How To Install Decorative Wall Panel

Before starting, let’s get ready the tools and materials below:

  • Measuring tape
  • Cutter
  • Hacksaw
  • Marker pen
  • Ruler
  • Bonding agent
  • Caulk gun
  • Fluted panelling
  • Ladder

The first step for installing decorative wall paneling is to remove all unwanted wall plates, outlets, crown moulding, and baseboards.

The wall surface is required to be flat, clean, dry, and dust-free during installation.

Tip: For the best result, please let the paneling get acclimated to the room humidity for at least 24-72 hours before installation.

Step 1: Measurement

Next, we have to measure the height and width of the targeted wall to find its square footage to determine the sheets of fluted panelling needed.

And then divide the wall length by the width of your panel to get the number of sheets you’ll need.
