Trepanel® is the ideal affordable choice for creating that sought-after wood slat style in your own home. Our panels have a strong felt backing with excellent sound-absorbing qualities, perfect for helping reduce echoes in larger rooms. Trepanel® is constructed with an MDF core, which is so lightweight and easy to cut it can be installed by one person (although you may prefer a team of two for fixing), it’s fast to put up and creates minimal mess so you can transform a space in minutes! The real wood veneered slats have the characteristics of real wood in texture, colour variation and grain, the dark brown walnut shade, visible from all angles. Available in 9 shades, some of which are also available in a wide-slat and mini finish.

Always funny to see that many people criticize someones work he would like to show. You think you're better than him? Upload your video. I haven't seen them yet. This video is pretty good and he delivers nice work. Thanks for sharing.

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

Brilliant install video!
Finally one that has real life problems and how to overcome them. Every other install video just makes it look easy and it’ll be up in 2mins.
Great explanations, top points to you sir!

Just got half way through this excellent video and felt like I know this guy, then it dawned on me Big Brother. Great installation and tips.

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.

Love his videos the way he explains everything gives you the confidence to do it yourself ❤

If you have to have cuts, cut the panels and make sure the cuts are at low level, having the cuts high level is closer to eye vision, lower the better and also use a skeleton back in box for the sockets

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

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.

[melraine]

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

[clipz]

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

[andrewcao]

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.

Great Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Well done mate - NEW SUB 🙏🏻

[JunmarPasion]

I learned something today.Thanks mate 👍

[mikemm]

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.

[garyalcorn]

How can u plug anything in cable comes out the bottom of plug better cutting bit smaller and sitting the socket flush with slats

[sinedk]

Thanks for the tutorial! Very helpful…

[briangallagher]

I think I would paint the black edges on each side white, that would hide how out of plumb those corners are.
