Glue up acoustic panel

[Soolid1992]

Hello,

I am planning to put up 2 oak acoustic panels in the hallway of the apartment. The wall is made of concrete, so when I bought the panels, I was told that the easiest way was to glue them to the wall. Does anyone have tips/experience with this? Do they need to be screwed as well? The panels weigh quite a bit, but it would be a lot of work if I were to pre-drill and use plugs in the concrete.

Thanks in advance

I probably should have glued. Use a good construction adhesive.

Hi, I'm in about the same situation. How did you do it? and did it turn out well?

Hello,

I glued them up. I bought superfix glue at a hardware store, you can surely ask which is the strongest and they'll help you. Then I used a caulking gun to apply it over the back of the panel, pressed it against the wall, and applied pressure for about 20 minutes. The panel is still there today

Hello
Where have you bought these panels, on the hunt for similar ones

Hi,
I'm also going to install acoustic panels on a concrete wall with glue, but I'm afraid it won't hold. I'm wondering how you maintained the pressure against the wall?

Hi,
I am also going to mount acoustic panels against a concrete wall with glue but I'm afraid it won't hold. I'm wondering how you managed to keep the pressure against the wall?

We were two people, which made it easier. But we glued the back of the panels, then when we lifted it against the wall, you have a little time to adjust the placement. Then we just applied pressure against the wall by leaning against it. The glue sets very quickly, and after 10 minutes it holds like a rock.

Thanks so much! I've started with the first panel now, let's see how it goes ☺️
I'm planning to wait a couple of hours before placing the next one (a total of 6 panels) to let the glue dry while it is being pressed. I'm on my own, so I've had to come up with my own solution (see the picture) 🤣

Hi
I wonder if anyone has tried taking down a glued acoustic panel? How do you do it? Does it damage the material on the wall? I want to put up panels but want to know how to restore it if it becomes necessary. I would really appreciate it if someone could give me tips!

Hello
I'm wondering if anyone has tried to remove a glued acoustic panel? How do you do it? Does it damage the material on the wall then? I want to put up panels but want to know how to restore it if it becomes necessary. I would be really grateful if someone could give me tips!

The whole purpose of glue is to make two surfaces adhere to each other. If the glue does its job properly, then damage can occur when trying to separate the surfaces. This is also the case this time.

Depending on the substrate, choice of glue, the amount of force, and choice of tools during dismantling, the damage can vary. Some form of restoration work should be expected, in the worst-case relatively extensive. It's much easier to remove and causes less damage if you screw or use a brad nailer.

Depending on the substrate, choice of glue, and the amount of force and choice of tools during disassembly, the damage can vary in size. You should expect some form of restoration work. In the worst-case scenario, it can be quite extensive. It's significantly easier to remove and causes less damage if you screw or use a nail gun.

Thanks for the response Kardan79

Hi, I found this old thread now when I'm going to mount acoustic panels 😉 Do you have any specific glue to recommend?

Hi
I used assembly adhesive that worked great. Bought it at Byggmax
