Tools required:
- Tape measure
- Pencil
- Adhesive
- Hammer
- Nails
Measure up from the top of the skirting board to your preferred panelling height. Mark the position and draw a horizontal line across. Check with a spirit level (Fig 1).
Measure the length of the wall. Mark and cut enough strips to run across the top of the skirting and across the horizontal line previously drawn. Apply adhesive to the backs of the strips (Fig 2).
Offer strips into position and secure with a hammer and nails (Fig 3).
To work out how many panels you require, measure the wall length and subtract the width of 1 panel strip. (Fig 4).
Example:
- Wall length = 2000mm
- Width of wall panel strip = 97mm
- 2000mm – 97mm = 1903mm
- Divide this dimension by how many panels you prefer
In this example, we are using 3 panels
- 1903mm divided by 3 = 634mm centres
- The actual distance between panel strips will be 634mm minus the width of 1 panel strip
- 634mm – 97mm = 537mm between strips
Measure the distance between the top and bottom strips and cut 4 vertical panel strips. Apply adhesive to the back of the strips. Offer 2 strips between horizontal strips, placing one of them at each end of the run. Secure with a hammer and nails (Fig 5).
Offer the remaining strips between horizontal strips and space them according to the figure worked out in Fig 4, ie 537mm between strips.
Secure with a nail gun (Fig 6).
Fill all 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.
