General Installation Guidelines
Begin by unpacking your planks and laying them out in an area close to your project. You want to do this in order to ensure a good color variation in each plank you install. Wait 24 hours before installation to allow the planks to acclimate to room temperature.
It’s a good idea to mark a chalk line in conjunction with a level to ensure your first row stays level as you glue the planks to the wall.
You will want to stagger your planks to achieve the best look. We have found that by alternating the widths, along with staggering the planks, you will produce an authentic appearance that compliments the realistic texture of our planks.
Attaching the planks is the easiest part. We recommend using a construction adhesive such as PL Premium or F26. You can also use pin nails or crown staples to hold the planks in place until the glue sets. Just remember, the larger the nail, the more likely it will be seen.
