It was so easy to put this up and I am really pleased with it.
For ease of delivery and handling, all panels in your kit are supplied in strips of 1500mm or shorter. If your wall dimensions exceed 1500mm in either direction, we'll split the strips into equal-length pieces that join together neatly at the midpoint — so you still receive exactly the right amount of MDF for your wall.
Don't worry about the joins being visible. Simply butt the pieces together, apply a little decorator's filler or caulk over the join, sand lightly once dry, and paint with the rest of your panelling as normal. Once decorated, the joins will be virtually invisible — even up close. This is the same technique used by professional joiners and decorators, and it works beautifully with MDF.

What You Will Need:
Installation Guidance
Our wall panelling strips, dado rails and beading are designed to be installed using adhesive and will sit flush when fitted to a straight, even wall.
If a wall is not perfectly straight, the strips or mouldings may be forced to follow the wall’s profile. Using adhesive alone in these situations can cause the material to bow, lift, or appear to warp. Any visible movement or gaps are most commonly caused by uneven walls, rather than an issue with the product itself.
Where walls are uneven, additional fixings are required to hold panels flat.
Choosing the Correct Fixings
If additional fixing is required due to wall unevenness, the correct method will depend on the wall type:
Brick or masonry walls
Use wall plugs and screws to pull panels or dado rails flat against the wall. Screw heads can be filled and painted over once installed.
Stud or plasterboard walls
Use panel pins or brads to secure panels while the adhesive sets. Pins can be easily filled and painted over once cured.
Always select fixings appropriate for your wall construction to ensure a secure, long-lasting finish.

Dado rails are decorative wooden trims that are installed horizontally along the wall. They are often used above Wall Panelling to create a classic, elegant look.

To maintain the appearance of your dado rails and wall panelling, it's important to keep them clean and free of dust and dirt. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the panels and rails regularly, and avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools that could damage the wood.
