Installation & Assembly

11
Installation Guide
Note: Some installations cover multiple walls at right angles. To achieve a finished look on
these corners, you will use our Inside Corner Trim. Before applying a panel to a corner, measure
the height of the inside corner. Then, cut the Inside Corner Trim in accordance with that mea-
surement and attach it to the panel.
9. After all the panels are set, attach the switch or outlet plates.
10. Caulk the bottom seam along the countertop with clear silicone or colored caulk. This will
eliminate water from getting behind the panels.
11. If the seams need to be tighter, we would recommend that you use cone head nails on the
overlapping seams. The nail points would be between the “dimples” of the nail rail.
