🧰 Tools & Materials Checklist
Essential Tools:

🔁 Step-by-Step Installation Guide
1. Wall Prep (Critical for Textures)
- **Clean:** Degrease with Witop PrepWash™
- **Level:** Fill gaps >1/8" with leveling compound
- **Prime:** Use grip-enhancing primer for heavy textures Skip this → 80% of texture alignment failures
2. Pattern Planning
- **Directional Textures:** Run wood grains vertically → height illusion
- **3D Panels:** Start from light source → shadow consistency
- **Brick/Stone:** Dry-fit → avoid small cuts at eye level 3. Cutting Techniques
| Texture Type | Blade | Technique |
|---|---|---|
| WPC Wood | 80-tooth TCT | Cut face-up to prevent tear |
| PU Stone | Diamond-grit blade | Score-and-snap method |
| 3D PVC | Fine-tooth jigsaw | Support backside with foam |

3. **Seam alignment:**
- Wood grains: Match grain direction at joints
- 3D panels: Use ClipLock tabs for height matching
4. **Gap control:** Insert 0.5mm spacers every 24" 6. Sealing Textures
- Deep Grooves: Inject silicone with needle applicator
- Porous Surfaces: Apply Witop TextureSeal™ penetrating guard

→ Slight texture variations between lots - Wrong Cleaning Method:
→ Never pressure-wash interior textures - Sealing Before Cure:
→ Wait 72 hrs before applying protectants

- Stagger joints in 1/3 pattern → never stack seams
- Directional Textures:
- Mark arrows on panel backs for consistency
- 3D Panel Transitions:
- Use Witop’s Transition Strips between patterns
