What preparation is needed before sticking on the panels?

Three things are needed to prep your stick-on wall panels. First, clean your walls with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Next, you should lay your stick-on panels out on the floor in your desired pattern. Finally, confirm your measurements and cut and panels that are too long.

How do you measure for wall panels?

Measuring for your stick-on wood panels is simple. You only need the length and width of your wall. Our planks are 127mm and 1180mm long. Depending on the size of your wall, and your desired arrangement, you may have to cut your planks down to fit your space.

Are they real wood panels?

Yes! All of our products are sustainably sourced and crafted with real wood. Don’t let the adhesive strips and easy-install fool you – these stick-on wood wall panels are fabricated with meticulous attention to detail and meet the highest quality standards.

Do you need to use adhesive to fit these panels?

The stick-on wood wall sheets come with their own adhesive strips. You don’t need any extra supplies to stick them on – just tools for measuring and cutting.

Transform your interior space with Acupanel in five easy steps…

Best known for our extensive selection of beautiful wood veneers, The Wood Veneer Hub has recently decided to diversify its portfolio of products to include stunning wooden wall panelling.

Whilst the two products complement each other, both have very different uses! Whereas wood veneer is supplied in a smaller sheet format, to be used in the skilled art of marquetry, or as a new surface or to face and update an item of furniture, wood panelling is designed to transform entire walls and even ceilings.

When a stylish alternative to a painted wall is required, consider wooden panelling, and in particular, Acupanel. Suitable for use in a commercial or domestic installation, Acupanel offers the latest in on-trend wall panelling looks, with the added benefit of acoustic properties.

By following these five easy steps, you will be ready to transform your interior.

Choose your Acupanel finish

With five striking colourways to choose from, deciding on a finish is not always easy. Our warm, mid tones woods include ‘Walnut’, ‘Rustic Oak’ and ‘Bronze Oak’, or for a more intense, dark shade, consider ‘Rustic Grey Oak’ or ‘Smoked Oak’.

With the added benefit of a sampling service, you can see how the panelling looks in the interior, before you commit to a purchase.

Decide on the height

Whilst most people tend to choose to clad an entire wall or ceiling with wooden panels, this doesn’t have to be the case. Panelling to dado height may sound ‘old hat’ but it may actually suit your room style better!

Measuring up for Acupanel

Once you know the area that you intend to clad, you will need to measure the height and width. Unlike other wall panelling that requires the overall area to be calculated, each Acupanel is supplied in a fixed size of 2400 x 600mm, and is designed to be fitted vertically from floor to ceiling.

Calculating the quantity

If a wall measured 3.7m and its overall height was 2.3m, you would need to order seven lengths of Acupanel.

Preparing the walls

Wall cladding will disguise even the most uneven surfaces. Hairline cracks do not need any preparation or necessary filling. However, any loose plaster should always be removed, then filled with a suitable filler. Once dry, as long as the surface is fairly uniform, there’s no need to sand it back to a smooth plaster finish!

By following these five steps, you’re ready to install beautiful Acupanel wall panelling, and even in time for Christmas!
