Installation Instructions:

Prepare the wall: Prior to installing mouldings ensure walls are

clean, flat, dry, and free of grease or dust.

Cut the panels: Cut quickly to avoid melting and achieving a

clean cut. A blade with 60 teeth or more is recommended. Cut ¼”

longer when filling a gap.

If gluing the panels:

 Apply a continuous ¼” bead of heavy duty construction

adhesive along the back grooves or edges of the base

moulding.
