 CUTTING AND GLUING

Gently fold the top of the sheet
down to the middle so that the
pasted sides touch. Next, fold the
bottom edge up to the middle.
This allows the paste to cure and
keep it from drying out.
The first strip of wallpaper will
line up with the last strip of
wallpaper you hang and the
pattern should match up at that
place.

to the ends.
 HANGING AND TRIMMING
Wipe the strip of wallpaper
with a clean, damp sponge to
remove any paste and
remaining air bubbles.
Use a wide-blade putty knife to hold
down the top of the wallpaper strip at
the ceiling. Use the utility knife or
straight-edge razor to trim the excess
wallpaper.
Starting at the ceiling,
carefully unfold the top half
of first piece of the
wallpaper and gently place
the side edge of the strip
along the measured line.
When the strip is in the right position,
drop down the bottom half and gently
smooth the paper against the wall with
your hands, beginning at one edge and
working your way across. Use a
smoothing brush or damp sponge to
smooth out any air bubbles.
PANELLING
Panelling is a wall covering constructed
from rigid or semi-rigid components.
These are traditionally interlocking
wood, but could be plastic or other
materials.

Panelling was developed in antiquity to

make rooms in stone buildings more
comfortable. The panels served to
insulate the room from the cold stone. In
more modern buildings, such panelling is
often installed for decorative purposes.
CASTING OF PANELS
 PANELLING

OF

PROCEDURE
When applying sheet or board panels over a
finished wood-frame wall, you may be able to
attach the material through the wallboard or
plaster to the wall studs.

Before installation, cut each sheet 1/4 inch

shorter than the distance from the floor to the
ceiling. Apply adhesive to the framing in wavy
lines. Drive four finishing nails through the top
edge of the panel.

Position the panel on the wall, leaving a 1/4-

inch space at the bottom, and drive the four
nails partway into the wall. Pull the bottom edge
of the panel about 6 inches from the wall and
push a block behind the sheet.
PANELING
Position the first panel at one corner of the room, but do
not apply panel adhesive yet. Check the inside edge of
the panel with a level to make sure it is plumb.

Attach the panel to the wall, placing nails in the dark

grooves where they’re least likely to be visible. Stop
hammering before the nailhead reaches the surface, and
set the head flush with a nailset.

Nail the entire piece of paneling to the wall. Use special

panel nails and make sure they are long enough to
penetrate the paneling and the sheetrock or plaster.
Short nails are available for paneling that is directly
applied to the wood frame. Nail to each stud going from
bottom to top and then proceed to the next framing
member.
