What preparation is needed before sticking on the panels?

Three things are needed to prep your stick-on wall panels. First, clean your walls with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Next, you should lay your stick-on panels out on the floor in your desired pattern. Finally, confirm your measurements and cut and panels that are too long.

How do you measure for wall panels?

Measuring for your stick-on wood panels is simple. You only need the length and width of your wall. Our planks are 127mm and 1180mm long. Depending on the size of your wall, and your desired arrangement, you may have to cut your planks down to fit your space.

Are they real wood panels?

Yes! All of our products are sustainably sourced and crafted with real wood. Don’t let the adhesive strips and easy-install fool you – these stick-on wood wall panels are fabricated with meticulous attention to detail and meet the highest quality standards.

Do you need to use adhesive to fit these panels?

The stick-on wood wall sheets come with their own adhesive strips. You don’t need any extra supplies to stick them on – just tools for measuring and cutting.

Installation & Downloads

The Acupanel® range has been designed to be installed with ease. We recommend either screwing the panels straight into the wall, using the correct fixings, through the acoustic felt or if you are looking to increase the sound properties further, screwing them into batons. If installing on ceilings, the panels can be screwed straight into ceiling joists.

When cutting your panels, it's important to check where you are cutting in relation to the backing staples. If you cut the panels close to the staples, you may notice some slats lifting away from the backing where the panel has been cut. This is completely normal and is quickly rectified by adding additional staples through the backing felt or using a grab adhesive on the back of the slats.

For further guidance, please refer to our technical datasheet below.

Acupanel® Fire-Rated Panel FAQ

How do the panels arrive?

The Acupanel® wall panels are shipped in boxes - if more than one panel is ordered, we pack two panels to a box. For bulk fire-rated panel orders, they may be delivered on pallets or on our dedicated van service. If you have any specific packaging requirements for your fire-rated panels, please contact our sales team to place your order.

Do the panels come in larger sizes?

Our fire-rated panels are available exclusively in 248cm x 60cm and 300cm x 60cm panel sizes.

How do I install the panels?

Our fire-rated panels must be installed following our installation guide in our technical sheet. Not following the installation instructions can invalidate the fire-rating and acoustic rating of your panel. You can find the technical sheet with full installation instructions here.

Do you produce custom panel sizes?

We do not currently offer the fire-rated panels in custom sizes; however, we have designed them to be easily cut if you need smaller. They also join together seamlessly if you need to cover a larger area.

Do you offer other colours?

We offer six different wood finishes in the Acupanel^®Fire-Rated collection, including oak, walnut, smoked oak and pine. We can produce one-off custom colours - if you have a specific panel colour in mind, please contact our sales team who can assist you further.

Can the panels be used in a bathroom or kitchen?

The panels will be absolutely fine in these areas, as long as they are not in direct contact with water. An additional water-resistant finish is recommended for fitting in high humidity or high moisture areas, however, please contact our sales team prior to applying an additional finish to your fire-rated panels to ensure you do not invalidate the fire-rating.

Can the acoustic fire-rated panels be used outside?

The Acupanel® Fire-Rated Acoustic range is designed for interior use only.

What do I do if I have plug sockets, windows or other items to install around?

It is straightforward to adjust the panels to fit around any object. You can cut the slats widthways with a saw, and you can cut the felt lengthways with a sharp blade to then apply around any item you may have on your surface.

On which surfaces can I install the panels?

You can mount the panels on all surfaces including brick, concrete and plasterboard. For our fire-rated panels, a fire-rated substrate is required for installation. For further installation on suitable substrates, please speak to our sales team, or review our fire-rated panel technical sheet.

Do the colours of the pictures look like the panels in real life?

The wood used is always from the same source so they will always look more or less the same. It is natural wood, however, so knots, slight cracks and colour variations can occur. Get in touch if you would like us to send you pictures of the exact batch you could potentially receive.

How can I hide the edges of the fire-rated panel?

The panels have been designed to have the edge exposed, with the layered plywood always visible along the side of the slats. When cutting through the slats, you will see the layers of plywood used. The Luxe fire-rated panels are not a wrapped finish, and the plywood will be visible on the side of the slats.

Can I hide wires behind the panels?

You certainly can! When installing the fire-rated panels on battens, we recommend drilling holes into the battens as required, to feed any wires through that run along the back of the panel.

Can I apply anything behind the panels to increase sound insulation?

Yes, you can! To achieve the full b s1,d0 fire-rating and class A sound absorption, an acoustic-rated insulation must be used as part of the install.

Why should I opt for a finished panel?

It is always advised to finish natural wood to protect it and, more importantly, to make it look even better than it already does by enhancing the wood grain. Our fire-rated panels come pre-finished with a fire-rated treatment, so you can install the panels straight away.

Please be aware that this is a fire-rated finish, and does not offer protection against water, high humidity, or UV light. If the panels will be exposed to any of these elements, we recommend using a finish that protects against it, but please speak to our sales team prior to adding any additional finishes, to avoid invalidating the fire-rated finish of the panels.

Do I need a fully fire-rated panel?

In some instances, fire-rated panels are requested as they are specified for a project. This might be because they will be on a fire escape route, or in a government building, where materials used need to meet certain standards. A fully-fire rated panel is more commonly found in commercial spaces, but it doesn't mean you can't find them in your home. If you want extra security and peace of mind in case of a fire, you may choose to opt for our fully fire-rated panel, that contribute little to no smoke if they ignite.

If you would like to learn more about our fire-rated panels, and why we at WVH^® pride ourselves on our fire-rated panel offering, please speak to our customer care team today.
