Do You Screw or Glue Acoustic Wall Panels?

When it comes to installing acoustic wall panels, one of the most common questions is: Should you screw or glue them to the wall? Both methods are widely used, but the right choice depends on your wall type, the panel design, and whether you want a permanent or removable solution. Let’s break it down.

🔧 Screwing Acoustic Panels

Pros:

• Provides a strong, secure hold

• Ideal for heavy or large wood slat acoustic panels

• Suitable for uneven or textured walls

• Easy to remove and re-install without damaging the panel

Cons:

• Requires drilling holes into the wall

• May leave marks if you remove the panels later

👉 Best for: Permanent installations or when mounting panels on drywall, brick, or concrete.

🟫 Gluing Acoustic Panels

Pros:

• Quick and easy installation without tools

• No visible screws or hardware

• Perfect for lightweight PET acoustic panels

Cons:

• Creates a permanent bond (hard to remove without damaging walls)

• Less effective on rough or dusty surfaces

• May not hold up well for heavier wood slat panels

👉 Best for: Temporary setups or smooth surfaces like painted drywall.

🏆 What’s the Best Option?

• If you want flexibility and the option to re-arrange panels in the future, screws are the safer choice.

• If you want a fast, seamless look and don’t plan to move the panels, glue is a convenient option.
