✅ 6-Step Foolproof Installation
1. Prep the Wall (★ Critical!)
- Clean: Wipe with alcohol wipes (remove dust/oil)
- Repair: Fill holes/cracks → sand smooth
- Check: Use level – mark uneven spots
Skip this → boards won’t stick!
2. Find Studs (For Heavy Boards)
- Use stud finder → mark vertical lines
- For light boards (<5mm): Skip this step
3. Measure & Cut Boards
- Measure wall height/width
- Cut boards with utility knife:
- Score deeply → snap cleanly
- Leave extra 1″ on all sides
4. Peel & Stick (Watch Technique!)
A[Peel 6” backing] --> B[Align top edge]
C[Press with squeegee] --> D[Pull backing while pressing down]
- Key: Work top→bottom, left→right
5. Handle Joints & Corners
- Use gap spacers (1/8″ between boards)
- Match patterns → press seams flat
- Corners: Install corner guards
6. Seal Edges
- Apply silicone sealant:
- Around windows/doors
- Top/bottom edges
- Electrical outlets
