Quick answer: You can install wall panels yourself in a home if the wall is smooth and you have a level, a drill or a no-drill kit, and a helper. Supply-only panels are from S$120 each, against from S$185 supplied and installed. Get a professional for ceilings, high walls, business spaces, glass, or more than about 10 panels. Most DIY problems are panels in the wrong spots and fixings that fail.

Key takeaways

  • DIY suits simple home walls; supply-only is from S$120.
  • Ceilings, heights and commercial jobs need a pro.
  • Placement matters as much as fixing.

What DIY needs

A spirit level, measuring tape, pencil, drill or no-drill kit, the right wall plugs, and someone to hold the panel. Plan the layout on paper first. A row of 4 panels takes a careful beginner an hour or two.

When DIY makes sense

One bedroom, home office or small studio. Flat painted walls. Panels at standing height. You are happy to fill a few holes later.

The most common DIY mistakes

1) Panels in the wrong spots. 2) All panels on one wall. 3) Tape that peels off in the humidity. 4) Drilling into a pipe or wire. 5) Crooked rows. See where to place panels first.

What you get with installation

Our team brings the right fixings, checks behind the walls and lines every panel up. Ceiling panels are always fixed mechanically, never glued. Typical installs take a few hours to 1–2 days. Panels cost from S$185 each supplied and installed (50 mm, standard fixings included). See is installation included.

A middle way

Buy panels from us and put them up yourself. Send a photo first: quotes from photos are free, and the quote tells you how many panels the room needs. Ask us if you also want help with where they go. See quotes from photos.

A DIY checklist

Plan the layout on paper. Mark the panel positions with tape. Check for pipes and wires. Use a level for every row. Fix the top edge first. Step back and check the line before fixing the rest.

Common DIY problems

Tape and sticky pads can let go in humid Singapore air. Panels bunched on one wall leave the other walls bouncing sound. A ceiling panel that is glued can sag, so ceiling panels must always be fixed mechanically. A panel in good condition can be taken down and re-fixed with a proper mount.

What we see on real jobs

We sell panels to people who want to DIY. Send a photo first, because placement makes the biggest difference.
