Method 1: Glue Directly onto the Wall
Inspect panels carefully for any manufacturing defects as such panels should not be installed. Only non-installed panels with visible defects are subject to the warranty provision. Select the panels from different packages at random to accommodate small differences in shade and color.
Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, flat, and firm. If applicable, dismantle outer housings of sockets and contacts.
To customize your panel sizing, measure the area and the panels to your desired length, allowing for a 0.5” clearance for expansion at the floor, ceiling, and wall. Once you've made your measurements, cut the panels using either a circular saw or a handsaw, and drill out holes for lighting.
Apply an elastic polymer adhesive glue to the back side of the first panel and use a spirit level to ensure straightness. Place the panel in the desired location and press firmly. Proceed to install remaining panels in the same manner, ensuring proper alignment as repositioning may be challenging. Note: The main component of panels is wood, a living material subject to up to a 0.1” expansion and shrinkage per running meter.
For additional security, use a nail gun or screws to secure the panels.
Method 2: Install onto a Wooden Framework
Inspect panels carefully for any manufacturing defects as such panels should not be installed. Only non-installed panels with visible defects are subject to the warranty provision. Select the panels from different packages at random to accommodate small differences in shade and color.
Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, flat, and firm. If applicable, dismantle outer housings of sockets and contacts.
Determine whether you want to install the panels vertically or
horizontally.
For vertical installations, wooden battens should be installed
horizontally, whereas for horizontal installations, wooden
battens should be installed vertically. After deciding the orientation, fix the battens against the wall
with screws and plugs, keeping battens 16” apart from center to center and use a level
lath and/or level laser to make the framework level.
To customize your panel sizing, measure the area and the panels to your desired length, making sure to allow for a 0.5” clearance for expansion at the floor, ceiling, and wall. Once you've made your measurements, cut the panels using either a circular saw or a handsaw and drill out holes for lighting.
Using a stapler, install the panels as follows. Use a spirit level to ensure the first panel is straight. Adjust the gun pressure to ensure the staples don’t shoot through the MDF. Using staples of at least 0.5”, install panels by shooting staples into the lip or edge with a staple gun held at an oblique angle. Note: The main component of panels is wood, a living material subject to up to a 0.1” expansion and shrinkage per running meter.
For additional security, use a nail gun or screws to secure the panels.
