Installation Instructions

Read carefully before installation.
Tools needed
• Tape measure
• 4-foot level
• Loctite
®
PL Premium tube adhesive
• Hammer and 3d/1.25" nish nails OR
• Brad nailer
• Miter saw
• Safety goggles
Step 1
Open boxes of wood planking in the room in which it will be installed. Wood
must acclimate to the conditions of the room for a minimum of 72 hours.
Note: this product is not to be used in high-humidity areas.
Cutting the planks if necessary should be done with a miter saw. Either a
manual miter box or powered miter saw work well. Always follow
manufacturer’s directions.
Step 2
Before installation, make sure that the surface is clean, at and dry. If you
are installing over a sheetrock wall that is painted a color, we recommend
you paint the wall a similar color as the planking to be installed so the wall
color will not show through any possible seams between the planks.
Step 3
Recommended installation is with Loctite
®
PL Premium tube adhesive and to
be nailed with a brad nail gun or a hammer and nishing nails. Each plank
should have a bead of adhesive 1" from all outside edges and a single bead
applied down the center of the plank (see above picture). Recommended
brad nail length is 1 ¼". Apply brads/nails approximately ½" from outside
edges of planks and into studs when possible (see above picture). If a brad
gun is not available, use 3d x 1 ¼" nish nails along with a nail set to set the
nail head slightly below the surface of the plank. It is not recommended to
apply wood putty to the nail holes since the putty will collect in the
weathered wood grain.
Starting on the oor, draw a level line at
6" from the oor. Next, attach the rst
plank in the left corner and add
construction adhesive to the back of the
plank and nail in place (see instructions
to left). Repeat this process until you
reach the right wall cutting the pieces as
needed. Stagger the next row of planks
over the joints and cut pieces to t as
needed until you reach the ceiling.
Finally, add wood trim at the oor to
nish your installation, if desired.
Start by nding the center of the wall
and mark its location on the oor. Using
a level to make it plumb, install the rst
plank on the wall centered on the mark
with construction adhesive and nail in
place with a brad gun (see instructions
to left). Use a level to make sure it is
plumb. Next, attach planks on the left
and right of rst centered plank until you
reach the corners of both walls. The
width of the nal plank at each corner
will need to be trimmed to t.
