Troubleshooting
Panel joint not locking securely
Check for any debris or damage on the locking edges. Ensure panels are aligned correctly before attempting to join them. Verify that the wall substrate is plumb and level.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Follow manufacturer guidelines for cutting (if required) and securing panels to the wall. Adhesives and fixings should be suitable for panel installation and the specific wall type.
