Quick answer: Good acoustic panels do not grow mould in normal Singapore rooms with aircon or fans. Mould needs damp, still air and something to feed on. The risk comes from wet walls, leaks, rooms that are shut for weeks without air, and cheap panels. Keep panels off damp walls, let air move, and they stay fresh for years.

Key takeaways

  • Normal aircon or fan rooms are fine.
  • Damp walls, leaks and closed-up rooms are the risk.
  • Fix the damp first, then put up panels.

Why people worry

Singapore's air is humid most of the year. Fabric things like sofas and curtains can get musty if a room stays shut and damp. So it makes sense to ask about fabric-covered panels.

What mould needs

Mould grows when there is water, still air and something to feed on, like dust or natural fibres. Remove one of these and it cannot grow. Rooms with aircon or a fan that runs most days rarely get mould.

Which rooms are risky

Rooms with a leaking pipe or window, walls with damp patches, store rooms that stay shut, and rooms right next to bathrooms with no fan. Never put panels on a wall that is wet. Fix the leak first.

What our panels are made of

Our Flexi™ panels are fire safe and formaldehyde safe. Like any fabric item, they stay fresh in rooms where the air moves. Keep them away from water and steam.

How to keep panels fresh

Let air move. Run the aircon or a fan sometimes, even in rooms you do not use much. Vacuum the fabric lightly every few months. Clean them gently, and never soak or paint them.

What about wet areas?

We do not put fabric panels in showers, pool areas or open-air spots that get rain. For those, there are other materials made for wet areas. Keep fabric panels away from water and steam everywhere else too.

Quick checks before install

Look for damp patches, bubbling paint or a musty smell on the wall. Check for leaks above windows after heavy rain. If you find any, fix the cause and let the wall dry first. We check every wall on install day too.

Rooms that need extra care

Store rooms, unused bedrooms and church halls used once a week need extra care. Open them up and run a fan or the aircon now and then, so the air moves and stays dry. Keep panels away from water and steam.

What we see on real jobs

We check every wall before we fix panels. If we see a damp patch or a leak, we tell the client and wait until it is fixed. It saves everyone a headache later.
