panels: not recommended for painting.
• Solid wood panels: can be stained or painted if unfinished.

Contact us for pre-finished color options instead of painting.

Acoustic panels (PET, felt-backed wood slat) are designed to absorb sound and reduce echo. Decorative panels (PVC, peel-and-stick) focus on aesthetics with minimal acoustic benefit. Choose based on your priority: sound control or visual upgrade.

• Solid wood panels: YES — leave small expansion gap
• PVC panels: YES — allow for temperature-related movement
• PET panels: generally no gap needed
• Peel-and-stick panels: butt tightly together

Follow the specific product's installation instructions.

• PET/PVC panels: individual panels can be replaced. Remove old and install new.
• Solid wood panels: may need to replace the entire section.
• Peel-and-stick panels: heat and peel off, then replace.
