INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS PRE-PAINTED WALLS 1 1) The panels must be allowed to acclimatise in the packaging at room temperature for 2 days, and installed immediately after the packaging has been opened. The panels must be installed on timber battens at intervals of c/c 600 mm. The ceiling is usually ready panelled. Begin installing from the left corner. 4 4) Install the panels 10 mm from the floor/ceiling - place 2 blocks under the wall panel to facilitate installation. 7 7) Insert the tongue side of the panel into the groove. 10 10) Cut the final panel to the next corner to size. Nail the panel open in the corner. This will be concealed by the 1st panel on the next wall. Don’t forget the punch. Staples and screws can also be used (see also inst.instr. M004-01-04). 2 2) Cut the 1st panel to size. When cutting with a circular saw, the painted side must be facing down. 5 5) Nail spacing is c/c 150 mm. To prevent damage to the panel, a punch should be used when nailing to the final studding. In the corner, the exposed nailing in the panel will be concealed by the final panel to be installed. Staples and screws can also be used. 8 8) This provides a hidden joint that doesn’t require glueing. 11 11) Cut the 1st panel in the next row to size. Corner clips should be used for concealed nailing in internal corners. Tap the corner clips right into the panel. Use 3 clips per panel height as well as one nail at the top and one nail at the bottom in the left corner of the panel. The nails will be concealed by the floor and ceiling mouldings. 3 3) Use a spirit level to ensure that the panels are properly installed.. 6 6) The joints must not be glued. The next panel is put in place. The wall panels come with tongue and groove and vjoints for concealed nailing. 9 9) Cut the final panel to the next corner to size. When cutting with a circular saw, the painted side must be facing down. 12 12) Place the panel securely into the corner and tap into place at each corner clip
