Quality job! 👍 I'm just about to install some oak panels for a cinema wall, thanks for the tips. for the socket cut outs i'm using 25mm appleby extension boxes with the outside painted black and then refit the sockets flush. Or the plugs won't fit properly and will be fiddly squeezing the cable behind the slat. You just need to make sure the extensions are level with the slats so they don't pull them in when tightening the socket screws.
Hiya Craig my panels I’m gonna be doing are also going onto plasterboard with brick behind but I have to baton my wall out as above the picture rail sticks out further. Do you think I would be able to screw the batons into the plasterboard with plasterboard screws then screw the panels onto the batons 🤔
For TVs you can either install them over the top, depending on how long and heavy your screws are, or cut a space in the panels and install it in the space, cheers
I have a wall unit to attach to the wall, would you recommend attaching to wall 1st then cut the panelling around it? Or can you fit the panelling 1st and attach the unit after over the top of panelling? Thanks
Yes you can cut around it very easily, we've done loads of cuts with these acoustic wall panel boards, they're very easy to cut and mould around your needs!
I feel like that whole bit about starting from the middle to ga s even gaps on each side is somewhat falls flat when you see the final result and there is a huge black gap on the left hand side
That's down to the left hand side wall isn't level, if you look closer to the bottom with cuts land with the same size gap, then we had to widen out cit toward the top to cater for the wall being out unfortunately! hopefully peoples walls on there home won't be put like one of ours. But well stopped
No. These just help with dampening echos makingthe sound in the room a bit more controlled and less cavernous. I doubt much for sound proofing. Sound proofing requires building and insulating walls
if you are cutting the felt you can do it with a trimming knife, if you need just another length of wood, you can pull them off with pliers because they have been stapled on, and if you need to modify the wood you can use a normal jigsaw. Cheers
@@MrandMrsDIY Hi, I believe that the cut of the panel should always be placed underneath so that it is not noticed, or is noticed less, as you put it at the top it is easier to notice, in my opinion.
Yes cuts best at the bottom as it can be hidden with silicon, however you may. not be able to afford to keep using new pieces and waisting the other half so you have to use both pieces @@giovannilabriola9821
These are not acoustic panels. I see them marketed on social media all the time as acoustic panels they are not. Most companies marketing these as acoustic panels show the acoustic tests with these placed against 4 inches of rockwool and the rockwool is whats doing the acoustic absorption not these panels. These panels are just purely decorative, and should only be used for decorative purposes
@@MrandMrsDIY these are acoustic panels in name only. It's what I had my little rant about. If you try looking up these panels, you will find there is no performance information at all. They provide no information on the frequencies they attenuate or the frequencies they damp. They are not acoustic panels and should not be used to tune a room they are purely decorative.
Congratulations! These video is just perfect for someone trying to learn to DYU these panels. Thank you!
Thanks mate!
Thank you! Been watching quite some videos on this topic and yours is by far the best I’ve seen.
Thank you that's great to hear! Glad you like our video!
Cheers Craig, great explanation and easy to follow. Perfect
Many thanks glad it helped
or hope it helped
This was super helpful when you installing mine at my house thanks for the great video!
Great stuff! Put some photos on our DIY forum on Facebook to show off!
Quality job! 👍

Surely you men plumb for upwards vertical level is ground level horizontal
Thats about right
I’m planning to install a similar panel and was wandering if to install the TV over the panel or cutting out around the tv?
For TVs you can either install them over the top, depending on how long and heavy your screws are, or cut a space in the panels and install it in the space, cheers
Reading your spirit level vertical is PLUMB. Reading it horizontal is LEVEL
Thanks
What is that uneven black gap on the left side of the wall @ 13:36?
Our plaster board had run out on one side and the panels are fitted perfectly lever so we took a slat off and cut the black felt to suit
@@MrandMrsDIY But its uneven and really contrasts with the white wall. I would rather leave a white plaster gap there - would be less noticeable
@@hagani18 Dealer's choice!
@@hagani18 That's right you could do
I have a wall unit to attach to the wall, would you recommend attaching to wall 1st then cut the panelling around it? Or can you fit the panelling 1st and attach the unit after over the top of panelling? Thanks

Sorry, i thought you said at the end "and thats how easy it is to fit" hahaha - ill get a tradey in i think 😂
Hahahaha! It's really not too hard! Try on a small area before you get a tradey in! Remember to measure twice and cut once!
What colour is that ? Just ordered samples x
R great this was the Jupiter

What's the best way to measure up around sockets it would have been nice to see how to measure around the sockets
Starts at 5:00!
Though it did,
With a tape.
would you be able to show us how to hide tv cords etc with these panels pleaae? ❤❤❤❤❤
Yes sure, we can add it to our video project list
You have installed it on a brick wall or gyp board?
GYP board that has been skimmed with plaster and has a Brick wall behind it, cheers
I would definitely fill it in at the bottom rather than the top, it will stand out less.
Yes that is an option depending on how you want the look and feel of your room to be, especially if you have furnishings that will go in front of it
Yep
Would this completely take out sound from escaping the room?
It has a lot of acoustic properties so it certainly helps
No. These just help with dampening echos makingthe sound in the room a bit more controlled and less cavernous. I doubt much for sound proofing. Sound proofing requires building and insulating walls
@@joshkorody7376 We agree, it won't completely silence sound but it will certainly help dampen it which is what most people are after
How to cut extra length :?
if you are cutting the felt you can do it with a trimming knife, if you need just another length of wood, you can pull them off with pliers because they have been stapled on, and if you need to modify the wood you can use a normal jigsaw. Cheers
Probably couldn't get em down in the summer of 76🥵🥵🥵
Hahaha, yes installing them was great!
Ha ha
il taglio del pannello va posizionato sempre sotto. va messo sempre sotto
apologies I can only Speak English I'm sorry.

15 screws. Just tec 7 them on
The screws are just to be put in just in case the adhesive isn't bonding to the wall, it's a bit of overkill but it works great!
You dont need to be a qualified electrician to remove or change a socket if you know what you’re doing
Safety first!

Apart from not being acoustic panels are really good video on how to install these decorative panels. Thank you
Didn't mean to sound so negative
@@Keithmonnelly Thanks Keith, they describe them as acoustic panels on their website, cheers

Point taken @@Keithmonnelly
Glad you like the video of the install @@Keithmonnelly
Plumb not level 🤦
If you know you know!
Rubbish
Nice one
