FAQs
Can I use these panels in a bathroom?
These panels are designed for standard interior spaces like bedrooms and lounges. Using them in high-humidity areas like bathrooms is not recommended unless properly sealed and treated for moisture.
Does the kit come with adhesive?
No, the kit contains the wooden components only. You will need to purchase a suitable grab adhesive or mechanical fixings separately.
Can I cut the panels to fit a shorter wall?
Yes, the panels can be cut to size using standard wood-cutting tools like a hand saw or a circular saw to fit your specific wall height requirements.
Do I need to paint the panels?
While it depends on the finish of the kit, most users prefer to prime and paint the panels to match their decor or to provide a durable, wipeable surface.
What tools are needed for installation?
You will generally need a spirit level, tape measure, pencil, hand saw, grab adhesive, a caulking gun, and potentially sandpaper for smoothing edges.
Troubleshooting
Panels are not sticking to the wall
Ensure the wall is free from dust, grease, or peeling paint and that you are using a high-tack grab adhesive specifically recommended for wood-to-wall applications.
Gaps appearing between panels
Double-check your measurements before cutting. Use a thin bead of decorator's caulk to fill small gaps before painting to achieve a seamless, integrated look.
Panels look uneven
Use a long spirit level to mark your vertical and horizontal guidelines on the wall before fixing the first piece to ensure the entire grid remains plumb.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the kit involves marking the desired layout on the wall, cutting components if necessary to meet specific room height requirements, and securing them using a strong grab adhesive or appropriate wall fixings. Compatibility is high for most interior wall surfaces including plasterboard and flat plaster, provided the adhesive is suitable for the substrate.
For care, the panels should be kept in a dry environment until installation to prevent moisture absorption. Once installed, the surface is low-maintenance; simply dust regularly with a dry cloth. If the panels are painted, wipe them down with a slightly damp cloth to remove any accidental scuffs, ensuring you do not soak the wood, as excessive moisture can lead to swelling or paint degradation over time.
