Do You Screw or Glue Acoustic Wall Panels?
Sep 02, 2025
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.
