Step 1

Tips

Step 2To begin, prepare the wall. Clean it thoroughly and remove

anything that might get in the way, such as screws or nails.

Determine the size of the wall by measuring its dimensions.

Using screws secure Arbor to the wall, making sure to drill through

the acoustic felt backer and not the wood veneer. Place each screw

every 16” to 24”.

• Measure multiple points on the wall with a level, accounting

for irregularities.

• Using decorative framing, such as molding, can help offset

irregular or an uneven wall surface.

• Arbor looks best when installed with no gaps between ends

or rows.

• Screws or nails should always be placed through acoustic

felt backer.

Cutting

Arbor

Repeat step two, making sure that each Arbor panel is oriented the

same way vertically; i.e. if the acoustic felt backer is on the left then

each panel following should have acoustic felt backer on the left.

Arbor will often need to be cut to t a chosen wall/space. Here is a

list of best practices when cutting Arbor:

• Use a Box Cutter to cut through the acoustic felt backer and a

Circular Saw when cutting through the wood veneer.

• To prevent the wood veneer from splintering use Masking Tape.

• Reattach wooden slats to the acoustic felt backer backing with

0.5” Screws from the back of the panel after making cuts.
