How to Install Wall Panels

Procedure

  • Attach wooden bars, metal sections or plastic panels upon the target surface perpendicularly to panel mounting direction.
  • Keep the 40-50 cm distance between backing bars, if mounted upon the wall and 30-40cm if mounted upon the ceiling.
  • Use the gauge to preserve right angles and to level the surfaces.
  • Mount the fittings first: capping element (#2), inward (#3) or outward corner post (#4).
  • If panels do not adjoin the ceiling, attach the ceiling plinth to the top bar to cover the gap.
  • Insert the first panel into the fitting by fixture flange side.
  • Use gauge to make sure that the panel is perfectly aligned to target surface angle.
  • Attach the fitting flange side to the bars with nails, self-drilling screws or metal brackets.
  • Insert the second panel with its fixture flange side tightly into the leading panel’s trench. Make sure there is no gap between them. Fixate the panel.
  • Trim the trailing panel alongside by 6-8mm, from the fitting flange side relatively to the centre of the fitting element.
  • Insert it into the fitting and fix it tightly into the leading panel notch. No additional mounting required.
  • If you want to combine two panel colours, use the fitting element (#7) to join them.
  • Use extra backing in areas where shelves or cupboards are planned to be mounted.
  • In the end of installation attach the floor-level plinth to the lower backing bars(#5).

c) Gluing

  • If the wall surface is even and the premise is dry, you can mount the panels onto the walls without backing.
  • If there is unevenness in the wall surface, you will have to mount the backing bars first: wooden, plastic or metal profile.
  • If the humidity in the premise is high, use plastic or metal profile backing bars.

Ceiling Panel Installation

a) If the ceiling surface is even and the premise is dry, you can mount the panels onto the walls without backing.

b) If there is unevenness in the wall surface, or the humidity in the premise is high, you will have to mount the backing bars first.

c) Lower the ceiling by 10-15cm to provide extra isolation.

You can easily embed lightning fittings into the panel.
