Our easy to follow installation guide is provided with each pack so you get the best from your decorative panels
Installation
PVC Panels are easy to install. Provided the wall surface is completely flat, you may glue/silicone the panels to the wall. If not
you can either staple, nail or screw the boards on wooden battens. In rooms with a high humidity treated wood and stainless
steel fixings should be used. Extra insulation can be installed between the battens.
1. In case you decide not to glue the panels to the wall, you start by placing wooden battens approx. every 30 cm. To install
the panels vertically, place the battens horizontally and vice versa.
2. Continue by measuring the number of panels you will need for the wall or ceiling. If the last panel is too narrow, we advise to saw the first panel so that you have at least 4 cm on either side.
3. Start by fixing the start and edge trim (no 9) around the surface you want to decorate. Insert the first panel into the trim. Make sure the first panel is placed perfectly straight (using a spiritlevel or a thread with weight) before stapling, nailing or screwing the lip
onto the batten (every 30cm). Leave about 5mm clearance between the panel and the edge trim. A fine tooth saw is
recommended for cutting the panels to size.
4. Insert the second panel completely into the groove before stapling (nailing or screwing) into the lip. Proceed in the same way with the next panels. For the finish you can also use the internal corner profile (profile no 4V), the external corner (profile no 17V) and/or the centre joint (profile no10).
