And the best part? The transformation is easy to do and only takes a couple of hours.

Sarah & Justin’s nightmare experience with cheap imitation panels
Three years ago, Sarah & Justin set out to upgrade their home.
They wanted that rich, luxurious feel. The kind you see in high-end hotels and multi-million-dollar homes.
So, like most homeowners, they started searching online.
That’s when they found it.
A paneling product that looked stunning in the photos. The price? Almost too good to be true.
It promised everything they wanted. Elegance, luxury, an easy install.
Excitedly, they placed their order.
The day their panels arrived, they wasted no time. They installed them, stepped back, and admired their new walls.
For the first few weeks, it was perfect. Friends complimented their space. They felt proud of their home.
But then… the problems started.
Sarah remembers the exact moment the regret set in.
A friend leaned against the wall. Just a little pressure, and they heard a light cracking sound.
Sarah’s heart dropped.
When they took a closer look, they saw them.
Hairline cracks running through the veneer.
“Maybe it’s just a one-off,” they told themselves.
But then they started noticing faded patches where the sun hit the wall.
On closer inspection, with a now tainted view of their panels they realised that they were never that high quality to begin with.
The panels didn’t feel luxury anymore. The finish that once seemed flawless now felt cheap. Sarah & Justin had spent their hard-earned money on an upgrade that was now falling apart.
Sarah said that at this point she wanted the panels off the wall as soon as possible.
What was meant to be a dream home transformation had turned into an expensive disappointment.
That’s when they found Acupanel® by The Wood Veneer Hub.
They weren’t going to make the same mistake twice.
This time, they did their research. They spent months weighing up which product they could use to get the result they wanted.
Nine sample boxes from seven different companies later, they landed on Acupanel®.
After an email and phone call exchange with Gabby in customer service here at The Wood Veneer Hub office in Christchurch, Justin placed the order.
Four days later their new panels arrived.
They installed it in a couple of hours in the weekend. This was two years ago.
And now?
- Their home gets compliments every time someone new walks in.
- Two years later, it still looks flawless.
- No cracks, no fading, no peeling.
- Luxury that lasts.
Sarah and Justin have encouraged us to share their story because they don't want others to make the same mistake they did.
They learned their lesson so you don’t have to.
Don't make the same mistake they did. Make sure you’re getting the real thing.

How to transform your space in just two hours.
No contractors, no complicated tools, just a simple installation process.
Meet Grace. She’s 28,
and has never picked up a power drill in her life. Last weekend, she installed an Acupanel® feature wall by herself.
She says that her friends didn’t believe her. But when they came over, they wanted to know how she did it.
Grace is now the go-to DIY guru in her cycling club.
And if she can do it, you can too.
Here’s how simple it is:
Step 1: Measure Your Wall
• Grab a tape measure.
• Measure the height and width of your space and note them down.
• That’s it, you’re done with Step 1.
Step 2: Cut Your Panels (If Needed)
• If your wall is a standard height, you may be able to skip this step entirely depending on your skirting height.
• Need to trim them? Use a fine-tooth hand saw saw, circular saw or track saw for a clean cut.
• Sand the cut edges lightly (takes 20-30 seconds).
Step 3: Apply Adhesive (Or Use Screws)
• Most people use construction adhesive (like Liquid Nails). Just apply it in a zig-zag pattern on the back of the panel.
• Prefer screws? Use black screws for a seamless, invisible finish.
Step 4: Stick It to the Wall & Press Firmly
• Align the panel with your wall.
• Press firmly. That’s it, your first panel is done.
• Rinse and repeat for the rest of the wall.
Step 5: Step Back & Admire Your Work
• Your space is now completely transformed.
• Grace did it in two hours. You can too.
Secret Tip: The painter’s tape trick for a perfectly aligned, pro-level installation with zero stress?
Some people start installing without a clear visual guide, leading to slight misalignments that become noticeable once the wall is finished.
Here’s the easiest way to get it right from the start: Before installing, use painter’s tape or paper tape to outline exactly where your panels will go on the wall.
Then, mark the final edge so you know where you’re finishing and can adjust in advance if needed.
Once you have your first panel lined up against the tape, simply remove the tape and continue.
Even DIY beginners swear by this hack. Now you know the secret.
No mess. No stress.
And in just a few hours, your home will look like a designer space.
People are installing Acupanel® and sharing their transformations everywhere. On Instagram, in home decor groups, and even with their neighbours (who immediately want their own).
If you’re seeing this, as of today, we still have stock in most of our options.
Once we sell out, restocking can take weeks This is because we don't cut corners on labour or materials. That means sourcing the highest-quality materials from the finest forests on earth, working with master craftsmen, and refusing to compromise on the standards that set us apart.
Don’t wait. Grab yours now before the next wave of orders wipes out our inventory again.
