5. Setup and Installation
Proper preparation and installation are key to achieving the desired aesthetic and durability for your 3D wall panels.
5.1 Surface Preparation
- Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, smooth, and free from dust, grease, or loose paint.
- For best adhesion, a primed or painted surface is recommended.
- Measure the area to be covered and plan your panel layout before starting. This helps minimize cuts and ensures a balanced design.
5.2 Adhesive Application
These panels require a strong construction adhesive or sealant for secure attachment. (Adhesive not included).
- Apply a suitable adhesive (e.g., liquid nails, construction adhesive, or strong sealant) to the back of each panel. Focus on the raised areas and edges for maximum contact.
- Press the panel firmly onto the wall in the desired position. Apply even pressure for a few seconds to ensure good initial adhesion.
- Work in small sections, ensuring each panel is level and aligned with adjacent panels.

5.3 Cutting Panels
If necessary, panels can be cut to fit specific dimensions or around obstacles.
- Use a sharp utility knife or a fine-tooth saw for precise cuts.
- Measure and mark the cutting line clearly on the back of the panel.
- For straight cuts, use a straight edge as a guide. Score the panel several times with the utility knife before snapping it, or saw carefully along the line.

8. Troubleshooting
- Panels not adhering: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Use a high-quality construction adhesive and apply sufficient pressure during installation. Allow adequate curing time for the adhesive.
- Difficulty cutting panels: Use a new, sharp utility knife or a fine-tooth saw. Score the panel multiple times with a utility knife for a cleaner break.
- Uneven panel alignment: Plan your layout carefully before starting. Use a level to ensure each panel is installed straight. Adjust panels immediately after placement before the adhesive sets.
