Arrange Panels
If you have chosen simulated wood grain panels, take a few minutes to stand the panels side-by-side around the
room. Arrange them to achieve the most pleasing balance of color and grain pattern, then number the back of each
panel in sequence.
Spacing between Panels
Above Grade : Allow 1/16” thickness between panels to the left and right – along 8’ edge. Use shims to leave
1/8” at the top and bottom of the panels.
Below Grade : Allow 1/16” thickness between panels to the left and right – along 8’ edge. Use shims to leave
1/4” at the top and bottom of the panels.
DON’T butt panels tightly together TO AVOID BUCKLED PANELS
Fitting Panels
Put the first panel in place and bring to adjacent wall in the corner allowing 1/16”space. Make sure it is plumb and
both left and right panel edges fall on solid stud backing. The panel may have to be trimmed to allow the outer edge
to fall on the center of a stud for nailing. Also, on rough walls, or adjoining a fireplace wall, use a pencil compass to
mark the panel on the inner edge and then cut on the scribe line to fit around the obstruction. Before nailing the
paneling, paint a stripe of color to match the paneling groove color on the wall location where the panels will meet.
