FAQs
What tools do I need for installation?
You will need a spirit level, a measuring tape, a pencil, a hand saw for trimming, and a high-strength grab adhesive.
Can I install these in a bathroom?
Yes, they are suitable for bathrooms, provided you seal all edges and joints thoroughly with moisture-resistant sealant before painting.
Do I need to prime the panels?
Yes, we recommend applying a good quality wood primer before your final paint coat to ensure an even finish.
How do I cut the panels to fit?
The panels can be cut using a standard fine-tooth wood saw or a jigsaw for precision if required.
Is the finish already painted?
No, the panels arrive in a raw state, ready for you to prime and paint in the color of your choice.
Can this be installed over existing wallpaper?
It is highly recommended to remove any loose wallpaper or paint back to the plaster for the strongest adhesive bond.
Troubleshooting
Panel not adhering to the wall
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust. If the wall is uneven, use a high-tack grab adhesive specifically designed for mounting panels.
Visible gaps between panels
Use a flexible paintable caulk or wood filler to bridge the gap, then sand smooth before applying your final coat of paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation begins by ensuring your wall is dry and free of debris. Use a high-quality grab adhesive on the back of each panel, pressing firmly against the wall. The panels can be trimmed with standard woodworking tools if you need to adjust for corners or shorter wall lengths. Once installed, caulk any small gaps between the wall and panels to create a seamless transition. For care, keep the panels clean by wiping them with a soft, dry cloth. If you have installed the panels in a bathroom or kitchen, ensure all edges are thoroughly sealed with paint or a dedicated sealant to prevent water ingress.
