Do I need to add black felt to the surface behind the panels?

You have probably seen a few install videos from influencers or fitters where a black felt has been used directly behind the foliage panels to hide or disguise the surface appearance.

The majority of our premium foliage panels are dense/ thick enough to not require this. They should hide the surface wall well enough to hide the surface material behind. For example a brick wall, solid timber fence etc..

We only advise a black out felt when there is direct light shinning through the surface behind. To ensure you create a finish that is realistic. Surface types for example such as a single sided slat fence that has direct sun light or a street light shining through.

If unsure – please do not hesitate to contact us.
