Decide on whether you intend to panel the full wall or just part way up. This example will cover a part-way-up installation.

Measure the length of the wall to be panelled (Fig 1). Measure the width of the panel strip and subtract it from the wall length.

Example:

- Wall length = 2000mm
- Panel strip width = 63mm
- 2000mm minus 63mm = 1937mm
- Divide this measurement by the 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 the actual distance between panel strips, simply subtract the width of 1 panel strip from 484mm = 421mm.

Now we know the 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 the distance between the top of the skirting and the ceiling and subtract the width of 1 panel strip from the 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 the actual distance between panel strips, simply subtract the width of 1 panel strip from 457mm = 394mm.

Follow procedure below
- Draw the layout onto the wall using a straight edge and spirit level (Fig 2). Starting with horizontal lines, measure up 63mm mark and draw
the line then measure up 421mm, mark and draw the line. Repeat until all strips have been drawn. Repeat the procedure for vertical lines.

 

 

Now the layout of the strips has 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 a hammer and nails (Fig 3).

 

 

Repeat until all strips have been installed (Fig 4). Fill any gaps and joints with a decorator's caulk. Wipe off any excess with a damp cloth. Sand to a smooth finish.

 

 

You are now ready to paint.
