How to Stick Acrylic Board to the Wall?

The Problem: Acrylic Board Wall Mounting Challenges

You want to put up an acrylic board. But it is hard to do it right. Many people make big mistakes when they try to stick acrylic boards to walls.

Did you know that 85% of users crack their acrylic when drilling without pilot holes? This can ruin your nice board!

And if you pick the wrong way to stick it up, your board can fall down. That can break the board and hurt someone.

The Problem Gets Worse

Think about what happens when your acrylic board falls down:

• Your nice board breaks
• It might hurt someone
• You waste money
• You have to start over

Poorly installed mechanical anchors fail in 20% of DIY cases because people tighten screws too much.

And did you know that dirty surfaces make adhesives 50% less strong? Your board might stay up for a few days, then crash down!

The Solution: Professional Acrylic Board Installation Methods

Good news! As a leading acrylic sheet manufacturer, we know the best ways to stick acrylic boards to walls. We make high-quality acrylic that stays strong and clear for years.

Let’s look at the 3 best ways to put up your acrylic board:

1. Using Adhesive Tapes (Fast & Easy)

Double-sided foam tape is a top pick for light boards. It’s quick and won’t hurt your wall.

How to do it:

1. Clean both surfaces with alcohol
2. Cut tape strips to fit your board
3. Press firmly for 30+ seconds
4. Mount your board on the wall

This method is 3x faster than using screws and works great for most home uses.[^4]

2. Using Screws & Anchors (Most Secure)

For big, heavy clear acrylic sheets, mechanical fastening is best.

How to do it:

1. Mark the spots for holes with a pencil
2. Use a drill with the right size bit
3. Make pilot holes first – this stops cracks!
4. Put in wall anchors
5. Screw in gently – don’t tighten too much!

Screws keep your board safe for 10+ years when done right.

3. Using Special Acrylic Glue (For Custom Fits)

If you need a clean look with no visible hardware, acrylic glue might work for you.

How to do it:

1. Sand the edge a little bit
2. Apply the glue in small amounts
3. Hold in place until it sets
4. Let it dry for 24 hours
