Lesson 06 : Wood paneling

Installation procedure

Things to be kept in mind before installation:

• To make sure that the wall is as level as possible
• To ensure that the wall is completely dry so the paneling doesn't swell or warp
• If installing the paneling against a concrete wall we must seal the concrete first so that moisture doesn't seep into the wood

Specifications of paneling installation

• It depends on the surface we are working with.
• Tools for most types of paneling installations include a tape measure, a chalk line, a level, a jig saw, a hand saw, a circular saw and a hammer
• A drill will be helpful for drilling starter holes for cutouts. Nails and paneling adhesive are needed to secure the paneling in place.
