Quality job! 👍 I'm just about to install some oak panels for a cinema wall, thanks for the tips. for the socket cut outs i'm using 25mm appleby extension boxes with the outside painted black and then refit the sockets flush. Or the plugs won't fit properly and will be fiddly squeezing the cable behind the slat. You just need to make sure the extensions are level with the slats so they don't pull them in when tightening the socket screws.
I feel like that whole bit about starting from the middle to ga s even gaps on each side is somewhat falls flat when you see the final result and there is a huge black gap on the left hand side
That's down to the left hand side wall isn't level, if you look closer to the bottom with cuts land with the same size gap, then we had to widen out cit toward the top to cater for the wall being out unfortunately! hopefully peoples walls on there home won't be put like one of ours. But well stopped
For TVs you can either install them over the top, depending on how long and heavy your screws are, or cut a space in the panels and install it in the space, cheers
if you are cutting the felt you can do it with a trimming knife, if you need just another length of wood, you can pull them off with pliers because they have been stapled on, and if you need to modify the wood you can use a normal jigsaw. Cheers
@@MrandMrsDIY Hi, I believe that the cut of the panel should always be placed underneath so that it is not noticed, or is noticed less, as you put it at the top it is easier to notice, in my opinion.
Yes cuts best at the bottom as it can be hidden with silicon, however you may. not be able to afford to keep using new pieces and waisting the other half so you have to use both pieces @@giovannilabriola9821
These are not acoustic panels. I see them marketed on social media all the time as acoustic panels they are not. Most companies marketing these as acoustic panels show the acoustic tests with these placed against 4 inches of rockwool and the rockwool is whats doing the acoustic absorption not these panels. These panels are just purely decorative, and should only be used for decorative purposes
@@MrandMrsDIY these are acoustic panels in name only. It's what I had my little rant about. If you try looking up these panels, you will find there is no performance information at all. They provide no information on the frequencies they attenuate or the frequencies they damp. They are not acoustic panels and should not be used to tune a room they are purely decorative.
