This instruction sheet describes the proper methods for installing Eucatex decorative wall
paneling.
Eucaboard / Eucaplac/ Eucatile paneling is intended for dry interior use only and requires care in
handling.
Eucatex prefinished paneling is suitable for normal dry interior use environments. Eucatex
prefinished paneling should not be used in environments where an accumulation of grease,
smoke, or other surface contaminants will require frequent cleaning to remove accumulations.

Conditioning Panels
Condition panels by placing them in the room to be paneled 48 hours prior to installation. Stack the panels on the
floor or lean them against a wall, with spacers between each sheet. This allows the room air to circulate around each
panel for proper acclimation.
Wall Preparation
Installing paneling over existing true walls requires no preliminary preparation. Sanding high spots on the wall is
generally about all you have to do.
Panels of thickness of 1/8” and 3/16” must be applied to solid walls only.
Installing panels of thickness 3/16 or higher may be installed directly to stud frame or below grade. It is necessary
to have a solid insulated exterior wall and 4-mil or greater polyethylene vapor barrier behind the
studs.
Always check your building code. Panels are Class III fire rated and most panels are only allowed to be installed over a
solid wall under most building codes.
Panels cannot be used as ceilings. Product is not designed for this use and warranty will be voided.
