INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Decide on whether you intend to panel full wall or just part way up.
- This example will cover a part way up installation.
- Measure length of wall to be panelled (Fig 1).
- Measure width of panel strip and subtract from wall length.
Example
- Wall length = 2000mm
- Panel strip width = 63mm
- 2000mm minus 63mm = 1937mm
- Divide this measurement by number of panels preferred going across the wall. For this example we are using 4 panels across
- 1937mm divided by 4 = 484mm centres.
- To calculate actual distance between panel strips, simply subtract width of 1 panel strip from 484mm = 421mm
Now we know distance between panel strips, we can calculate how high i.e how many panels up we want. For this example we are going 3 panels up with 421mm between strips (same spacing as above).
For a full height installation, follow instructions for panels across. Then measure distance between top of skirting and ceiling and subtract width of 1 panel strip from measurement.
Example
- Top of skirting to ceiling = 2350mm minus 63mm = 2287mm
- Divide 2287 by 484 (centres of panels going across) = 4.7mm Round up to next whole number = 5 panels.
- 2287mm divided by 5 = 457mm centres
- To calculate actual distance between panel strips, simply subtract width of 1 panel strip from 457mm = 394mm. Follow procedure below
- Draw layout onto wall using straight edge and spirit level (Fig 2).
Starting with horizontal lines, measure up 63mm mark and draw line then measure up 421mm, mark and draw line. Repeat until all strips have been drawn. Repeat procedure for vertical lines.
Now the layout of the strips have been drawn, you can take your measurements for the strips off the layout. Cut all pieces. Apply adhesive to pieces to be fitted first. Offer and align to lines. Secure with nail gun (Fig 3).
Repeat until all strips have been installed (Fig 4). Fig.4 Fill any gaps and joints with decorators caulk. Wipe off any excess with a damp cloth. Sand to a smooth finish. You are now ready to paint.
