Use a fine-tooth blade (12 to 16 teeth per inch) designed to cut plastic. Install the blade in the reverse direction. Move saw at a slow advance rate to avoid chipping or cracking. Clean panels of any debris before installing. Note: For all cutouts, first drill a hole in a corner of the opening.
PVC INTERLOCKING LINER PANEL Technical & Install Guide Wall Installation Continued (Wet and Controlled Environment) • Install the J-Trim pieces around the top of the wall at whatever height the PVC wall panel will be installed. At each corner, cut back the face of the J-Trim the same as the bottom J-Trim (Pictures D & E).

Make sure the last panel is cut ¼” (6mm) less than the opening width to allow for panel expansion. • If you are mounting a heavy object to the wall such as an electrical box, use plastic spacers to prevent the panel from being crushed if the screws are overtightened. • The spacer is just a little thicker than the panel.
