Can I install faux siding directly over 2x4 without backing? No, we do not recommend this. The panels
should be installed on flat, clean surface for best results. Installing drywall, plywood or other similar
products would provide the necessary backing support.
Can I install the faux siding as a kitchen backsplash? Absolutely, this sill transform your kitchen!
Can I install panels in my pool or jacuzzi? The panels can be installed near or around a pool or jacuzzi;
however, it should not come in continues direct contact with chlorine water. Chlorine water will not
affect the panels, but it will cause the stain to fade quicker than it should. Chlorine exposure does void
the warranty.
Can I still hang pictures on an accent wall with faux siding on it? Yes pictures, floating shelves and
brackets can be installed against the panels. You will need to drill a small whole through the panel into
the backing board (typically drywall) insert a drywall anchor into the wall and then use an extend screw
to hold the picture, shelve of etc.
What type of screws should I use? We recommend course thread screws for indoor installations and
exterior grade screws for the outdoors. Failure to use exterior grade screws outdoors may cause rusting
stains and ultimately installation failure over time.
What glue (adhesive) should I use on the Faux Siding? We recommend Enterfoam or PL Premium. We
do not recommend Liquid Nails. If you are using another adhesive, make sure that it is compatible with
polyurethane prior to use.
Do I need to pre-drill the wholes for the screws? For indoor applications this typically isn’t necessary, if
you are going into concrete block then you should.
Can I install the panels in the shower?: Yes, the panels can be installed in a shower, but a few
additional steps are needed. The panels need to have a bead of silicone placed around the entire
perimeter of the panel. This will prevent water from getting behind the panel and causing mold to grow.
Secondly we recommend applying a clear coat of Polyurethane, which can be purchased at any large DIY
store. This will create a small barrio between the stain and evitable soap build up that will occur. This
will help protect the finish and extend the life of the stain in this applications.
