Use Stauf Extreme Tack for fixing Akotherm panels. You can easily cut this product to size with a sharp (ceramic) knife. Akotherm is mounted with the soft side against the substrate so the firm side becomes the visible side. Spread the Stauf adhesive from the corners towards the centre and spread the adhesive in the middle of the panel. With sufficient adhesive, the panel will bond directly to the substrate, no struts or clamps are necessary.
