TOOLSANDSUPPLIES
• A spirit level or a laser level
• A pen, preferably a pencil
• A circular saw, in case there's a need to cut the panels
• If you're using a circular saw or other loud tools, you'll also need hearing
protection.
• If you intend to install the panels by gluing them in place, you'll also need a
glue clamp and some glue. We recommend using glues such as Fintex Tet-
rakem 1022 Acoustics and Installation Glue, or Fintex Tetrakem 1050 Fire
Safe Glue.
• If you intend to install the panels in place using screws, you'll need 12 screws
with a conical head per each panel (such as gypsum screws). The screws
should be at least 30 mm long.
• A battery-operated drill or a screwdriver, and a drill bit that fits the screws.

1. Please note: The wall or other mounting surface should be even and cleaned

panels onto the ceiling using glue.
2.Position the panel so that the surface being glued to the wall is exposed
3.Squeeze out small puddles of glue into the spots that should grip onto the
mounting surface
4.Set the panel in place and press it against the surface carefully
INSTALLINGAPANEL
Acuwood panels can be installed both horizontally and vertically.
1. Use a spirit level or a laser level to ensure you'll be installing your panels at
precisely the correct alignment.
2.Install the panel by using screws in between the panels' tongue-and-groove
joints so that the screws grip well into the surface they're screwed into, such
as its supporting structures.
3.Please payattentionofthedifferentlengths ofthe tongue-and-groovejoints
on the panel's sides. The first panel should be installed in place so that the
side with the tongue extending slightly past the back board forms the side of
the installation. The next panel should then be installed on the side of the
panel where the back board extends further. Please see "Panel spacing"
4.You can also use hooks and eyelets to install the panels in place. The instal-
lationprocesswillfollowthesesameinstructionsthen. Werecommendusing
hooks that are 30 mm in length and 16 mm in width at minimum.
5.Use a spirit level or a laser level to ensure you'll be installing your panels at
precisely the correct alignment
6.Support the panel for as long as the glue is drying.
7. If you're gluing multiple panels in place, please see "Panel spacing"
