Have you ever encountered this situation? You’ve already covered an entire wall with acoustic panels, yet you can still hear your neighbor’s voice clearly. Or there’s always a tiny gap at the corner—it looks uneven, and you feel as if noise is sneaking in right from there. In fact, the problem likely lies in the “corner” detail.
Although corners account for only a small portion of the wall, they are often the key pathway for sound leakage. Sound waves have diffraction properties and will “slip” in along the edges of walls. Experimental data shows that if corners are not properly treated, overall sound insulation performance may drop by 15% to 20%. In other words, no matter how high-quality your soundproofing material is, even a small gap at the corner will significantly reduce effectiveness. Therefore, correctly installing corners affects not only aesthetics but also directly determines whether the money you spend truly buys you quiet.
It is now the 2025 Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale season—the best time to upgrade your home’s acoustic environment. Unisoar’s full range of acoustic wall panels is on sale at its lowest annual price, and every order comes with multiple free gifts. Today, we’ll teach you in the most detailed and easy-to-understand way how to perfectly install acoustic wall panels in corners—whether you’re a renovation beginner or trying DIY for the first time, you can easily manage it.
First, you need to prepare some basic tools and materials.
A tape measure or laser distance meter is used to measure wall dimensions.
A pencil is used for marking positions.
A utility knife or small saw is used for cutting panels (soft panels can be cut with a knife; hard panels are better cut with a fine-tooth saw).
Most importantly, you must use specialized acoustic adhesive—something regular glue cannot achieve.
Additionally, a clean cloth or rubber mallet can help you evenly press the panels to ensure tight adhesion.
If you want neater and more durable corners, you can also prepare L-shaped corner trims or external angle protectors.
Step two: handle according to corner type—inside corners vs. outside corners.
✅ Case one: inside corners (where two walls meet inward, such as room corners)
This is the most common “90-degree recessed” corner.
Installation steps (ultra-detailed version):
Measure dimensions first.
Use a tape measure to get the height and width of both walls and calculate how many panels you need. It’s recommended to leave a 2mm expansion gap between panels.
Cut the panel edges (critical!).
For standard straight-edged panels: use a utility knife or small saw to cut a 45° bevel on the joining edge of each of the two panels (just like assembling a picture frame), so they form a perfect 90° when joined.
Tip: practice cutting once on a scrap piece to get familiar with the feel before doing the actual installation!
Apply adhesive and mount.
Evenly apply Unisoar acoustic adhesive to the back of the panels (pay special attention to the edges!).
First attach one side to the wall, aligning with the level line; then install the adjacent side, gently bringing the two beveled edges together.
Press firmly and seal.
Use your hand or a rubber mallet to lightly press from the center toward the corner to expel air.
If there are still tiny gaps, fill them with acoustic sealant (not regular silicone caulk!).
Finally, you can add an L-shaped trim—this hides the seam, prevents damage, and improves appearance!
✅ Case two: outside corners (where two walls protrude outward, such as columns or partition edges)
These corners are easily bumped and require both strength and aesthetics.
Installation steps: Do not forcibly bend the panels! Acoustic panels are not paper—bending them will cause cracks.
Correct method: install two panels separately onto each side. Each panel should reach the outer edge of the corner, without overlapping. Leave a 1–2mm gap between the two panels (to prevent bulging due to thermal expansion). Add an external angle protector, which snaps directly onto the corner: it protects the panels from impact and gives a clean visual finish.
In actual practice, there are several common mistakes you must avoid.
First, never use nails or screws to fix acoustic panels—they may seem secure, but they create “sound bridges” that allow noise to transmit directly through the wall, greatly reducing sound insulation performance.
Second, if the base wall is uneven (deviation over 3mm), you must level it with joint compound before installation; otherwise, it may cause hollow spots or even detachment.
Finally, never substitute regular multipurpose glue for specialized acoustic adhesive—ordinary glue lacks sufficient bonding strength and does not provide acoustic sealing performance.
During the 2025 Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale period, purchasing Unisoar acoustic wall panels now offers exceptional value. Many users have reported that they originally thought corner installation was complicated, but after watching Unisoar’s tutorial, they completed it themselves in just half an hour.
