Please check all components carefully PRIOR to installation for any damage to the surface, as Richard Burbidge cannot be held responsible for any damage once installation has commenced.

It is important to ensure that the wall/surface you intend to apply the panels to is suitably prepared, make sure the surface is sound and secure.  Please note - the panels are primed on all faces with or water-based primer that leaves the perfect surface for your final finish.  Please choose the correct adhesive for these surfaces.

STEP 1 - MEASURE AND PLAN

Measure and plan.  You can sketch out your design on paper.  As a starting point, it is best to align the middle strip so it is central, the remaining pieces can then be equally spaced throughout, using tape/pencil to set out, a laser level is really helpful for this step.  Check that all T&G strips fit together well before glueing to the wall.  A rubber mallet is useful to gently ease the panels together.

STEP 2 - FIXING

Once you have worked out the position for each strip and cut (if required).  You can begin to install using a suitable wall adhesive on to the back face of each strip. A spirit level will help - make sure your timber strips are square, secure with a nail gun into place, repeat for all sections.  Use a rubber mallet to gently tap each strip together for a seamless tongue and groove look.  Fit the hockey trim after all panels have been glued to the wall.

STEP 3 - PREPARE FOR PAINTING

Fill any gaps with a suitable filler and sand, decorative caulk can be used for a smooth even finish, wait until dry.

STEP 4 - PAINT/FINISH

Depending on the finish you would like to achieve, refer to the manufacturer's guidelines re preparation and finish.

Finishing Advice

As well as polyurethane paints, there are a number of acrylic/water-based paints which are solvent free, have a low odour and are extremely quick drying.  They also have the advantage of easy brush maintenance and require only a quick rinse with water after use.
