When painting Troldtekt acoustic panels, the process depends on whether you are painting untreated natural wood panels or factory pre-painted Troldtekt panels. Even more important is your choice of paint type and colour.
For factory pre-painted Troldtekt panels, use a water-soluble silicate paint. The composition of the new paint must be compatible with the existing paint; in other words, it must be of the same quality and type in relation to specification and suitability.
Only use paint types which have been tested for hazardous substances. Troldtekt has the following recommendations regarding the different panel types:
1. White paint on factory pre-painted Troldtekt panels
Recommended paint type: Water-based styrene acrylic paint
Coverage: Approx. 350 g/m² in a single coat
2. Other colours on Troldtekt factory pre-painted panels

If the new paint is being used to cover a contrast colour, it may be necessary to apply more paint.
