FAQs

Can I install these in a bathroom?

These panels are moisture-resistant but are not suitable for wet-rooms or areas with direct water contact like shower surrounds.

What type of paint should I use?

Since the panels come pre-primed, you can use most interior-grade latex or oil-based paints for the topcoat.

Do I need nails for installation?

While grab adhesive is the primary method, some installers choose to add finishing nails for extra security, though this may require filling the nail holes before painting.

Can these be installed horizontally?

These panels are specifically designed for vertical orientation to achieve the traditional bead and butt look.

What is the distance between the grooves?

The vertical grooves are spaced consistently at 200mm intervals.

Can these panels be trimmed to fit a smaller space?

Yes, they can be easily cut using standard woodworking tools to fit your specific wall dimensions.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive not bonding to the wall

Ensure the wall surface is free of dust, grease, or peeling paint and apply adequate pressure while the adhesive cures.

Panel seams are visible

Use a wood-appropriate filler to lightly bridge the seam before applying the final coat of paint for a seamless appearance.

Difficulty in cutting to size

Use a fine-toothed hand saw or a circular saw with a guide to ensure straight, clean edges when trimming the panel height or width.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces interior prep time with pre-primed finish
  • Easy installation process using adhesive
  • Versatile design suitable for full or partial wall applications
  • Consistent 200mm groove spacing for professional aesthetics
  • Moisture-resistant for added longevity

Cons

  • Not suitable for use in wet-rooms or high-moisture zones
  • Large panel dimensions require careful handling and transport
  • Requires final paint application to complete the look

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and flat before installation. The panels are best secured using a high-quality grab adhesive applied to the back of the board. Ensure the panels are oriented with the grooves running vertically. While the material is moisture-resistant, it should not be exposed to direct water spray or high-humidity environments like shower enclosures. To maintain the panels, wipe clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the paint finish. For transitions at the top of half-height installations, consider adding a timber dado rail to finish the raw edge.
