Where Warmth Meets Your Space

Nord Panels exhibit remarkable flexibility and durability due to their acoustical felt backing, rendering them suitable for vertical installations on both concave and convex surfaces. We recommend a minimum radius of 3 feet for curved wall applications. For a precise assessment of your project's suitability, kindly provide images of your space for our expert evaluation.

The installation of Nord Panels can be achieved through two primary methods: adhesive or screws. The choice of the ideal method depends on several factors, including wall material, location, and available tools. In the case of drywall or stud installations, we generally advocate for screw fastening. We recommend screws that match the panel's color, with a length of approximately 1.5 inches, corresponding to the color of the felt backing. Silver or grey screws, stainless steel, or zinc-plated options are advisable for panels with grey felt. For concrete wall installations, adhesive or silicon may be a preferred choice. Nevertheless, adhesive should not be used for ceiling applications due to safety considerations. In the case of adhesive attachment to the felt backing, we recommend utilizing construction adhesive suitable for all surfaces. Trustworthy brands such as Gorilla and LiquidNails offer appropriate products for this type of installation.

Nord Panels can indeed be installed in well-ventilated kitchens or bathrooms, provided that the relative air humidity does not exceed 60%. We advise maintaining a minimum distance of six feet from showers to prevent excessive moisture exposure. The panels, pre-finished for your convenience, are capable of withstanding mild splashes and intermittent contact with moisture on the wood surface.

Nord Panels come pre-finished and are ready for installation. Consequently, we do not recommend additional staining or painting, as the pre-finished wood is not conducive to absorbing further paint or stain.

If your project necessitates panels of even greater height, customization is possible by trimming the panels with a circular saw to attain the desired dimensions. Executed correctly, this approach results in minimal seams, which can be further concealed with wood filler as needed.

Nord Panels can be successfully installed on ceilings. Safety is paramount in ceiling installations, and we strongly advise securing the panels with screws into the ceiling joists. For parallel installations relative to the joists, the addition of battens on the ceiling can facilitate mounting the panels. Ceiling installations are best accomplished using a screw-fastening method.

Nord Panels are renter-friendly and can be secured using screws through the felt backing. Upon relocation, only minor screw holes will remain, which typically fall within the realm of acceptable wear and tear under most lease agreements. Wall putty can be used to fill these holes and restore your walls. In non-permanent installations, we advise against adhesive attachment to drywall, as the removal of adhesive may lead to wall damage.

Nord Panels are fashioned from MDF and feature natural wood veneer with a felt backing, making them unsuitable for outdoor use. These panels are intended exclusively for indoor applications.

Regrettably, individual slats without the felt backing are not available.

While we do not provide specific hardware for sliding or concealed doors, Nord Panels can be used to construct such doors in conjunction with appropriate hardware and installation methods. Various sliding or concealed door kits are readily accessible online or at local hardware retailers. Use our panels to create the door structure and then affix the requisite hardware to achieve your desired functionality.
