FAQs
How many kits do I need?
Each kit covers approximately 1.2m². Measure your wall area (length x height) to calculate the total square meters needed. Divide the total area by 1.2 to find the number of kits required.
What tools do I need?
You'll need a measuring tape, level, saw (if cutting is required), adhesive, nails or screws, a hammer or screwdriver, a pencil, and safety glasses.
Can I paint the panels?
Yes, the MDF panels are designed to be painted. Prime the panels before painting for the best results and apply the paint color of your choice.
How do I cut the panels?
Use a fine-tooth saw to cut the panels. Measure and mark the cut lines accurately before sawing. A mitre saw will make clean angled cuts.
What type of adhesive should I use?
Use a construction adhesive suitable for MDF and the wall surface. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for application.
Can I install the panels in a bathroom?
While MDF can be used in bathrooms, ensure proper sealing and ventilation to prevent moisture damage. Consider using a moisture-resistant primer and paint.
What if my walls are not perfectly straight?
Minor imperfections can be addressed during installation. Use shims behind the panels if needed to level them. Larger issues may require professional help.
Troubleshooting
Panels are not adhering properly.
Ensure the wall surface is clean and dry. Use an appropriate adhesive and apply firm pressure during installation. Check that the correct type of adhesive is being used for MDF.
Gaps are visible between panels.
Ensure accurate measurements and alignment during installation. Use a fine filler to fill any small gaps and sand smooth after drying.
Panels are uneven.
Use a level to ensure the panels are straight during installation. Check that the wall surface is reasonably flat or shim where needed.
