Can Acupanel Be Glued?

Yes, Acupanel can be glued directly to a wall, making it an excellent option for those who want a fast and tool-free installation. High-strength construction adhesive is commonly used to attach the panels securely to drywall, concrete, or wooden surfaces.

However, it’s important to use the correct type of adhesive and ensure that the wall is clean, flat, and dry before applying the glue.


🔧 Benefits of Gluing Acupanel to a Wall

  1. Quick Installation
    Gluing the panel eliminates the need for screws, nails, or complex tools. Ideal for DIY projects or time-sensitive installations.

  2. Seamless Finish
    Without visible fasteners, glued panels offer a sleek, minimalist aesthetic.

  3. Preserves Wall Integrity
    No drilling means your wall stays free of holes—perfect for rental properties or finished surfaces.

  4. Ideal for Light to Medium Applications
    Especially suitable for feature walls, home offices, or bedroom headboards.


⚠️ Important Considerations When Gluing Acupanel

  • Use a high-quality construction adhesive, such as solvent-free grab adhesives or polyurethane-based glues.

  • Press firmly for full contact between the back of the panel and the wall.

  • Temporary support may be needed while the adhesive cures (usually 24 hours).

  • Not suitable for uneven or rough walls—surface preparation is key.
