3. Safety Information
Please read all instructions carefully before installation. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses and gloves when handling tools and materials. Ensure the installation area is clear of obstructions and electrical wiring. If unsure about any step, consult a qualified professional.
- Verify wall integrity before installation.
- Use appropriate fasteners for your wall type.
- Keep panels away from excessive moisture or direct heat sources.
- Ensure proper ventilation during and after installation if using adhesives.
4. Setup and Installation
The ROOMTEC Acoustic Solid Wood Wall Panels are designed for straightforward installation. You can secure them using either adhesive or screws. For optimal soundproofing, attaching panels to horizontal 2" wooden rods embedded in the wall is recommended, rather than directly to the wall itself.
Required Tools (Not Included):
- Measuring tape
- Level
- Pencil/Marker
- Saw (if cutting panels to size)
- Adhesive (construction adhesive recommended) OR Screws and Drill
- Hammer (if using nails/screws)
Installation Steps:
- Measure and Plan: Determine the desired installation position and measure the area where the panels will be placed.
- Cut to Size (if necessary): If panels need to be shorter, carefully cut them to fit using a suitable saw.
- Apply Adhesive (Optional): If using adhesive, apply it to the back of the panel.
- Secure Panels:
- Adhesive Method: Press the panel firmly onto the wall in the desired position. Hold for a few moments to allow initial adhesion.
- Screw Method: Secure the panels to the wall using screws. For maximum soundproofing, attach to horizontal wooden rods embedded in the wall. Ensure screws are countersunk for a flush finish.
- Align and Repeat: Align subsequent panels carefully, ensuring the 0.52" gap is maintained for a consistent look. Repeat the securing process until all panels are installed.

5. Operating Principles
The ROOMTEC Acoustic Solid Wood Wall Panels function by absorbing sound waves, thereby reducing echo and improving the overall acoustic environment of a room. The unique sound-absorbing felt backing plays a crucial role in this process.

6. Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and performance of your ROOMTEC Acoustic Solid Wood Wall Panels, follow these simple guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the wood slats with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Protection: Protect panels from direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes to prevent warping or fading.
- Damage: If a slat becomes scratched or damaged, minor touch-ups can be done with wood stain or paint matching the panel color.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your wall panels.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Panels not adhering properly. | Insufficient adhesive, improper surface preparation, or unsuitable adhesive type. | Ensure wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Use a high-quality construction adhesive and apply generously. For heavy-duty applications, consider using screws in addition to adhesive. |
| Visible gaps between panels after installation. | Panels not aligned correctly during installation. | Carefully align panels during installation, ensuring consistent spacing. Use a level to verify straightness. |
| Sound dampening not as effective as expected. | Insufficient coverage, improper installation method (e.g., not using wooden rods for maximum effect). | Consider adding more panels to cover a larger surface area. For optimal soundproofing, ensure panels are installed on horizontal 2" wooden rods embedded in the wall. |
| Scratches or dents on wood slats. | Accidental impact or rough handling. | For minor scratches, use a wood repair kit or matching wood stain/paint. For deeper dents, professional repair may be required. |
