Cut each sheet 1 4 inch shorter than the distance from the floor to the ceiling.
How do you install plaster panels on wall.
Masonry screws work best on plaster regular panel nails will not be able to penetrate the plaster.
Brush on pva glue to prepare the wall to hold the plaster.
Place a wood panel against the wall in a corner with the base resting on top of the baseboard.
Drive four finishing nails through the top edge of the panel.
Cut openings step 6.
If your paneling is tongue and groove place the groove.
Trim to fit step 5.
Position the panel on the wall leaving a 1 4 inch space at the bottom and drive the four nails partway into the wall.
Apply adhesive step 7.
Roll or brush the pva over the entire wall aiming for total coverage.
Press all over the surface to assure glue transfer to the wall.
The typical method of installation is to press the panel to the wall using your hand or a towel.
Allow a 1 8 inch expansion gap in the corner.
Press the panel back to the wall and it should hold very firmly.
Then pull the panel away from the wall for about a minute to allow the glue to develop tackiness.
Use masonry screws and a drill to apply one screw every 18 inches on top of the stud.
Press each panel firmly into place.
For best results the plaster should be applied while the pva coat is tacky but not completely dry.
