Installation Guide

1. Surface Preparation

Ensure the installation surface is clean, dry, smooth, and structurally sound. Remove any loose paint, wallpaper, or debris. A flat, even surface is crucial for proper adhesion and a seamless finish.

2. Planning and Measurement

Measure the area where the panels will be installed. Plan the layout to minimize cuts and ensure a balanced appearance. Consider starting from a central point or a prominent corner.

3. Applying Adhesive

Apply a strong construction adhesive to the back of each panel in a serpentine pattern. Ensure adequate coverage, especially along the edges, to secure the panel firmly to the wall.

4. Panel Attachment

Carefully align the first panel and press it firmly onto the prepared surface. Use the shiplap system to interlock subsequent panels, ensuring a tight and seamless fit. Apply consistent pressure across the entire panel surface to ensure good adhesion.

5. Cutting Panels

For custom fits around corners, outlets, or at the end of a wall, use a circular saw to cut the panels. Measure accurately and mark the cut line before cutting. A utility knife can be used for minor adjustments or scoring.

6. Corner Installation

When installing around corners, ensure a clean 90-degree angle. Panels can be mitered or butted together, depending on the desired aesthetic. Ensure the interlocking system is maintained for a secure fit.
