Acoustic foam tiles can definitely add functionality and a cool look to your room. Especially if you have bad echo from the walls. And in this video I'll show you how to hang acoustic foam so quick and so easy you'll wonder why you even looked at other tutorials!

I got large pack of black and grey wedge style panels so I'll have plenty to work with. To hang these tiles I'll only need the acoustic panels and one more thing you may already have at home. There's no need for spray adhesives, backing panels, double-sided tape or hanging strips. It's really going to be super easy! But first I'll need to decide how I want the acoustic tiles to be arranged on the wall. Depending on the style and colors, these can be arranged in different ways for a cool look.

All I need to attach the panels to the wall are straight sewing pins otherwise known as dressmaker pins. The ones I bought are just over an inch long and really thin so they'll hardly leave a mark in the wall. I choose these pins because they have an ultra tiny head so they're barely visible. But check around your home to see if you already have some of these before buying.

On the wall, I just measured where I wanted my first row of acoustic tiles to start and then marked it with tape. To attach an acoustic panel, just line it up nice and straight on the wall with the tape marks. Insert a pin at the top center of the tile and then tap it in. Even though the pin head is barely visible, I'll take a black Sharpie marker and then draw over the head to camouflage it. Be really careful not to touch the foam with the marker. It's probably a better idea to use the Sharpie marker before tapping these in to avoid marking up the foam.

As mentioned before, one pin in the top center is all it takes. I'm using 12-inch by 12-inch acoustic tiles which should lay flat but you can add some more pins in the corners if needed. Everything I used for the acoustic foam installation is listed here in the description to make it easy for you to find.

****Equipment I Use For My Videos****

This is the best way I have found on YouTube to apply them to the wall, you sir are a genius! Was so cheap and easy. Thank you so much!

[DominikMarczuk]

Mind the material your wall is made of. For drywall, this is a good solution. For brick or, like in my case, solid concrete, this won't work.

[daviddigital]

This is an excellent idea. Glad I found your video. This should hold them nicely and those tiny holes could literally be filled with paint.

[Osiris-wmkj]

Duuddee the pin method is genius. I used 3m tape like a goofball at first 🤣 about to take everything down and reinstall thanks bro

[BRY__BRY]

Just grab yourself a piece of cardboard and super glue a bunch of pieces to it in the pattern you like. The pieces stay flat and secure and then hang up the cardboard with 4 pins on ever corner.

[gabeandkatie]

genius. this has saved me tons of work. i was about to attach them all to plywood and mount that to the wall and i was feeling pretty smart about it. this is better. thanks

[BromineBlues-omyf]

Not gonna lie
I wish I saw your video sooner because I had two mental breakdowns in a row from sticking an entire pack of blu tac to my walls for an hour
to hopelessly try and keep those damn panels up on day 1, and THEN I spent an hour and a HALF doing the same with DOUBLE SIDED TAPE, OF WHICH I USED AN ENTIRE 20 METERS TO NO AVAIL AND NOW I NEED TO SCRAPE ALL THAT CRAP OFF ARGHHHH

[dakotabearjojo]

So simple yet, so brilliant! Thank you for sharing this!

[brandimccomb]

Best way I have found yet!! Thank you. I used the stick strips and 50% fell off the wall. Frustrating.

[hforero]

Much more helpful than adhesive. Glue from tape or spray messes up the walls. The holes left are insignificant and easy to fill if. Much better option. Ty

[cosmicchaos]

I was using the double sided sticky tapes and I gave up after a day, so glad I found this method omg. I don't care for how destroyed my wall looks (I have the paint to repain the wall with ease so I'm fine) but I didn't want to use ahesive glue in the off chance I wanted to move the foam. so this pin method is amazing.

in hindsight, I shouldn't have done it at 10pm, because I ended up worrying my neighbours but they were chill with it.

[emmanuelt.uyjr.]

How about concrete or brick wall does it can be use by pin or not?

[izzydubmusic]

Nice, I normally use the T-pins to avoid needing a hammer.

[Kristian____Forest]

Can I use regular nails instead or just pins?

[cenoroll]

Appreciate it definitely was looking for a way to use acoustic panels and not damaged my walls thanks

[jeffreynaness]

Thanks for the video! Did you do anything to make sure the tiles were exactly even (parallel to the floor and ceiling?). Also, I have watched some videos where they said it is better to have some space between the wall and the acoustic tile (someone taped paper plates to the backs to create some space). Any thoughts on that?

[Steveteeps]

Man how did you hammer these pins even in drywall? I have tried in every way possible and even holding the very tip to the wall the slightest hit from my small hammer bends them immediately. Not sure if I am missing a tip here 🤣

[epa]

Thx mate! Works perfectly for drywall!

[sJayOfficial]

Would black push pins or thumb tacks work also?

[enix]

I've been doing looking around and I heard command strips dont work that well. Why is that ?
