Instructions / Assembly

ere are two corner options
to use with the full 4’ x 8’  panels
which are “keyed” corners and
“keyless” corners (Typically the
wainscot panels only have the key-
less corners available). Most people
prefer the “Key Corners” since they
provide the most natural transition
and will work if there is a break in
the system (like a door or a bump
out). If there are no breaks in the
project, then it is best to start and
end with a “keyless corner”.
See section 2.2 for the details of
the corners.
2.1 Start The Installation With The Corners
2.2 Screwing & Gluing
e process of attaching panels to the wall structure is a combination of using screws
and using adhesive where the panels connect together. Screws are installed around the
perimeter and in the grout lines within the panels. Adhesive is applied between the keys
and shiplap joint.
• See Section 3.0 for Screwing Recommendations
Adhesive or the supplied polyurethane sealant is to be applied to the tongue as the pan-
els are installed. This reduces/eliminates shrinkage.
Step 1.
Add screws through
tongue when possible
Step 2.
Add adhesive or approved polyure-
thane caulk on tongue.
Step 3.
Add screws through keys
IMPORTANT
It is Acceptable to use a nail gun to install
the panels but ONLY on interior applications
and when the substrate that panel is being
attached to is OSB or plywood. It is also
reccomended to use in glue in addition to
nailing the panels especially at the ship lap/
interlocking keys
