Our maximum panel length for our courier is 1800mm.

How to Install Wood Panelling
The technical view of our visualiser (at the top of this page) will show you which measurements you need between each batten based on your input. Make sure to note down these measurements when ordering the kit so that you know how far apart you should be marking the measurements when it comes to installing it.
Step 1: Organise
Lay out the MDF wall panels on the floor and group them based on size.
Step 2: Stencil
Using a pencil mark where the MDF wall panels need to be positioned on the wall. You can use the measurements provided in the 'Technical View' of our visualiser for spacing.
Step 3: Stick
Apply a thin layer of adhesive on your MDF wall panels and stick to the walls where you have previously marked them.
Step 4: Level
Use a spirit level to make sure the MDF wall panel pieces are aligned correctly and fix until level. Wait to dry.
Step 5: Fill
Once dry, use wall filler to fill any gaps between the strips. If you've measured well, the gaps should be small.
Step 6: Caulk
Caulk around all edges of the MDF wall panels making sure to smooth evenly with a clean slightly wet finger or application tool. Once this is done, wait until dry.
Step 7: Prep
Prep the panelling for painting by sanding the joins which you've filled with filler. This helps the paint adhere and makes the join seamless and flat.
Step 8: Prime
Apply the wood primer evenly and wait to dry. You can skip this step if you chose for us to apply the priming for you.
Step 9: Paint
Paint the panels and wall with your chosen colour. We're loving deep greens at the moment, like Farrow & Ball's Green Smoke as shown in the visualiser.
Step 10: Enjoy!
Finally, you're free to tidy up and furnish your newly decorated room!
