How to Install Wood Slat Wall Panels | Trepanel

Excellent work! Thank you

How much did it cost to do that wall?

Firstly the sockets are too recessed for plugs to fit as most are moulded and secondly I would have the full panel touch the ceiling and cuts below, but that’s my preference

how effective are these panels when it comes to acoustic isolation?

How much for each panels

Why not long electric socket screws and leave the sockets flush. I think you would have trouble getting a lot of plugs to fit into the socket.

This man is a real tutor by nature, Awesome work 🥂🔥

Look how many tools he needs just to install these slats 😂

Great tutorial, but I woulr not call this quick or easy😂

Wouldn't listen to him if you paid me!!

Hey guys! Craig also dropped 2 videos on our channel!

If you are doing a cut that leave the slats moving around, it’s better to staple the felt to the batten on the back, near to where you are going to cut. Much better than gluing them

Good demo and info 👍✌Well done Craig 👏and thank you.

Great tutorial. For the electric socket, I would personally use some ply to shim between the wall and a patress box to bring the socket forward flush with the panel.

I stumbled on this video through suggestions and I'm left feeling glad that Craig got out of Avid Merrion's cupboard.

You should buy 2.9m in height to get the full height in one length rather than buying 2.4m and then adding stupid pieces and have a line there which’s not a professional job at all

The wall never be level but it may or not be upright

What a silly fad these walls are, socket finish looks bad

It's a pity that you have to struggle with these panels not produced with enough height, so a beautifully wall is kind of ruined by that little piece at the top; looks amateur. I would have bought one, if manufactures had offered 9 feet height.

firstly, use glue to stick them up, whether thats contact glue or a construction adhesive.
secondly, use a galvanised extension box to bring the socket out, cut the hole for the socket the same size as the back box so the socket face overlaps the wood, get a roll of black felt tape, wrap the metal extension box in felt tape so that when you look down on it you cant see the metal extension box. done this lots of times and looks fantastic

That looks a right mess at the top! For starters I’d have done that at the bottom, because you’re more likely to have it concealed by furniture.

But, really all you needed to do was buy the slightly longer ones and cut them down to size for a full length no seam finish!

Any off cuts you can use for other little projects.

ignore the lot

Just be careful with the mains sockets if the facia's are fitted flush on top of the wood slat and the back box ( plastered in place ? ) is left in the solid wall a small gap would be open between the slats that a child could get there finger behind the socket facia and possible touch the live contact. Would be best to fit off cuts of wood or felt to cover gaps or clip in plastic box with back removed. I no it is pickee but just a through.

European quality in housing is straight up awful. I’ve seen diy’ers in America do a better job than euro professionals. Some are baffling, other stuff is abysmal. I’m well traveled and seen nightmares so often I can’t believe it passes inspection, if there even is such a thing as

great vid acutally got some free samples from the site which is great but i've gotta go around a window and im not looking forward to it but seeing this give me a little more confidence

Socket cut outs should be smaller than the face plate so the face plate can be fitted in front to hide the opening. Buy slats that are floor to ceiling length or put the cut somewhere less obvious e.g. behind your bed frame. An alternative look is just to fix slats to the bottom half of the wall.

Cuts at the top look horrendous!!!

Hard on the eyes

Sockets look awful and the extra slip on top as apposed to having a length longer than the floor to ceiling and cutting that so its one piece is also not very appealing!

would it be an idea to run the long panel from the ceiling down having the joint at the bottom, usually bed/lockers will obscure them more, but maybe a bit my fiddly to fit.

Can you put foil insulation behind them to help keep the heat in?

The top half cut-in is what I was most interested in, but all the photo shots blurred it out. When one buys panels that don't make it to the top, how good can someone hide the lines? I think, cannot.

I was going to get these for my room but to be honest with you it's a bit too much faffing about. And when it's done it won't look perfect😩

Always wondered what happened to Craig after Big Brother...clear talker for a Scouser 😊

Why are they not possible to be stuck to wall like most wall panels? 75 holes drilled & plugged!! excessive work, when in many cases drywall is blob & dabbed to walls!

Best tutorial on installing slat walls out there by far. Saved me from many mistakes. Subbed

Looks good.

Most clear tutorial. Really helpful

You were getting confused between level and plumb! 😂

are drywall screws really necessary for this? the slats are at extremely low inertia force torwards the floor when they are sitting on top of the trim like that, seems like you could just nail it in and be fine.

How do you hide the screws?

Thank you for the video, subbed!
