strip on this line. End the strip 2" from each side of the
corner.
Determine which type of wall installaon is required.

Cut the le end of the rst panel so that the panel will sit ush against the adjoining
wall. Aach to the wall through the screw indicator marks on the top and right end
tongues. Firmly press the next panel against the rst panel and repeat aachment
process across the wall. Cut the right end of the nal panel in the course ush to the
wall. Use the drop o from that panel to start the new row. Stagger the joints of the

to prevent panel ends from lining up vercally.
Paneling a wall with one outside corner on the right.
Dry t the rst corner into the starter strip. Secure with
screws if necessary. Moving from right to le: dry t panels
ghtly across the wall. Cut the le end of the nal panel to
