Tools and Supplies You'll Need
You can install Wellington panels easily using tools
found in almost everyone's toolbox. To complete a wall,
you will need:
- Screws — use either exterior or interior screws, as appropriate for your installation.
- Construction Adhesive/Glue — we recommend PL® Polyurethane Premium. You can purchase it from this website if you prefer.
(It must be rated for use on urethane for best results).
- Screwdriver (battery-operated/electric preferred).
- Wood cutting saw for cutting panels - jig saw, band saw, your preference.
Directions:
The Wellington panels can be used on any flat surface,
including brick or concrete.

 |
1. Apply glue to the back of the panel in a zigzag pattern.
|
|
2. Make sure the panel is level and fasten the panel to the wall with screws in each corner.
|
|
3. For the next panel, repeat steps 1 and 2. Then slide the panel in place.
|
We strongly
recommend the use of our adhesive where the panels
join. This will assist in maintaining the integrity
of the installation by preventing any possible
flexing or separation of the product due to extreme
ambient temperature and humidity changes once
the installation is complete. It will also insure
that your newly installed panels remain water/weatherproof.

4. Tap in for a snug fit. Make sure you install the panels tightly, as they may expand and contract with temperature changes. Repeat these steps until the first row is complete.
|
|
5. Now you can start the next row. The panels were designed to lock into each other top and bottom.
|
|
6. Tap panel in for a snug fit.

7. For a seamless look, offset each row by one half sheet. This will make it impossible to notice any seams.
|
|
8. Make sure to keep the panels level. You can use a chalk line (or pencil lines) on your wall to make sure the panels are staying straight.
|
|
9. Remember to fasten all corners with screws.

10. Continue to glue, fit and fasten.

MAKE SURE to observe and obey all safety rules and recommendations set forth by tool manufacturers
and local,
state, and federal authorities for any building project including all applicable building codes.
