Installation of acoustic panels

Installing acoustic panels – how to get it right

Konto acoustic panels are easy to install in a variety of ways, depending on the wall surface, space, and desired end result. Below are clear instructions for the most common installation methods.

Attaching with adhesive

Gluing is the most common and reliable way to install Konto acoustic panels. The adhesive is applied either with a 3–4 mm adhesive comb or a tube of adhesive (330 ml).

The amount of adhesive required depends on the size of the panel, the installation surface, and the material, but on average, consumption is as follows:

Adhesive consumption:

on average 0.3–0.7 liters/m², depending on the size of the panel and the wall surface.
Gluing is suitable for most flat surfaces and ensures a tight and long-lasting bond.

Fastening with tape

Double-sided construction tape can work for small and light installations, but we cannot guarantee its adhesion on all surfaces. Tape is not recommended for ceiling installations.

Common problems and solutions:

  • Porous surface of the panel: the tape does not adhere properly.
    Solution: first attach the tape to the back of the panel, for example with hot glue.
  • Fresh or greasy wall surface: the tape does not adhere and the board may come loose.
    Solution: allow the paint to dry sufficiently, clean the surface, or choose another method of attachment.

Fastening with nails

Nail fastening

Nail fastening works on wall surfaces that can be nailed. The small plastic part at the tip of the thin, unsupported nail leaves a small air gap between the board and the wall, which improves acoustic damping.

Fastening with a J-strip (picture rail)

The aluminum J-strip is a neat and easy way to install the panel on the wall. We attach the strip to the back of the panel in advance, allowing the panel to be lifted with two nails or screws.
Only suitable for wall installations.

Fastening with wire or chain + hook pair (hanging elements)

The following are available for ceiling-mounted or suspended acoustic elements:

  • fastening wire set
  • chain + hook

These allow the element to be safely suspended from the ceiling at the desired height.
Only suitable for hanging elements, not for wall mounting.
