How Do You Stick Acoustic Panels to the Wall?

A Practical Guide by Liyin Acoustics

When it comes to improving the acoustic comfort and aesthetics of a space, acoustic wall panels are one of the most effective solutions. Whether you're outfitting a modern office, a home theater, or a commercial venue, knowing how to stick acoustic panels to the wall properly is key to achieving both sound control and visual appeal.

At Guangdong Liyin Acoustics Technology Co., Ltd. (Leeyin, we specialize in wood slat acoustic panels with PET felt backing. As a leading manufacturer and exporter in China, we ensure high-performance, installation-friendly acoustic products trusted by clients worldwide.


βœ… What You’ll Need Before Installation

Before you begin, gather the following tools and materials:

  • High-strength construction adhesive (solvent-free recommended)

  • Level and measuring tape

  • Pencil or chalk for marking

  • Caulking gun (for adhesive)

  • Double-sided tape (optional for temporary positioning)

  • Screws and wall plugs (optional for extra support)


πŸ”§ Step-by-Step: How to Stick Acoustic Panels to the Wall

1. Prepare the Wall Surface

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and flat. Remove any dust, oil, or loose paint. A smooth surface ensures better adhesive bonding.

2. Mark the Panel Placement

Use a level and pencil to mark the panel positions on the wall. This helps with alignment and ensures consistent spacing.

3. Apply Adhesive to the Back of the Panel

Turn your wood slat acoustic panel over and apply strong construction adhesive in a zigzag pattern across the PET felt backing. For larger panels, apply adhesive in horizontal lines spaced about 10–15 cm apart.

πŸ’‘ Tip from Liyin: Our PET-backed acoustic panels are designed for strong adhesion. The felt’s texture allows the glue to grip firmly and hold over time.

4. Press Panel Firmly Against the Wall

Carefully align the panel with your markings and press it into place. Apply even pressure across the entire surface to ensure contact between the adhesive and the wall.

5. Use Screws or Mounting Strips for Extra Security (Optional)

In high-traffic areas or for added durability, you can use screws through the slats into the wall studs. Our panels are engineered to accept both adhesive and mechanical fasteners without damage.


πŸ”© Can Acoustic Panels Be Removed Easily?

Yes. If you use adhesive, removing panels may damage the paint or drywall. However, double-sided mounting tape or removable adhesive solutions can make future repositioning easier.

For B2B projects like offices or hotels, a permanent adhesive bond ensures long-lasting acoustic performance and visual consistency.

How to Hide Wires Behind Acoustic Panels?

How to Hide Wires Behind Acoustic Panels: A Clean and Professional Finish

In today’s design-forward environments—whether residential, commercial, or hospitality spaces—clean aesthetics matter. While acoustic wall panels are primarily used for sound absorption and interior elegance, they can also serve a dual function: concealing electrical wires and cables for a neat, polished look.

At Guangdong Liyin Acoustics Technology Co., Ltd., (Leeyin)  we specialize in manufacturing high-quality wood slat acoustic panels with PET felt backing. As a leading exporter in China, we not only understand acoustic performance—but also how design practicality, like cable management, plays a key role in modern interiors.


Why Hide Wires Behind Acoustic Panels?

Visible wires from TVs, speakers, LED lighting, or office equipment can ruin an otherwise flawless wall design. Hiding wires behind acoustic panels:

  • Maintains a clean, minimalist aesthetic

  • Prevents tangling and potential hazards

  • Enhances the professional look of commercial and B2B environments


Step-by-Step Guide: How to Hide Wires Behind Acoustic Panels

1. Plan the Layout in Advance

Before installing your panels, identify all the devices that require wiring—TVs, wall-mounted lights, sound systems, etc. Create a cable route map along the wall surface.

2. Use Cable Conduits or Channels

Mount plastic or metal wire conduits along the cable path on the wall. This protects the cables and ensures they don’t come into direct contact with the back of the panels.

3. Choose Panels with PET Felt Backing

Liyin’s wood slat acoustic panels feature a PET felt backing that’s flexible and easy to work with, allowing small gaps between the panel and wall for cable routing without visible bulging or misalignment.

4. Cut Channels in the Felt or Slat (If Needed)

For thicker cables or specific outlets, you may carefully cut small channels in the PET backing or slats to accommodate wire passage. Always use proper tools and maintain panel integrity.

5. Secure the Wires Behind the Panel

Once the wiring is in place:

  • Fix the cables with zip ties or adhesive clips behind the mounting battens or wall structure.

  • Mount the acoustic panels over the cables, making sure they sit flush with the wall.

6. Access Points and Maintenance

If future access is needed, you can leave removable panel sections or design hidden openings behind larger electronics or furniture.

βœ… Can Acupanel Be Glued?

Yes, Acupanel can be glued directly to a wall, making it an excellent option for those who want a fast and tool-free installation. High-strength construction adhesive is commonly used to attach the panels securely to drywall, concrete, or wooden surfaces.

However, it’s important to use the correct type of adhesive and ensure that the wall is clean, flat, and dry before applying the glue.


πŸ”§ Benefits of Gluing Acupanel to a Wall

  1. Quick Installation
    Gluing the panel eliminates the need for screws, nails, or complex tools. Ideal for DIY projects or time-sensitive installations.

  2. Seamless Finish
    Without visible fasteners, glued panels offer a sleek, minimalist aesthetic.

  3. Preserves Wall Integrity
    No drilling means your wall stays free of holes—perfect for rental properties or finished surfaces.

  4. Ideal for Light to Medium Applications
    Especially suitable for feature walls, home offices, or bedroom headboards.


⚠️ Important Considerations When Gluing Acupanel

  • Use a high-quality construction adhesive, such as solvent-free grab adhesives or polyurethane-based glues.

  • Press firmly for full contact between the back of the panel and the wall.

  • Temporary support may be needed while the adhesive cures (usually 24 hours).

  • Not suitable for uneven or rough walls—surface preparation is key.
