FAQ -wall cladding

There are several options available to you for installing your PVC floor tiles or wall panels.

wall mounting:

On old tile flooring, you have two options:

1. You can glue your paneling using our GX Power glue or our strong adhesives. To apply the glue, make zigzag lines from top to bottom on yourwall cladding , use a level to position your tile or panel correctly, then press down firmly on the entire surface. The glue does not adhere immediately, so you can make any necessary adjustments.
   
2. For adhesive installation, apply adhesive every 20 cm around the edge of your tile or panel. Then randomly distribute a few adhesives over the entire surface of your substrate. Once you have applied your paneling, press down firmly over the entire surface. Please note that once you have done this, you will not be able to remove it to readjust its position.
   
3. You can also attach your paneling by screwing it into the blade profile designed for this purpose.
   

On plasterboard:

1. You can use the first two types of applications.
2. Staple installation: the profile of our panels or tiles allows them to be stapled directly onto your plasterboard. Simply slot the next panel into place for a perfect connection.

On battens:

1. Installation on battens is carried out when your wall damaged with more than 3 mm of unevenness or when you want to leave a space to allow natural ventilation in case of moisture. Only stapling is recommended in this case.

Ceiling installation:

1. Ceiling installation can be done using metal brackets. These allow space between your ceiling and your paneling. This space allows cables to be discreetly routed for the installation of spotlights.
2. Another solution is also possible, which is to staple or screw directly.
3. Installation on battens by stapling or screwing.
