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).
