Wall Panelling InstallationYou really start to appreciate the benfits of wall panelling when it comes to installation. There is virtually no preparation required - the panelling can go straight onto brick, block, plaster, battens or stud-work and can even go over existing ceramic tiles.
Panelling installers that we have consulted prefer to stick the panels directly to the wall using panel adhesive (such as No More Nails) or stapled if the walls are suitable. Panel adhesive is quite thick and can be used to pack out the panels if the walls are sligtly uneven. If the walls are very uneven, battens can be used to achieve a level surface and then the panels can be attached to the battens using panel adhesive or a staple gun (screws can be used but slow the installation process down.) The joints between the panels do not need to be sealed, but a thin bead of silicone can be applied inside the joint where the panels will come into contact with a high pressure shower - such as a power shower.
