How to Install Wood Fretwork Wall Panels

Step 1 : Prime and Paint

Prime and paint wood fretwork before installing or use quality stain for wood species other than MDF. Touch up paint or stain as needed after installation.

Step 2 : Clean to Clear debris

Smooth installation surface with sandpaper by removing excessive bumps or texture. Wipe wall clean to clear debris.

Step 3 : Mark the installation

We recommend laying out the desired layout before installation. Mark the installation points using a chalk line or straight edge and level.

A: For single panels, start at either the top or bottom corner at the edge of the wall and work towards the opposite corner.

B : For 2-piece panel sets start at the center and work out.
