Instructions / Assembly
Read carefully before application. Thank you for purchasing one of our TIMELINE Oak Shiplap products.
ACCLIMATION:
Because this is real wood, there are certain application instructions that you should follow. You MUST acclimate the wood to the environment to which
it will be applied. Open the packages and spread the boards out in the room where it will be installed. This process should be at least 72 hours or
longer if possible. This product is not recommended for use in high humidity areas.
There are a variety of ways that this product can be applied. Here is an overview:
NAILING:
Each panel is easy-to-install with a pneumatic brad nailer or micro nailer. Brad nailers use 18 gauge nails that have low visibility while micro nailers
use 24 gauge nails. When nailing over a substrate such as drywall, you should purchase a brad nail that will penetrate the thickness of the shiplap,
drywall, and then into a framing stud if you are not using panel adhesive on the back. If you can’t nail into a framing stud, this is where panel adhesive
helps is necessary.
PANEL ADHESIVE:
Our shiplap products can be applied over 1/2” shearing gypsum, drywall, or any wood paneling with a wood paneling adhesive. Follow the adhesive
manufacturer’s suggested instructions in regards to the proper application of the adhesive. Apply a zig-zag bead of panel adhesive on the back of the
board. Apply the board to the wall and hold until it is set, or for faster installation, use a nail to hold it while the panel adhesive dries. The shiplap edge
will overlap and over up the nail holes if you only nail into the tongue portion.
HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION:
Begin in one corner of the floor and install your first panel using a level. This ensures your paneling will be level. Install the first board leaving 1/4”
space between the floor and the board for expansion. If you are nailing, you can nail into the tongue portion of the board so the next board overlaps
and covers the nail hole. This helps limit the need for nails on the face of each board.
VERTICAL INSTALLATION:
Begin in one corner of the floor and install your first panel using a level. This ensures your paneling will be level. Install the first board leaving 1/4”
space between the floor and the board for expansion. If you are nailing, you can nail into the tongue portion of the board so the next board overlaps
and covers the nail hole. This helps limit the need for nails on the face of each board.
TOUCH-UP PAINT& TRIM OPTIONS:
We have matching touch-up paint for each of our colors that works perfect for small nicks or any mistakes made while cutting. We also have several
trim options available for all your installation needs. Please visit timelinewood.com.
CARE & USE:
For our products that are pre-painted, use a smooth rag with water and lightly wipe boards to clean minor spills, . If you need to clean a spill that has
dried, use mild soap and water. Do not use oil-based cleaning supplies or wipe aggressively. For products that are unfinished/raw lumber, do not use
water or any cleaning materials for spills. Products that are unfinished require a finish to be applied before cleaning spills. We recommend inspecting
each board before applying a finish in case a light sanding is needed.
