FAQs

Is this board suitable for high-moisture areas like bathrooms?

While durable, this board is not specifically designed for high-moisture environments. For bathrooms or kitchens, consider moisture-resistant alternatives or ensure adequate ventilation and a robust, waterproof paint finish.

What type of paint should I use?

You can use most interior paints, including emulsion, eggshell, or satin finishes. For best results, ensure the primer is fully dry and consider a paint designed for trim or furniture for enhanced durability.

Can I paint it a dark colour?

Yes, you can paint it any colour. Dark colours may require more coats of paint to achieve full coverage over the white primer.

How many boards do I need for a wall?

This depends on the dimensions of your wall and the design you wish to create. Measure your wall height and width, and then calculate how many 1220mm length boards are needed, factoring in any design gaps or overlaps.

Does it come in other colours?

This specific product is described as white primed. You will need to paint it your desired colour after installation.

What is the thickness of the board?

The board has a thickness of 15mm.

Troubleshooting

Boards do not sit flush against the wall.

Ensure the wall surface is flat and free from obstructions. Use a spirit level to check for wall imperfections and adjust fixings accordingly. Apply adhesive evenly.

Visible seams between boards are uneven.

Carefully measure and cut each board to ensure precise lengths. Use a fine-tooth saw for clean, straight edges. Apply a small bead of filler or caulk along seams before painting if minor gaps persist.

Paint finish is not smooth.

Ensure the pre-primed surface is clean and free from dust before painting. Use a high-quality primer if desired, and apply thin, even coats of your chosen paint. Lightly sand between coats for an ultra-smooth finish.

Boards are difficult to cut cleanly.

Use a sharp, fine-tooth saw blade designed for MDF or wood. Cut slowly and steadily to avoid chipping or splintering the edges. A mitre saw can provide very accurate and clean cuts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a smooth, high-end finish without the imperfections of natural wood.
  • Pre-primed surface reduces preparation time before painting.
  • Consistent size and quality across boards simplify installation.
  • Offers flexibility in creating various modern wall panel designs.
  • Durable and resistant to common timber issues like knots and splintering.

Cons

  • Requires cutting to fit specific wall lengths and heights.
  • May need multiple boards to cover large wall areas, potentially increasing the number of visible seams.
  • Primed finish requires a top coat of paint for full protection and desired aesthetics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before installation, ensure the boards are acclimatized to the room's environment for 24-48 hours. Measure and cut boards to the desired lengths using a fine-tooth saw for clean cuts. Boards can be fixed to the wall using a suitable adhesive and/or nails. Ensure a level and plumb installation for the best aesthetic result.

Compatibility: This panelling board is designed for interior use. It is compatible with most standard wall adhesives and finishing paints. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and sound before applying.

Care: Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture. Once painted with a suitable topcoat, the surface will be more resilient to general wear and tear. Regularly check for any loose fixings.
