If you want to install mdf acoustic panels, start from the six lines the catalog prints, not from a video that happens to show a wall. The lines are short. One of them is written for a mirror. The factory videos on the installation page are real, and they are labelled for other materials. Mixing those up is how a careful wall gets the wrong fixing story.
The six lines, as printed
This is the sequence in the acoustic catalog. It is quoted here, not improved.
| Step | Catalog line |
|---|---|
| 1 | Measure the wall dimensions. |
| 2 | Measure the size of the mirror. |
| 3 | Cut to the appropriate size. |
| 4 | Apply nail-free adhesive to the back. |
| 5 | Use a power drill to secure the screws to the wall. |
| 6 | Finish and enjoy it. |
Step 2 says mirror. That is not a loose word for every board. The mirror acoustic tiles are the PJ codes, PJ001 through PJ012. The size table does not print a width or a length for them, which is why the catalog tells you to measure the mirror rather than handing you a face size. For those tiles, follow the line.
For a grille panel that is not a mirror, the catalog does not rewrite step 2 into a second sentence. Steps 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are the lines around it: measure the wall, cut to the size the wall needs, adhesive on the back, screws with a power drill, then finish. Before you cut a profile that is not a mirror, confirm the cutting plan for that code. The catalog does not print a cutting allowance, a joint gap, or a screw spacing.
The installation page on this site shortens step 2 to “Measure the panel and mark the layout,” and it says the mirror tiles use the same fixing sequence. That is a site summary. The catalog sentence is “Measure the size of the mirror.” Keep the catalog sentence for PJ001–PJ012. For a grille that is not a mirror, measure the wall, then confirm the cut for that code before you treat the shortened line as the method.
The tool list, as printed
Eight tools. No substitutes are named, so this guide will not invent a brand of adhesive or a blade type.
| Tool | Where it sits in the sequence |
|---|---|
| Tape measure | Step 1, and step 2 when the piece is a mirror. |
| Pencil | Marking what you measured, before the cut. |
| Cutting machine | Step 3. The catalog does not name the blade. |
| Strong nail free glue | Step 4, on the back of the panel. |
| Nail gun | Listed with the kit. The step that names a fixing action is the drill and screws. |
| Steam nail | Listed with the kit. |
| Steam nailer | Listed with the kit. |
| Filler | Listed with the kit, for the finish. |
| Power drill and screws | Step 5. Screws go into the wall. |
Read that table literally. The catalog lists a nail gun, steam nail, and steam nailer, and the numbered step that describes fixing says adhesive plus screws driven with a power drill. It does not say "use the nail gun instead of screws", and it does not say "use both on every board". If a code needs one and not the other, that answer comes from the sales team with the code, not from a guess that makes the list tidier.
What the factory videos are
The installation page carries five factory clips. They are installation videos. They are not customer projects, and they are not all the MDF grille sequence above.
| Clip | Language | What the file is |
|---|---|---|
| Glass acoustic panel | As recorded | Glass acoustic panel installation. Not a stand-in for an MDF grille code. |
| PS wall panel | English | PS wall panel. PS embossed boards are a different material and are not sold here as MDF. |
| PS wall panel | Spanish | The same PS installation, in Spanish. |
| WPC wall panel | English | WPC wall panel installation. |
| WPC wall panel | Spanish | The same WPC installation, in Spanish. |
Watch them on the installation page when you want to see a hand moving through a fixing. Then come back to the six lines if the board in your hand is an MDF acoustic profile or a mirror tile. A PS clip does not become an MDF instruction because it was filmed in a workshop. The material is in the title of the clip for that reason.
Measure the wall before you trust the board length
Step 1 is the wall, not the carton. A code printed at 240 cm long, such as SAP061, is a board of that length in the catalog. It is not a promise that the board fills a finished room of 240 cm after skirting, a ceiling trim, or a socket. Measure the wall. If the board is longer than the opening, step 3 is the cut. If you need a length the row does not print, don't cut the number down on the order and hope. Ask.
Tile codes work the other way. A 60 cm by 60 cm face, such as SAP013, is counted in tiles, and the edge of the wall is where the cut happens. The catalog still doesn't give you a waste factor. Count the whole tiles, name the code, and ask about the cuts when the wall is not a clean multiple.
Sizes for every printed row are in the size guide. Finish codes, if you are fixing a faced board and need the sample to match, are in the finish guide. Fixing does not change the code, and the code does not change the six lines.
A fixing note you can send with the order
Write three things under the profile code: the size from the catalog row, the finish code if you have chosen one, and a line that says the fixing follows the catalog sequence, with step 2 kept for mirror tiles. Add the destination country and the quantity. That is enough for the quote to start. If the wall is awkward, say what is awkward — a socket, a corner, a mirror tile beside a grille — in ordinary words. Don't attach a screw layout the catalog never drew.
Samples, if the face is still undecided, are a separate request on the samples page. Fix the sample decision before you fix the boards. Adhesive on the back is step 4, and it is a poor moment to discover the cloth was the wrong code.
Page two of the catalog says flame retardant, innocuity, and reduce noise, and the introduction states a sound absorption coefficient of 0.8. Neither line is an installation instruction, and neither line names a test standard. Don't add a grade while you are writing the method.
If you are handing this to an installer who has not seen the catalog, give them the six lines and the tool names, and tell them which code is going on the wall. An installer who only watches the PS clip will fix a different material. An installer who only reads the shortened step on the installation page will miss that the catalog’s second line is about the mirror. The code decides which of those stories applies.
The six lines and the tool names come from the acoustic catalog. The 0.8 figure comes from the product introduction. Page two of the catalog supplies the three words and nothing else. The videos are factory clips, filed by the material in the filename.
