Measure twice, cut once
Measure & Cut
Measure your available space and strategize the positioning and orientation for installing your panel.
Cut your panel to size. Perform this task on a sturdy surface to guarantee a precise and neat edge. Use a Stanley knife if the edges are within the flexible part of the panel; otherwise, employ a hand saw or electric saw.
Check your panel fits the space before moving to the next step.
Putting your panels on
Adhesive & Application
Apply Adhesive. For a secure attachment, we recommend using a PVC adhesive like Liquid Nails. Apply the adhesive in a wave pattern at consistent intervals on the back of the panel to ensure adequate coverage. If the wall surface is uneven, apply additional adhesive.
Apply your panel to the surface. apply pressure on the panel to ensure even spreading of the glue. Alternatively, use double-sided tape in multiple areas on the back of the panel to avoid the need to hold it in place for a few minutes for the glue to adhere. Remember to measure your space, plan the placement, and determine the direction for installing the panel.

Seal the edges of the corner profile with silicone before fitting your panel into the corner profile to ensure it is water-resistant.
