What Is the Best Way to Mount Acoustic Panels?

Mounting acoustic panels correctly is one of the most important steps in achieving effective sound control. Whether you’re improving the acoustics in a home studio, office, restaurant, or theater, proper installation determines how well your panels perform—and how good they look.

In this guide, we’ll cover the best ways to mount acoustic panels, from easy DIY approaches to professional techniques, and show why Guangdong Leeyin Acoustics is the trusted partner for premium wood slat and acoustic wall panels worldwide.

Why Proper Mounting Matters

Even the best acoustic panel won’t perform effectively if it’s not mounted correctly. The right installation method ensures:

• Maximum sound absorption – Panels need slight air gaps or proper spacing to trap sound waves efficiently.

• Clean aesthetics – Flush, aligned installation enhances visual appeal.

• Safety and durability – Secure mounting prevents panels from shifting or falling over time.

Best Methods to Mount Acoustic Panels

1. Screw Mounting (Permanent & Professional)

Screwing panels directly into the wall is the most secure and long-lasting option.

• Ideal for MDF-backed wood slat panels or heavy acoustic boards.

• Recommended for stud walls or drywall with anchors.

• Use screws with washers to distribute pressure evenly.

Tip: This method works perfectly for Leeyin’s wood slat acoustic panels, ensuring a solid fit while maintaining sleek lines.

2. Z-Clips or French Cleats (Removable Option)

Z-clips and French cleats offer a professional, removable mounting system that allows you to take panels down for cleaning or reconfiguration.

• Provides a small air gap between panel and wall—enhancing sound absorption.

• Offers a neat, floating appearance.

• Easy to install on multiple surfaces.

3. Adhesive or Acoustic Glue (Quick DIY Installation)

For lighter panels, such as PET felt acoustic panels, strong construction adhesive or acoustic mounting glue can be used.

• Great for renters or those avoiding wall damage.

• Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying adhesive.

• Hold the panel in place for several seconds to secure the bond.

Note: For long-term performance, we recommend mechanical fixing over adhesive-only methods.

4. Velcro Strips or Command Hooks (Temporary Mounting)

Perfect for temporary installations, exhibitions, or rented spaces.

• No drilling required.

• Allows repositioning panels easily.

• Works best for lightweight panels and smooth walls.

However, avoid using this method in humid areas or on textured walls.

How Height and Position Affect Performance

Mounting isn’t just about technique—it’s about placement.

• For home theaters or offices, install panels at ear level for best sound absorption.

• In recording studios, cover first reflection points on side and back walls.

• For large spaces, evenly distribute panels across surfaces to maintain balance.
