Preperation
When your products arrive, unpack them and lay them out on the floor so you can check you have enough for your project. Store the products and adhesives at room temperature and wait 24 hours before installing
Sand down any obvious imperfections on your wall/surface and wipe down the surface after making sure it is free from dust.
Before you start fitting ensure that the walls are dry and grease free.
Mark Up
Plan out and mark up the location of where you want to fit the moulding/panelling onto the wall using a spirit level.
If you are installing a skirting board, always start with this. Always start your project from the bottom of the wall upwards.
Cutting
The material cuts just like wood, so once you have measured up, simply cut your moulding/panelling with a fresh bladed saw.
Glueing Up
Apply the DecoFix Power adhesive to the rear face of your moulding/panelling making sure to run a bead of adhesive along the length if you are using a moulding or for larger mouldings/panels all around the perimetre and a bead down the center aswell.
Fitting
Line up the moulding/panel against the wall, press firmly and remove any excess glue with a cloth or sponge.
If you are fitting items side by side make sure you are using the correct adhesive - see all adhesive products
*Make sure you leave a 1mm expansion gap around panels.
Finishing
Use the DecoFix Filler to smooth out any joints using a application gun along the joins. Use your finger or a lightly damp sponge to smooth out the filler along the join or seam. If you are using vertical wall panels run the filler along all the vertical seams and use a damp sponge to smooth the filler in an upward direction.
Wait 15 minutes and then gently sand any areas that you think need sanding a little.
Painting
Once your mouldings or panels have been installed you can paint them, either by hand or with a spray gun.
