PVC INTERLOCKING LINER PANEL
Technical & Install Guide
• Make sure to account for expansion with J-Trim!
• If the PVC wall panel is not going to the ceiling, then
install the J-Trim ½” (12mm) above the height of the panel
to allow for
panel expansion.
• If the PVC wall panel is going to the ceiling, make sure
the panel is cut ½” (12mm) shorter than the wall height for
panel expansion.
• It is important to do a physical layout of as it may be beneficial
to have a panel seam at an obstruction or
pipe penetration.
• If the seam does not meet an obstruction, measure the
total distance and deduct the width of the panels being
used so that you do not end up with a small sliver of a
panel at one end. (Determine whether you have a
12” (300mm), 16” (400mm) or 18” (450mm) panel.)
• If you need to cut the first panel after you pre-measure,
start with the panel in the corner. The cut end should go
inside the Inside Corner Cove and in the bottom track
of the J-Trim piece.
• Use a level to vertically plumb the first panel (Picture F). This
should be done before installing each PVC panel.
• You will need to “bow” the panel slightly to get it into the top
J-Trim piece.
• Continue to install the balance of the panels with a 24” (600mm)
centerline between screws. The top and bottom screw should
start at 12” (300mm).
• If installing in a concrete or block wall, pre-drill with a
rotary hammer drill. A battery drill works well to screw the
Tapcon screws.
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).
