Acoustic Wallcovering Installation & Maintenance for Long-Lasting Performance
Wallcovering is more than just a decorative wall finish; it is a functional interior solution that enhances both the aesthetic appeal and comfort of a space. From hotels and offices to private residences, wallcovering solutions have become a preferred choice thanks to their rich textures, practicality, and outstanding durability.
However, to achieve the best results and ensure your wallcovering last for many years, correct installation and proper maintenance are essential.
As a trusted interior solutions provider based in Singapore, Pepperwall shares essential tips to help ensure your acoustic wallcovering installations not only look beautiful but also remain durable, problem-free, and long-lasting.
Preparation Before Installing Wallcovering
Ensure the Wall Is Ready for Installation
Before installing wallcovering, the wall surface must be:
Completely dry (avoid damp or wet walls)
Smooth and even, free from cracks or holes
Clean, with no dust, grease, or mould
Wallcovering Installation Tips for a Flawless Finish
1. Measure and Cut with Precision
Accurately measure the height and width of the wall before cutting wallcovering. Allow an extra 1–2 cm to accommodate adjustments during installation.
2. Start from the Centre or a Concealed Corner
Begin installation from the focal point of the room or a less visible corner. This helps disguise seams and maintain pattern symmetry, especially for wallcovering designs.
How to Maintain Wallcovering for Long-Lasting Beauty
1. Routine Cleaning(Weekly/Monthly)
Dusting: Use a soft microfiber cloth or a duster to gently remove surface dust.
Vacuuming: For a deeper clean, use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment on its lowest suction setting. This pulls dust out from within the textured fibers without pulling or "pilling" the material.
2. Spot Cleaning Stains
PET is non-porous compared to foam, making it easier to clean, but you must act quickly if a spill occurs.
Blot, Don’t Rub: Use a clean, damp cloth to blot the stain. Rubbing or scrubbing too hard can permanently change the texture of the felt or push the stain deeper into the fibers.
Mild Soap Solution: For stubborn marks like fingerprints or food, use a mixture of warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap.
Advanced Disinfection: Unlike many other acoustic materials, high-quality PET can often handle 75% alcohol or mild bleach solutions for sanitization in healthcare or high-traffic settings (always test on a small, hidden area first).
3. What to Avoid
Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using strong acids, bleach (unless specified as safe by the manufacturer), or abrasive cleaners that could break down the polyester fibers.
Excessive Moisture: Do not soak the panels. While PET is water-resistant, excess moisture can seep behind the panel, weakening the adhesive or causing mold growth on the wall surface.
Heat: Keep panels away from direct heat sources or open flames, as excessive heat can melt or deform the polyester material.
4. Long-Term Maintenance Tips
Direct Sunlight: To prevent color fading over several years, try to install panels away from intense, direct UV exposure or use window treatments.
Periodic Inspection: Every 6 months, check the edges of the panels to ensure the adhesive is still holding firmly to the wall.
