How to Install Wood Slat Wall Panels

[@jim9520]

Thank you. Great video. I can install them now.

[@Daniells1982]

I like how you screwed rather than used adhesive to fix the panels. Like you, I'm thinking there'll be a time where I'd want to remove the panels and the adhesive will destroy the walls. Good shout my man.

[@bhimmeup]

Glad you went the prefab route; it definitely looks great with the layout you designed. The shelves take it to another level! Can't wait to see what the space looks like once you've set it up 🙌🏽

[@AnakinVeyder]

This is one heck of a video mate. Patience and perseverance = perfection! Well done and thanks for sharing all the details!

[@StevenLanham]

Hey appreciate the kind words - cheers!

[@margaretlinscott7099]

That was great. All explained really well. Looks very impressive😊

[@dash1dash2]

Aren't you using too many fasteners though? Screws every 3 inches feels like overkill to me. I'd go with adhesive and brad nails at an angle on the side of the wood slats for an invisible look.

[@StevenLanham]

@@dash1dash2 the recommendation is adhesive only (no braids needed) but since this is a rented office, I wanted it to removable down the road if necessary. The screws every three inches is the recommendation on the manufacturers website. Had this been in my home I would have used adhesive for sure. Since the screws are visible and my desk faces them I do wish I had taken more care in lining them up perfectly as I notice the little imperfections.

@@StevenLanham Makes sense!

[@EricTorres-f2m]

Great video! Were the screws sturdy enough to hold the panels in place without drywall anchors?

[@EnjoiYaHeard]

I may of missed it, are you just screwing into the drywall or the studs? Thanks

[@larryarnoldjr35]

Dry wall

[@libinjohn4042]

Good work but you didn’t show the whole picture of room after installation in a wide angle. Should have done that!

[@PaulKachi]

Can the screw stick tight to the wall? Or is there anything that can hold it very well

[@StevenLanham]

According to their website, the other method is to use construction glue (like liquid nails) and literally stick it to the wall. This obviously means it's permanent and couldn't be removed without destroying the panels or drywall. The screws hold the panels close to the wall and I've had no issues at all.

[@techfeanology6437]

@StevenLanham Hmm... My wall is concrete. So I guess the worst that can happen is that it will peel the paint off. Imagine all those screw holes in a concrete wall. The other option I have is to make a wooden/sheetrock frame against my wall and then add those slats to the wall.

[@PaulKachi]

@@techfeanology6437 what if my wall is not concrete Can plaster hold it ?

[@figolovechild]

I’m guessing you used a square assuming your skirting and ceiling is completely level?

[@lovelycelita]

Just bought these! Very good video! One question : how to screw with cement wall? 🙄 Any idea? Hard to see behind... We also have a high fast binding glue...

[@fahadminhaj8413]

What type of screws did you use? Are they for the drywall?

[@StevenLanham]

I just used these: Screws: amzn.to/4hy13mU. Decent enough to hold the panels to the drywall. The panels aren't heavy so the screws are simply there to "hold" it against the wall. You could use drywall screws but since the cap of the screw is visible, a drywall screw isn't very attractive.

[@fahadminhaj8413]

@@StevenLanham I appreciate your reply. Thank you.

[@No1TasLis]

Great details! Thank you!

[@tracyoraw295]

Absolutely beautiful job 😀

[@norbertschubert9419]

Is this a Dry wall you doing this and does the screw hold this in there

[@StevenLanham]

Yes, it's going into regular drywall. I used #8×1-1/2" Black Truss Head Wood Screws (Amazon) and I haven't had any issues. I wanted a more decorative screw but honestly a standard drywall screw would have worked well (or even better because of the fact that drywall screws are specifically used for drywall). The screws hold the panels nicely. I followed the recommendations of the manufacturer in terms of screw spacing and placement.

[@norbertschubert9419]

Thank you very much I hope I will have the same result like you

[@dominickcally2735]

So you don’t have to hit studs . Just screw into the drywall itself ?

[@StevenLanham]

@@dominickcally2735 yeah, that's what I did. The manufacturer provides screw placement guides which I followed and I haven't had a problem. They aren't supporting any weight so the screws simply "hold" the panels to the wall (as opposed to fastened or mounted which implies a more significant bond). I wanted these to be removable in the event I move out of this rented space.

How To Buy This

[@Africa62524]

Isn’t the glue better than screw? But great video

[@StevenLanham]

Yes, glue is the recommended way to attach. I used screws as this is a temporary setup in a rented office.

[@macmerc1556]

Probably but it will wreck the wall if you want to take it off later. A big job to replace the plasterboard/dry wall

[@wepanels]

Amazing

[@robcullum7061]

Hi, did you use plugs for the holes or just screw straight into the wall? Thank you 😊

[@StevenLanham]

Great question. I just drilled straight in. They are just intended to hold the panels against the wall as they aren't weight bearing. Putting in plugs would have been insanely tedious and overkill. That said, another option might have been to reduce the number of screws significantly and use plugs (i.e. at the corners).

Why did you stick some garden fencing to your bedroom wall, lad?

Would love to see your gaff 😂

[@alhachlibou3lam94]

هذا عمل جميل ورائع جدا

[@Antonnn1111]

Mistake not taking the baseboards off and running the slats all the way down to the floor. Looks goofy with the white baseboards below , good job either way

[@StevenLanham]

Yep, that is one option but then you're going to perhaps see some unsightly materials in the gap between the drywall and carpet in the spaces between the slats. I opted to go flush with the baseboard since the baseboard was square and has a nice flush finish.
