Doyles Designs – Installation Guide
Installation Guide
Dimensions
  • Panel Size: 2400mm (L) × 600mm (W) × 21mm (D)
  • Wood Slats: 27mm (W) × 13mm (D)
  • PET Backing Felt: 9mm (D)
  • Approx. Weight: 11.3kgs
Installation
  • Screw directly through the backing felt between the slats, into the wall. We recommend using 15 black plasterboard screws (approx. 32mm × 3.5mm).
  • Evenly space the screws across the panel in 5 rows.
  • Please ensure the fixings are into as many of the structural joists as possible if installing panels to the ceiling.
  • If installing onto a brick wall, screw horizontal timber battens to the wall at 600mm intervals and then screw the panels to the battens. This is much faster and easier.
  • To achieve the best Class A acoustic performance the panels need to be installed on 45mm timber battens with 45mm acoustic insulations between. (EN ISO 11654: 1997).
Veneer Faces

Our panels are available in a range of wood and composites and samples can be ordered on our website.

Preparations

The surface you are mounting onto needs to be clean and dry. Ensure it is free from fixings such as nails and screws.

Fixtures and Fittings
  • It is possible to mount brackets and shelving over the panels. Please ensure they are securely fastened to the wall behind.
Cutting
  • Measure twice, cut once.
  • You can cut the panels with a fine tooth handsaw or most handheld saws.
  • The backing felt can be cut with a sharp Stanley knife.
  • For best results we recommend using a new blade on your tools.
