Installed panels are not subject to the warranty provision and the seller is not liable for defective products once installed. Contact us in the case of damaged panels. · Open and acclimatize panels for 48 hours in the installation room. · Adequate site conditions should be in place 24 hours before the installation and maintained thereafter: 55-85 degrees Fahrenheit and 50% ambient relative humidity. All work, including plastering, sanding, subflooring, and flooring, must be completed to prevent risk of humidity in the room. · The panels are not suitable for ceiling installations. Installation Methods We recommend two installation method options: 1) Glue the panels directly onto the wall, and 2) Install the panels onto a framework. Installation Method 1: Glue directly onto the wall. Tools and parts recommended. · Try square · Spirit level · Saw and miter box · Hygrometer · Hinged ruler or tape measure · Elastic polymer adhesive / glue 1. Cut panels. · If needed, cut panels to desired size using a circular saw or handsaw. Note: Account for a 0.5" clearance / expansion with the floor, ceiling, and wall when sizing and installing the panels. 2. Prepare the surface. · Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, flat, and firm. 3. Inspect and prepare panels for installation. · 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. 4. Install panels. Using an elastic polymer adhesive glue, install the panels as follows: · Apply 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, en- suring proper alignment as repositioning may be challenging. · For additional security, use a nail gun or screws to secure the panels. Note: The main component of panels is wood, a living material subject to up to a 0.1" expansion and shrinkage per running meter. Method 2: Install onto a wooden framework. Tools and parts recommended. · Steel square · Drill · Spirit level · Hammer · Saw and miter box · Chalk line · Hygrometer · Level lath · Hinged ruler or tape measure · Wooden batterns · Stapler 1. Cut panels. · If needed, cut panels to desired size using a circular saw or handsaw. Note: Account for a 0.5" clearance / expansion with the floor, ceiling, and wall when sizing and installing the panels. 2. Prepare the framework / trellis. · 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. 3. Build the framework / trellis. · After deciding the orientation, fix the battens against the wall with screws and plugs. Note: Keep battens 16" apart from center to center and use a level lath and/or level laser to make the framework level. 4. Inspect and prepare panels for installation. · 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. 5. Install panels onto the framework / trellis. 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. · For additional security, use a nail gun or screws to secure the panels. Note: The main component of panels is wood, a living material subject to up to a 0.1" expansion and shrinkage per running meter.
