Step-by-Step Guide to Installing DBSorb Acoustic Panels

 

Step 1: Position the Stencil

Align the stencil to the desired surface where the panel will be installed. Secure it using staples, masking tape, or pins to ensure it lays flat. Precise stencil placement is critical for accurate panel fitting.

Step 2: Attach Male Ready-Clips™ to the Wall

1. Insert Male Ready-Clips™ into each hole in the stencil.

2. Secure them to the wall using screws, ensuring not to over-tighten.

3. Once all Male Ready-Clips™ are in place, remove the stencil.

Step 3: Install the Acoustic Panels

1. Align the acoustic panel with the Male Ready-Clips™ on the wall.

2. Ensure that the Female Ready-Clips™ (pre-installed on the panel) match up correctly.

3. Firmly push the panel into place until you hear a click, indicating that the clips are locked securely.

 

Customising Panels: How to Trim for a Perfect Fit

If your panels need adjustments for wall sockets, ledges, or other obstacles, follow these steps:

1. Use any straight edge object you have on hand, such as a piece of timber, long metal ruler, or track runner, to lightly score the panel.

2. Make 2-3 passes with a sharp craft knife to cut through cleanly.

3. Ensure you have a protective surface underneath while cutting.

4. Snap off the craft knife blade after each panel to maintain precision.
