Acoustic Panel Black Screws 100

Learn how to install FibroTech Acoustic Panels. Acoustic panels from FibroTech can be installed on both walls and ceilings – horizontally or vertically, it’s entirely up to you. They can be secured with either screws or adhesive – or both. INSTALLATIONBefore you start installing your acoustic panels, there are a few things to be aware of. Firstly, always store them indoors. It’s essential for the panels to ventilate, allowing air to circulate to prevent moisture absorption. As a significant portion of the material in the panels is wood, they may emit a slight wood odor when brought into your home, like the scent of a new wooden floor. Therefore, it’s recommended to acclimatize the panels well before installation. Place them in the garage or shed for a couple of days, and afterward, the scent will diminish. Assembly with screwsIf you wish to secure your acoustic panels with screws, you will need 15-18 black screws per panel. When framing, the distance should be 60 mm. You screw the screws into the black polyester backing. This way, you won’t see them since the black screws are hidden against the black polyester. Always remember to ensure that the panels are level and perpendicular. Assembly with adhesiveIf you prefer to avoid screws, you also have the option to glue the acoustic panels using FibroTech’s mounting adhesive. In this case, the panels should be spot-glued on the back. This means applying several small amounts of adhesive around the polyester backing. The adhesive adheres with good strength immediately and becomes stronger as it cures. You can use the mounting adhesive on surfaces such as plaster walls, plaster ceilings, brick walls, plastered walls, and more. Ensure that the surface is always dry and clean before applying the adhesive. Also, make sure that the panels are level and perpendicular. If the dimensions of the acoustic panel do not suit your specific purpose, they can easily be adjusted and cut from the back using a fine-toothed saw blade. The panel can be cut crosswise or lengthwise.  The polyester backing can be cut using a box cutter.  If the backing become detached from the rods, reattach it using staples.
