FAQs

What tools do I need?

You'll need a measuring tape, level, saw (if any cutting is needed), adhesive or fixings, filler, sandpaper, primer, paint, and a paintbrush or roller.

Can I use this in a bathroom?

While technically possible, it's not ideal due to the moisture-rich environment. Ensure the area is well-ventilated and sealed properly to prevent moisture damage.

How do I cut the panels?

Use a saw to cut the panels to the desired size. Always measure twice and cut once.

What type of paint should I use?

Use a paint that is suitable for wood or MDF. Acrylic paints are a good choice.

Can I install this myself?

Yes, the kit is designed for DIY installation. However, some basic DIY skills are helpful.

How do I fill the gaps?

Use a wood filler suitable for MDF. Apply the filler, let it dry, and then sand it smooth.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive not holding the panels.

Ensure you are using the correct adhesive for MDF and that the wall surface is clean. Consider using additional fixings, such as nails, while the adhesive sets.

Uneven panel alignment.

Use a level to ensure panels are straight during installation. Re-measure and adjust as necessary.

Paint not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is properly primed before painting. Use a primer specifically designed for MDF.
