Can panels be installed on unplastered walls, tiles, and metal?

InstallationWood Panels

When renovating spaces, one of the most common questions is whether panels can be glued directly to existing surfaces, without additional construction work.

The answer is – yes, they can, and that's exactly one of their biggest advantages.

On which surfaces can panels be installed?

Panels can be installed directly on various substrates, without the need for removal or plastering, such as:

  • unplastered walls
  • existing ceramic tiles
  • metal surfaces
  • flat and stable wall substrates

It's important that the substrate is solid, dry, and stable, and the installation itself is fast and clean, without dust and major work.
