Troubleshooting
Timber bowing or warping
Ensure the boards have fully acclimated to the room humidity before installation and check that the supporting battens are perfectly level.
Tongue and groove not fitting flush
Check for debris or dust in the groove and ensure the board is not being forced at an angle. Use a soft rubber mallet to gently tap it into place.
Splintering during cutting
Use a fine-tooth blade on your saw and consider applying masking tape over the cutting line to minimize wood tear-out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a successful installation, follow these steps:
Acclimation: Store the timber in the room where it will be installed for at least 48 hours to allow the moisture content to stabilize.
Preparation: Ensure the mounting surface is flat, dry, and clean. Use timber battens if installing over uneven masonry.
Installation: Use the tongue and groove system to interlock pieces. Secure to the wall using panel adhesive or finishing nails, ensuring you hide fixings where possible.
Care: Clean the wood periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may strip the finish, and address any scratches by lightly sanding and applying a matching wood oil or varnish.
