Troubleshooting
Board not adhering to wall
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use a stronger adhesive or additional fixings (nails/screws).
Uneven or gapped finish after installation
Check if the wall is perfectly straight. Use shims to fill small gaps behind the board. Ensure cuts are precise and meeting at corners accurately.
Paint finish is patchy or uneven
Ensure the board was adequately primed and any filler/wood filler was sanded smooth. Apply paint in thin, even coats. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Damage during cutting
Use a sharp saw blade designed for MDF. Make slow, controlled cuts to prevent chipping or splintering.
