Horizontal Accent Wall Install Instructions (cont’d)
9. Drive a brad nail into each plank at each wall stud through the shallow area of the extended groove (see inset diagram). Take
care that the brad nail heads are not raised, but also don’t force them all the way through the groove. This will allow easy con-
nection of the next row of planks. You must also place drywall screws every 16" into the wall studs or sill plate along the bottom
edge of the rst row of planks where they will be covered by the wall base. (Figure 4)
10. Start the second row from the right side. Cut and glue with silicone adhesive caulk the rst plank. Fit plank by angling tongue
into groove and wiggle into place. Use tapping block as needed. Drive a brad nail into each plank through the shallow area of
the extended groove at each wall stud. (Figure 5)
NOTE: A joint “stagger” of 8 to 12 inches looks most natural. Avoid allowing plank ends to align.
11. Plank 2 of row 2 (and each plank thereafter in row 2) will be modied by removing the short end tongue. Score the tongue with
a utility knife 3 – 4 times to remove. You will now have a square end. (Figure 6)
12. Apply silicone adhesive caulk in an “S” pattern and install modied boards by tilting into place. Tighten joints as needed with a
tapping block or pull bar. Drive a brad nail into each plank through the shallow area of the extended groove at each wall stud.
