AcoustIQ Panel - Install Instructions
Substrate Preparation
Cutting AcoustIQ Panels
• AcoustIQ Panels can be installed on substrates including plasterboard, MDF, ply board and fibre cement sheets. • Not recommended for substrates with textured or rough surfaces. • Before installation, ensure all joins and gaps in the substrate are sealed. Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free of dust, oil, old sealant or other contamination. • Lightly contaminated surfaces should be wiped with Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) using the 2-rag wipe method. Apply IPA to a clean lint-free cloth and wipe onto the surface to be cleaned to solubilise and remove the majority of the contaminant. • A clean dry cloth should then be applied to remove remaining contamination and dry the surface. • For more heavily contaminated surfaces or where the IPA does not remove the contaminant, a generic wax and grease remover should be applied using the same 2-rag wipe method. Once this has been completed the surface should be given a final clean with IPA using the 2-rag wipe method to ensure the surface is adequately prepared.
• The recommended cutting method is to use a saw with track and guide with a granite blade or cutter blade. • If using a blade, ensure the blade is 90 degrees to the surface for square edges and for best results on butt joints. • Ensure the blade is sharp and not too long or exible to avoid skew cuts. • Replace the blade often to maintain sharpness. • For best results, use multiple cuts and light pressures. • Take maximum care for best results. • Keep at and use a backing mat. • Use a secure straight edge for straight cuts.
Specific Adhesive Recommendations AcoustIQ Panels can be direct fixed with “X40 Spray Glue” or alternatively with “Bostik – No More Nails” Adhesive or 3M double sided tape. Please ensure adhesive is applied to both the substrate and the panelling before proceeding. It’s the installer’s responsibilities to ensure adequate substrate preparation and correct amount adhesive is applied. Trial the adhesive to check the bond is satisfactory. Ensuring sufficient bonded surface area is critical for achieving sufficient wet grab strength (initial grab) to hold the panel in place whilst the adhesive cures. Average curing time for the adhesive will be 5 to 10 minutes.

Care and Maintenance
Installation
Step 1: Each panel has a back and front side, the back side has a rough finish & front side has a smooth finish. Ensure you are installing it correctly. Step 2: Cut to desired size Step 3: Apply adhesive to the back of the first panel as per manufacturer’s instructions/specifications. Ensure all edges are square.
Step 4: Place first panel with edge contact first following with the other half. Step 5: Ensure you have pressed it down flat with clean hands with no air pockets between the surfaces.
Regular Care
•
Protect from direct heat and sunlight.
• Do not scrub or abrade the panel as this will affect the surface finish. • Once the stain or mark has been loosened then blot the excess solution out with a dry clean cloth. • Sponge afterwards with clean warm water and mop any excess moisture with a dry clean sponge or cloth. • The panel can also be spot cleaned with dry cleaning fluid. Lightly sponge a small amount of dry cleaning fluid and blot. • Dry away from direct head and sunlight. • Avoid the use of carpet shampoos.
• To prevent dust build up, lightly dust with a soft cloth or vacuum with a soft brush attachment. Spot Cleaning • Professional cleaning is always recommended. • Always test any cleaning products on an inconspicuous are prior to commencing cleaning. • Blot any excess spills from the material with a dry clean sponge or cloth. • Treat all stains as soon as possible. • Most marks can be spot cleaned by lightly wetting the affected area with a mild detergent and warm water solution. • Do not saturate the panel, screen or felt.
