Installation tips
Details for a flawless wall.
Laser-level installation
On larger walls, connect the wall brackets with the supplied couplers and align them with a laser level instead of the template.
For bracket spacing, attach two brackets to a panel and measure between their inner edges.
Mounting surfaces
- Drywall
- Use the included anchors.
- Concrete or brick
- Use masonry fasteners.
- Uneven walls
- Mount onto a securely fixed plywood backer.
Alignment
Fasten the anchors semi-tight, so the brackets can self-adjust as each panel slides into place.
LED backlighting
A little light. A dramatic difference.
Create a floating, backlit effect by mounting STACT on a plywood backer spaced 1–2 inches off the wall. Run a plug-in LED strip kit around the perimeter, with the power cord discreetly routed to a nearby outlet.
- Secure the plywood backer to the wall framing.
- Use an off-the-shelf plug-in LED strip kit with its included power adapter.
- Plan the outlet and cord position before mounting.
- Choose dimmable LEDs if desired.
