Step 1 - Estimate Materials Rewoodd Paneling is 3/8”x 5”x 12”- 48” in size, our product is tongue and grooved for easy installation. First measure the total square footage of the wall or area to be paneled. If there are any doors or windows in the space, subtract the area needed for them and divide the remaining number by 20 to determine how many boxes you need to buy. For example- 12’x12’ wall = 144 sq. ft. 144/20= 7.2. You’ll need 8 boxes. Remember to subtract sq. footage on doors and/or windows. Step 2 – Prepare the Walls When paneling over a solid back, you’ll need to make any necessary repairs first so that wall is flush and even. Step 3 - Measure and Cut the Panels Do a dry run with the panels to see how they all line up, and rearrange them as needed to get the best result. Mark the backs of the panels or lay them back down in the order they were arranged so when they are secured to the wall, it is done correctly. Start from the top and draw a few lines on the wall with a level to set up the beginning of installation. You’ll need to cut the panels to fit any type of fixture, window, or doorway. For electrical boxes and fixtures, simply chalk around the space to be accommodated and press the loose panel against it, making a clear outline of the area to be cut. Drill holes at the corners and use a keyhole saw to make the cuts, extending it by 1/16-inch all around to be safe. Measure the area for any doors and windows instead of just chalking. Then, mark the measurements on the panel and make your cuts extend 1/16-inch beyond the space required, just as before. When cutting, to keep from getting ragged edges on the face of the product, use a fine tooth or higher tooth count blade and cut the board with the non-reclaimed side facing you. Step 4 – Install with Nails or Adhesive There’s an easy technique for working with any tongue-and-groove product. Start with a single plank. Once you’ve made sure that its level and flush, nail the plank. (If you don’t have an air nailer and compressor, rent one; it makes quick work of tasks like these.) Next, nail into the tongue of the plank at a 45-degree angle, sliding the groove of the next plank onto the tongue of the first, repeat the process above. If you are using adhesive just make sure the adhesive is on the back of the product before attaching it to the wall. Start with a single plank. Once you’ve made sure that its level and flush, add slight pressure to the board to get as close of a fit as possible, sliding the groove of the next plank onto the tongue of the first, repeat the process above.
