What goes into this job
Materials and where each one is used
Slatted acoustic backing
Fix behind the fluted panel where the room also has to absorb echo — meeting rooms, call centres, studios.
Learn more Slatted acoustic backingPVC ceiling
A matched ceiling plane keeps the room visually continuous and keeps the services above the grid.
Learn more PVC ceilingCorner trim
Extruded corner profiles close the gap where two panel runs meet. Specify colour-matched to the panel.
LED strip
Set behind the fluted profile, the groove hides the strip and washes the wall rather than the room.
UV board
Marble-look UV board suits lobby and reception walls where a stone appearance is wanted without the weight.

Sequence on site
-
1
Check the substrate
Panel needs a flat, dry backing. Check the wall for level across its width and fix anything that moves before you start.
-
2
Set out from a true line
Mark a true vertical or horizontal datum first and work from it. Every panel after the first is judged against that line.
-
3
Build the furring frame
On a ventilated installation the gap behind the panel is what stops trapped moisture. Fixing flat to the wall removes it.
-
4
Cut and fit
Carbide-tipped blade, cut with the finish face down. Leave the movement gap the panel length calls for.
-
5
Close joints and corners
The interlocking profile carries the joint and the corner trims sit over it. Do not silicone over a joint that still moves.
-
6
Run services before closing
Sockets and lighting come off the wall before the panels go on, not after.

Technical notes
Detail worth knowing before you order
Interior cladding decisions come down to three things: whether the panel is flat or profiled, how it fixes to the substrate, and what the fire requirement is for the room. This page works through each.
For profiled panels, the fixing method changes the substrate requirement — a fluted panel needs a continuous flat backing, while a flat panel can be fixed over a framed wall. Tell us what is behind the wall and we will confirm the fixing detail.

Area, substrate, fire rating and target cost are enough for a first answer.
