3D Wall Panels

Install on a clean, dry, sound and reasonably flat surface. Remove loose finishes, repair damaged drywall and test adhesion on glossy paint or other low-porosity surfaces.

Use an adhesive approved for both the panel material and the wall. Apply only the recommended amount so adhesive does not squeeze into visible joints, and complete a small test area first.

Use a sharp knife, fine saw or other tool appropriate for the panel material. Measure twice, support the panel and place cut edges where they can be covered by a corner or finishing trim when possible.

Start from a level and plumb reference line, dry-layout several panels and identify the repeating pattern before fixing the first piece. Check alignment after every row rather than correcting it at the end.

Some 3D panels can be filled, primed and painted, while others are intended to keep a visible joint. Follow the instructions for the exact panel and test filler, primer and paint on an offcut.

Use them only in locations allowed for the selected material. Control moisture and ventilation, seal edges where specified and do not treat decorative panels as a substitute for waterproofing.

Choose the start point based on the focal wall and the size of the end cuts. Centring the pattern often creates balanced edges, while a corner start may reduce cutting. Dry-fit the full layout before deciding.

Removal depends on the adhesive and substrate and may damage paint or drywall paper. Use a fastening approach suited to the desired permanence and test a removable method before covering the wall.
