Acclimatize panels to room temperature for at least 24 hours before installation
Panels are best cut with a masonry blade, or a fine-tooth blade installed in the reverse direction. Use tin snips to cut trim and avoid fully closing the blades while cutting for best results
Don’t overtighten screws to allow for expansion and contraction of panels and maintain a 1/4″ clearance between the ends of each panel and any adjacent trims. Panels should be able to slide up and down slightly once fastened
The final panel of a wall or ceiling area may need to be trimmed (ripped) to fit
Use a putty knife to help panel edges fit into any adjacent trim

Trim out the ceiling area. Cut your trim to length and install around the entire ceiling perimeter.
Install panels perpendicular to the joist direction. Start by sliding the tongue edge of the first panel into the J Trim, leaving the screw flange exposed. Fasten the panel through the screw flange at each joist.
Continue installing the remaining Wall&CeilingBoard panels. If your ceiling dimensions exceed the longest available panel length of 20′, use H Channel SnapIn Trim to join panel sections.

If using J Trim for wall corners, install J Trim before any panels. Install wall panel trim in the corners of the room, at the top and base of each wall, and around any openings like windows or doors.
Depending on the dimensions and design of your space, panels may need to be cut to length. Vertically insert the first panel into the top, bottom, and corner trim pieces, then use a level to ensure straightness and fasten to the stud every 16″-24″.
Continue installing the remaining Wall&CeilingBoard panels across all desired areas, cutting/notching panels for window or door openings as appropriate. Fasten panels through the screw ftange along each stud.

Installing Trusscore SlatWall too? Great – let’s back up a step. Before installing Wall&CeilingBoard on your walls plan out and mark your intended SlatWall installation area, leaving adequate space to install the U Channel Base on the top and sides, which will accept the H Channel SnapIn Trim at the end.
Once the installation area is marked, and Wall&CeilingBoard panels are installed, cut SlatWall panels to size and install one at a time, starting from the bottom. Properly interlocked panels will have next-toinvisible seams. Fasten each panel through the screw ftange into each stud prior to installing the next panel*.
Once all panels are installed, cut H Channel Trim to size, and snap it into the U Channel Base to cover seams at the sides and top for a smooth transition from SlatWall to Wall&CeilingBoard. Add your choice of standard 3″ SlatWall accessories and enjoy your newly organized, fully upgraded space!
