Most panels in apartments can be installed by two people with basic tools. Download the installation guide PDF for diagrams.

Tools

  • Drill/driver and bits
  • Level (a laser level speeds up groupings)
  • Tape measure and pencil
  • Wall anchors suited to the wall type
  • A ladder or lift for ceiling products

Wall panels with Z-clips

  1. Mark the top edge of each panel using the paper template.
  2. Fix the wall half of each Z-clip level, into studs or with anchors.
  3. The panel half is factory-fitted to the back of the panel.
  4. Lift the panel over the wall clips and slide it down until it locks.

For wall-specific fixings see mounting on concrete and mounting on drywall.
