Acoustic Panel
Installation Instructions
Prepare the Surface:
1. Ensure that the wall or ceiling surface where the Akupanel will be installed is smooth, dry, and free of dust, dirt, or any debris. The surface should also be level to ensure that the panels are properly aligned.
2. If the surface is not smooth or has irregularities, we recommend sanding it down or applying a leveling compound to achieve a flat surface.
Measure and Plan the Layout:
1.Measure the area to determine how many panels are required for the space. Plan the panel arrangement and layout before starting the installation.
2.Mark the locations of the panels on the wall or ceiling with a pencil or chalk line to ensure even spacing. Consider the orientation of the panels (e.g., vertical or horizontal) depending on your design preference.
Cutting the Panels (if necessary):
1.Akupanel panels are made from natural wood or MDF, which can be cut using a circular saw or jigsaw. Always measure and mark the panels before cutting to ensure the pieces fit correctly.
2.Wear protective gloves, safety goggles, and a dust mask when cutting the panels to avoid injury and inhalation of dust.
Apply Adhesive:
1.Apply a strong adhesive, specifically designed for acoustic panel installation, to the back of each panel. For best results, use a notched trowel or apply the adhesive in a zigzag pattern to ensure even coverage.
2.Alternatively, for ceiling or larger installations, screws or nails can be used to secure the panels.
Install the Panels:
1.Press the panel firmly against the wall or ceiling where you have marked the positions. For wall installations, start from the bottom and work your way up, ensuring that each panel is level.
2.Align each panel carefully, and use a spirit level or laser level to ensure they are straight and evenly spaced.
3.For ceiling installations, a second person may be helpful to hold the panels in place while securing them.
Use Spacers (if necessary):
1.If required, use spacers to maintain a consistent gap between the panels for a uniform look and to allow for expansion and contraction of the material.
2.After installing the first row, continue with the remaining panels, ensuring each is properly aligned with the ones before it.
Finishing the Edges:
1.Once the panels are installed, cover any exposed edges with trim or moulding for a clean, professional finish. Depending on your aesthetic preference, you can use wood trim or metal strips for added style.
Allow for Curing:
1.If adhesive is used, allow the panels to set for at least 24 hours to ensure a secure bond with the surface. Ensure that the room is well-ventilated during the curing process to speed up drying time.
Maintenance Guide
Regular Cleaning:
1.Dust the panels regularly using a soft, dry cloth or microfiber duster to remove dust and dirt. For stubborn dirt, lightly vacuum the panels using a soft brush attachment or use a handheld vacuum with a low suction setting.
2.Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the wood or MDF finish.
Deep Cleaning:
1.For more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap or wood-safe cleaner. Gently wipe down the panels, being careful not to soak them. Excess moisture can damage the material, especially if it’s made of MDF or untreated wood.
2.For wood panels, use a wood polish or conditioner to maintain the wood’s natural shine and to prevent it from drying out over time.
Avoid Excessive Moisture:
1.While acoustic panels are designed for interior use, they should not be exposed to excessive moisture or humidity, as this can warp or damage the panels.
2.In areas with high humidity, consider using a dehumidifier to keep moisture levels low.
Avoid Direct Sunlight:
1.UV exposure can cause discoloration or fading over time. If the panels are installed in areas with direct sunlight, consider using curtains or blinds to protect the panels from prolonged sun exposure.
Prevent Physical Damage:
1.Avoid using sharp objects or heavy items that could cause scratches or dents in the surface of the panels. If the panels are located in high-traffic areas, consider placing protective mats or rugs in front of them to prevent accidental damage.
Repainting or Refinishing:
1.If the panels start to show wear or you wish to change their appearance, consider refinishing or repainting them. If the panels are painted, use a high-quality paint that is suitable for wood or MDF.
2.Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for repainting or refinishing to ensure optimal results.

SPC Flooring
Installation Instructions
Prepare the Subfloor:
1.Ensure the subfloor is dry, clean, level, and free from dust, debris, and moisture. Remove any old flooring if necessary.
2.For concrete subfloors, ensure there is no moisture buildup, and use a moisture barrier if required.
3.For wooden subfloors, make sure there is no movement, and they are level.
Acclimatize the Flooring:
1.Allow the SPC flooring planks to acclimate in the room where they will be installed for at least 24-48 hours before installation. The room temperature should be between 18°C and 25°C (64°F and 77°F).
2.Lay the planks flat and allow them to adjust to the ambient temperature to prevent expansion or contraction after installation.
Plan the Layout:
1.Before installing, measure the room and determine the layout. Start the installation from the center or left corner of the room, depending on the design preference.
2.Use spacers to maintain a gap of about 5-10 mm between the flooring and the walls to allow for expansion.
Install the First Row:
1.Begin by laying the first row of planks, making sure to stagger the seams for a natural appearance. Use the tongue-and-groove method or click-lock system for easy installation.
2.For planks with a click-lock system, simply insert the tongue into the groove at a slight angle and press down until the plank locks into place.
Continue Installation:
1.Continue installing the remaining planks row by row, ensuring the edges fit tightly together. Use a tapping block and a rubber mallet to gently tap the edges of the planks into place, making sure there are no gaps between them.
2.If necessary, use a pull bar to tighten the seams near the walls.
Cutting the Planks:
1.When you reach the final row or edges of the room, you may need to cut the planks to fit. Use a saw or a utility knife to cut the planks to the required size.
2.Always measure twice before cutting to ensure accuracy.
Install Transition Strips:
1.After all the planks are installed, cover any gaps along the edges of the room with transition strips or baseboards to give the floor a finished look.
Allow for Expansion:
1.After installation, allow the floor to set for 24-48 hours before heavy use to ensure that the planks have fully adjusted to the room’s temperature and humidity.
Maintenance Guide
Regular Cleaning:
1.Sweep or vacuum the SPC floor regularly to remove dust, dirt, and debris that could scratch the surface.
2.For more thorough cleaning, use a damp mop with warm water and a mild floor cleaner designed for vinyl flooring. Avoid using excessive water, as this can seep into the seams and cause damage.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals:
1.Do not use wax-based, oil-based, or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the floor’s surface and leave a residue.
2.Avoid using ammonia, bleach, or solvent-based cleaners as they can discolor or damage the coating of the floor.
Protect the Flooring:
1.Place doormats at entrances to prevent dirt, sand, or grit from being tracked onto the floor.
2.Use furniture pads or felt protectors on the legs of chairs and tables to prevent scratching.
Prevent Sun Damage:
1.While SPC flooring is UV-resistant, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the floor to fade. Use curtains or blinds to protect the flooring from extended sunlight.
Moisture Protection:
1.While SPC flooring is water-resistant, it is not waterproof. Wipe up any spills immediately to prevent moisture from getting into the seams.
2.Ensure that any areas prone to water (like bathrooms or kitchens) are properly ventilated.
Resealing (If Applicable):
1.In areas of high foot traffic or commercial spaces, you may need to reseal the flooring after several years of use to maintain its protective layer and shine. Consult the manufacturer for specific recommendations on sealing products.
FAQ
What is SPC flooring?
1.SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) flooring is a type of vinyl flooring that is known for its durability, water resistance, and ease of installation. It has a stone composite core, which makes it stronger and more rigid than traditional vinyl flooring.
