How do I mount the panels on a concrete or plasterboard wall?

Fixing the mounting profiles to a solid wall and to a stud wall, step by step.

Our panels hang on horizontal mounting profiles that you fix to the wall first. The wall must be dry, flat and free of dust, and the panels must have rested in the room for 48 hours.

Concrete and masonry

  • Fix each profile with nylon plugs and screws for solid walls, one fixing every 400 mm.
  • Drill through the slots in the profile, so you can still level it before tightening.

Plasterboard

  • Screw the profiles into the metal or timber studs behind the board, not into the board alone. Find the studs with a detector and mark them.
  • Where a fixing falls between two studs, use a metal cavity anchor rated for the load. A panel weighs about 8 kg per square metre.
  • Do not use adhesive alone on plasterboard. The paper face can come away from the board.

Steps

  1. Mark a level line 100 mm above the floor and fix the first profile on it.
  2. Fix the next profiles above it, 600 mm apart, measured centre to centre.
  3. Start in a corner. Hang the first panel, check that it is plumb, and work along the wall.
  4. Cut panels to length with a fine-toothed saw, face up.
  5. Have an electrician switch off the power and move sockets and switches forward before you cut openings for them.

This article covers flat, dry interior walls. For curved walls, ceilings or damp rooms, ask our technical team before you start; the fixing method depends on the construction of the wall.
