It’s a challenge that, if we do it correctly, we can rise to meet. So let’s walk through the process, step-by-step, making sure all our bases are covered.

First, installation is all about the prep. Start by gathering the necessary tools: measuring tape, level, saw, sandpaper, adhesive, and a soft, damp cloth. Select the preferred wood panel type based on your requirements, keeping in mind the range of wood panels ideal for diverse applications.

To avoid mistakes, always mark your measurements with a pencil before cutting. This allows for great precision to be reached. Start the installation from one point of the room, installing the first panel with the panel edge against the wall. This first placement is critical for a clean, professional appearance.

Then, work on alignment. Check with a level to make sure the panels are even and straight. This helps make the installation visually stunning, as well as structurally sound. Sandpaper is great for smoothing rough edges or surfaces to create a polished, refined look.

Through more than two decades of experience, we’ve learned that detailed planning and execution leads to the best results. Our esteemed clientele from all sectors of the United States have rewarded this dedication to outstanding quality.
