Whenever moving panels, transport them with the shortest dimension in the vertical position to reduce potential stress or breaking of the fiberglass. Do not move panels parallel to the floor without additional support. 2. If light colored fabrics are used, it may be a good idea to wear white cotton gloves so dirt, grease or grime from the skin is not transferred to the fabric. 3. Lay out panels with a laser level (preferred), hand level or chalk line to ensure uniform installation. If panels are being placed directly up against one another, use the first panel as a reference point for adjoining panels to be installed. 4. Make sure the wall has a completely flat surface to install the panels to. Shim the panels if necessary to create a uniform front surface. Installation using Impaling Clips 1. Mark the intended location of each panel on the wall. 2. Fasten impaling clips to the wall using drywall screws, concrete anchors or shots and pins for concrete block or pre-cast concrete walls using the guide below. Place the impaling clips 4” from the intended edge location and spread them evenly across the panel. (see Figure 1.2) Panel Size (1” or 2” thick) Number of Clips 2’x4’ 4 4’x4’ 4 NOTE: Panels over 2” thick must also use 4’x6’ 6 adhesives for installation. 4’x8’ 6 4’x10’ 8 3. Start the panel 3/4” higher than the intended wall location and press downward at a 45° angle toward the wall. (see Figure 1.1) 4. Shim the clips as necessary to ensure the front edge of the panel is flush with adjoining panels. 5. Do not apply excessive pressure to a single or multiple small locations on the panel so as to crush or dent the fiberglass core. 6. This installation method will leave a 3/4” reveal between the top of the panel and the ceiling. Note on adhesives: • The use of adhesives is highly suggested on all panel thicknesses for a secure permanent installation, though it is only mandatory for panels thicker than 2” or if they are being attached to the ceiling. • Use ONLY water-based, heavy bodied adhesives, such as Auralex’s Tubetak Pro. • Apply the adhesive liberally to the fiberglass and to the teeth of the impaling clip, but do not apply any adhesive within 3” from the edge of the panel.

Make sure the wall has a completely flat surface to install the panels to. Shim the panels if necessary to create a uniform front surface. Installation using Adhesive 1. Make sure the wall is primed or painted with no dust or dirt and that the surface is flat with no protruding elements. 2. Mark the intended location of each panel on the wall. 3. With a putty knife, apply a thin coating of Tubetak Pro liquid adhesive in 4”x4” squares to the back of the panel on 18” centers to prime the substrate. Do not place any adhesive closer than 3” from the edge of the panel. (See figure 2.2) 4. Reapply adhesive onto primed areas in egg sized dabs. 5. Position the panel at marked installation location and press against the wall to flatten and spread out the adhesive. 6. Do not apply excessive pressure to a single or multiple small locations on the panel so as to crush or dent the fiberglass core. 7. Remove the panel and press against the wall for a second time making sure it is in its final position. 8. Block panel for 24-48 hours while adhesive sets or secure panel with finish nails. (see figure 2.1) Note on adhesives: • The use of adhesives is highly suggested on all panel thicknesses to ensure a secure installation, though it is only mandatory for panels thicker than 2” or if they are being attached to the ceiling. • Use ONLY water-based, heavy bodied adhesives, such as Auralex’s Tubetak Pro. • Use one tube of Tubetak Pro liquid adhesive for every 32 sq. ft. of 1” panels and every 16 sq. ft. of 2” panels.
