Measure up 912mm from the top of the skirting board. This line will locate the bottom edge of the dado rail. 

 

 

Measure the length of the wall (the example shown is 2m). The panels when assembled measure 515mm wide x 690mm high (Fig 2).

3 x panels at 515mm = 1545mm.

Subtract this from wall length = 2000mm – 1545mm = 455mm. 3 panels mean 4 gaps so divide 455mm by 4 = 114mm gaps. Measure 114mm from the wall and draw a vertical line up. Then measure 515mm and mark. This can also be done using the 515mm panel strip itself. Repeat measurements and lines until all 3 panels are marked.

 

 

To mark horizontal lines which will locate the top and bottom of the panel, from the distance between the top of the skirting and the bottom of the dado which is 912mm subtract the height of panel 690mm = 222mm.

Divide this by 2 to give 111mm gaps (Fig 3).

Measure down 111mm from the dado line and draw a horizontal line across. Measure up 111mm from the top of the skirting and draw a horizontal line across. To check if correct, take a 690mm panel strip and check it fits between lines.

 

 

Apply adhesive to the back face of the dado.

 

Offer the dado rail to the wall so that the bottom edge of the dado is aligned with the dado line. Check it is level using a spirit level and secure it using a hammer and nails.

 

 

Apply a bead of adhesive to the back of the wall panel strips.

 

 

Starting at the bottom left-hand corner, offer a 515mm panel strip and a 690mm panel strip up to the corresponding lines and secure using a hammer and nails.

 

 

When installing the next 2 panel strips, nail gun the 2 ends circled in the diagram (Fig 8). This will allow you to line up the last mitre correctly. Once aligned, secure along full-lengths with the hammer and nails.

 

 

Repeat the procedure for the remaining panels (Fig 9). Fill any gaps and joints with the decorator's caulk. Wipe off any excess with a damp cloth. Sand to a smooth finish.

 

 

You are now ready to paint.
