Plan the layout of your panels measuring the available area and panel size before you begin.
2. Prepare wall surface
Thoroughly clean your wall with a clean rag to remove dust and debris. Further cleaning may be necessary in order to create a smooth, flat, clean surface. Allow the area to fully dry.
3. Attach tape to wall
Hang the template with painters tape on the wall in the location needed for the first two panels. Cut the needed strips of the permanent tape per the panel size being installed with scissors or a utility knife. Apply tape to the wall based on panel size. Laminate the tape to the wall surface using a roller, a putty knife, or a piece of rigid block and squeegee/wipe the tape with sufficient pressure to ensure good and uniform adhesive bond strength.
WARNING: Tape is considered permanent and non-removable. The panel will most likely be damaged if it needs to be removed from the tape after installation.
4. Install wall panel
Wearing cleaning gloves, install the Square panels by positioning them against the template locations and firmly press where the tape strips are located. Once the two panels are installed, carefully remove the template from the wall and place it in the next location. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the pattern is complete.
5. Completing the installation
Evaluate the installed panels to check for alignment and overall visual. If there is any extra dust or debris after installing, clean with a clean rag or damp cloth.
Building codes have specific fire performance requirements for materials considered interior finishes based on the flame-spread index and smoke-developed index. The performance criteria is broken into three categories: Class A, Class B, and Class C. Class A materials have a flame-spread index of 25 or less and smoke-developed index of 450 or less. Class B materials have a flame-spread index of 26-75 and smoke-developed index of 450 or less. Class C materials have a flame-spread index of 76–200 and smoke-developed index of 450 or less. Class A materials are appropriate in many commercial applications and Class C (or better) materials are appropriate in many residential applications. Contact your local code official for additional requirements concerning mechanical and sprinkler use.

Acoustical wall panels are installed in a variety of methods - check your products specific installation instructions for details.

Yes, however, please keep in mind that the size of your room impacts the performance of the wall panels.. The bigger the room, the more wall panels needed. One box of acoustical accents will help control the sound in a standard 10 x 10 room.
The noise in a space is measured by Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC), ranging from 0 to 1. Our accent panels have an NRC of 0.85, meaning they absorb 85% of the sound in the space, compare that to a plan drywall which has an NRC of 0.15, and you'll be able to hear the improvement.
The best place to install our acoustical accents in your home are home offices, living areas, or basements.
The best place to install in a commercial building are private offices, conference rooms, hotel rooms, or any small to medium sized room where noise is a concern.
Yes and no. If the window is at a reflection point or near a corner for bass trapping, then yes. However, if the window isn’t in a critical area like this, then it’s usually fine to just skip that location and install the panels elsewhere.
The sound control of the acoustical wall panels is more about the number of panels in the room or the total surface area of all the panels in the room, rather than where the panels are placed individually.
These products are ideally suited to open spaces and high traffic, high impact areas because of their acoustic ability and their impact and scratch resistance. In addition, TECTUM panels hold up well in high moisture areas like swimming pools.
Please check the installation method. Panels can be attached directly to walls and ceilings in forms of panels, clouds, and square or curved and some panels are meant to install using our standard grid systems.
It is recommended to change ceiling tiles out every 10 years. We have a 10-year warranty on most ceiling tiles. You can always patch and match a few tiles in the interim to transform any space or fix damages.
Panels can be field painted up to six times without impacting acoustic or fire performance. For minor dings and scratches, we recommend using a Sharpie in a similar color.
To find replacement tiles, you will need to find the item number of your current tiles. You can do that by removing the ceiling tile and flipping it over. Once you do that, locate the item # on the back of the tile. Enter the item number on our ceiling replacement page to get your match.
Dust and loose dirt may easily be removed by light brushing or with a vacuum cleaner. The best attachments to use are the ones for cleaning upholstery or walls. Make sure to clean in one direction only to prevent rubbing dust into the surface of the ceiling.
After loose dust has been removed, other marks can be easily erased with an ordinary eraser. Although, a fresh wall cleaner may be preferred.
Mineral fiber ceilings may be cleaned with a moist cloth or a sponge dampened in water containing mild soap. The sponge should contain as little water as possible. After washing, the soapy film should be wiped off with a cloth or sponge slightly dampened in clean water.
Look for the disinfectable and cleanable icons for more information on your specific ceiling tile. You can also download our cleaning and disinfecting guidelines for more information.
The Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) value is the % of sound that can be absorbed by that tile. The best NRC ceiling tiles can absorb up to 95% of sound. Example: An NRC of .95 can absorb 95% of the sound that strikes the tiles surface.
The Ceiling Attenuation Class (CAC) value is the number of decibels the tile can block from leaving or entering a closed room when installed as a drop ceiling. The best ceiling tiles have a CAC of 45, which blocks 45 decibels of sound that hit the tiles surface.

Yes. Almost all of the products sold on Kanopibyarmstrong.com are Armstrong Ceilings products. Kanopi will continue to expand its product offering of Armstrong products, as well as additional manufacturers added on in the future.
FIRE GUARD means that the product is engineered and tested as part of a fire resistant system, which includes tile, grid and the structure itself. Please check local building codes requirements for your space. The following link will direct you to additional information and support for Armstrong's Fire Resistant ceiling systems.
Fire ratings refer to flame spread and smoke development. Ratings indicate how rapidly flame spreads on one surface as compared to another. The flame spread rating is broken into three categories: Class A, Class B and Class C. Class A products have a flame-spread of 25 or less, and smoke developed of 50 or less. Class C products have a flame-spread of 76-200, and smoke developed of 0-450. Class A products are appropriate in the majority of commercial applications and Class C products are appropriate in most residential applications.
Armstrong products come packaged in cartons to protect and maintain product integrity. Shipping individual or smaller groups of tiles or grid can impact the quality of tile or grid. Kanopi sells solely in carton format because of this reason. BONUS: It's always good to have extra material on hand for accidents or damage over time.
