Troubleshooting
Panel seams are not locking correctly
Check that the tongue and groove channels are free of debris and ensure the panel is perfectly level before pressing into place.
Panel surface looks uneven
Verify that the mounting substrate is flat. If the wall is wavy, you may need to install wooden or metal battens before panel application.
Adhesive failing to bond
Ensure the surface is free of dust, grease, and moisture before application. Use an adhesive specifically recommended for PVC cladding.
