Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic carpentry tools including a spirit level, measuring tape, saw for resizing, and a strong adhesive or wall-safe nails.
- Preparation: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and flat.
- Measurement: Measure the exact height of your wall and trim the 2440mm strips if necessary.
- Application: Apply adhesive to the back of the strip or use pin nails to secure them at your chosen intervals.
- Finishing: Fill any nail holes with decorators caulk or filler, sand lightly, prime the raw MDF, and apply your top coat of paint.
Care instructions involve regular dusting with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or water-based detergents directly on the panels, as excess moisture may affect the finish over time.
