Materials and Tools You’ll Need
- PANELUX wood slat panels

- Level
- Stud finder
- Screws and wall anchors
- Drill
- Saw (if custom cuts are needed)
- Pencil
- Safety gear (gloves, goggles)
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Step 1: Prepare Your Wall Start by preparing the wall where you’ll install the panels. Use a stud finder to locate the studs in the wall. Mark these spots with a pencil, as they will provide the necessary support for your panels.
Step 2: Measure and Plan Measure the area where you plan to install the panels. This will help you determine the number of panels required and if any custom cuts are needed. Layout the panels on the floor to visualize the pattern and ensure a seamless look.
Step 3: Cut Panels to Size If your wall requires custom cuts, use a saw to trim the panels to the appropriate size. Always wear safety gear while cutting to protect yourself from any debris.
Step 4: Install the Panels Start from one corner of the wall and begin attaching the panels. Use a level to ensure each panel is perfectly straight. Secure the panels to the wall using screws and wall anchors, especially at the points where you marked the studs. This ensures the panels are firmly attached.
Step 5: Finishing Touches Once all panels are installed, check for any gaps or uneven sections. Make any necessary adjustments to ensure a smooth, professional finish. Clean up any dust or debris from the installation process.
Step 6: Enjoy Your New Space Step back and admire your work! You’ve successfully transformed your space with the modern, acoustic elegance of PANELUX™ wood slat panels.
Tips for a Successful Installation
- Take Your Time: Rushing can lead to mistakes. Ensure each panel is level and securely attached.
- Safety First: Always use safety gear when handling tools and cutting panels.
