4-Step DIY Guide: Installing Decorative Wall Panels

1. Measure & Plan

  • Measure wall height and width; note obstacles (sockets, pipes).
  • Dry-lay panels on the floor to choose the best starting point and minimise cuts.
  • Mark a plumb vertical reference line on the wall for the first panel.

2. Prep & Trim

  • Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and flat.
  • Cut starter, edge, and corner trims to length with a fine-tooth saw.
  • Fix trims in place using high-grab panel adhesive; check with a spirit level.

3. Bond the Panels

  • Run vertical beads of adhesive on the back of the first panel.
  • Slot the tongue into the trim, press firmly against the wall, and level.
  • Repeat for remaining panels, engaging each tongue-and-groove joint for a tight, seamless fit.

4. Finish & Seal

  • Cut around switches or pipes with a jigsaw or utility knife; test-fit before bonding.
  • Fit final edge or universal trims, then apply colour-matched silicone to corners and joints for a watertight seal.
  • Wipe panels clean, remove protective film, and allow adhesive to cure.
