Step-by-Step Guide: Installing Faux Leather Golf Simulator Protection Panels Using Button-Fix

Enhance your golf simulator room with the luxurious look and feel of Advanced Sims Faux Leather Protection Panels. Using the Button-Fix hidden mounting system, you can achieve a seamless and secure installation without visible fasteners. Follow these steps to install your panels effectively.

Materials You Will Need:

  • Advanced Sims Faux Leather Golf Simulator Protection Panels
  • Button-Fix Mounting Kit (supplied by Advanced Sims)
  • Measuring tape
  • Pencil or chalk
  • Level
  • Drill and appropriate drill bits
  • Screwdriver or power driver
  • Spirit level
  • Step ladder (for ceiling installations)
  • Clean cloths or sponges

Step 1: Prepare Your Space

  1. Clear the Area: Remove any furniture or obstructions from the area where you will be installing the panels. Lay down drop cloths to protect the floor from dust and debris.
  2. Clean the Surface: Ensure the walls and ceiling are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Use a damp cloth to wipe down surfaces if necessary and let them dry completely.
  3. Mark the Layout: Using a measuring tape, level, and pencil or chalk, plan and mark the positions where each panel will be mounted. Start from the screen end and work outward for a balanced and even layout.

Step 2: Prepare the Panels

  1. Mark Plate Positions on Panels: Place the first panel face down on a clean, flat surface. Fix the Button-Fix plates to the back of the panel in the CNC cut locator slots.
  2. Attach Plates to Panels: Pre-drill pilot holes at the marked positions on the back of the panel. Secure the Button-Fix plates using the screws provided, ensuring they are firmly attached but not over-tightened.

Step 3: Mark Wall/ Ceiling Positions

  1. Use Markers for Alignment: Insert the Button-Fix markers into the plates on the back of the panel. These will help you transfer the exact positions to the wall or ceiling.
  2. Position and Press Panel: Carefully align the panel with the layout marks on the wall or ceiling. Gently press the panel against the surface, allowing the markers to leave light impressions on the wall or ceiling where the buttons need to be installed.

Step 4: Install Buttons on Wall/ Ceiling

  1. Attach Buttons: Drill pilot holes at the marked positions on the wall or ceiling. Secure the Button-Fix buttons using plugs and screws, ensuring they are securely fixed.

Step 5: Mount the Panels

  1. Align Panels with Buttons: Align the Button-Fix plates on the back of the panel with the buttons installed on the wall or ceiling. Starting from the bottom or one edge, carefully press the panel against the surface until you hear a ‘click’, indicating the plates have securely engaged with the buttons.
  2. Check Alignment: Use a spirit level to ensure the panel is level and correctly positioned. Adjust slightly if necessary before securing the panel completely.

Step 6: Continue Installation

  1. Repeat for Additional Panels: Repeat the process of attaching plates to the panels and marking, aligning, and pressing them into place for each subsequent panel. Ensure each panel is aligned with the previous ones to maintain a consistent and seamless appearance.

Step 7: Finishing Touches

  1. Inspect the Installation: Once all panels are installed, inspect them to ensure they are securely mounted and evenly aligned. Make any necessary adjustments.
  2. Clean Up: Remove any installation marks or dust from the panels and surrounding area with a clean cloth. Clean up your workspace and remove any protective coverings from the floor and furniture.

Tips for a Successful Installation:

  • Double-Check Measurements: Accurate marking and measurement are crucial for a seamless installation, especially with the hidden mounting system.
  • Use Appropriate Tools: Ensure you have the right drill bits and anchors for your wall or ceiling material.
  • Seek Assistance: For larger panels, having a second person to help align and press the panels into place can be very beneficial.
  • Wear Protective Gear: Use gloves and safety glasses to protect yourself from sharp tools and debris.
