How to Use / Installation Guide

1. Measure the Area
Measure the total wall, ceiling or partition area where the board will be installed.

Formula:
Total area ÷ 2.88m² = number of boards required

Add 5–10% extra for cutting, wastage, corners and fitting around openings.

2. Prepare the Surface or Framework
For walling, ensure the surface is dry, clean, level and firm.
For ceiling and partition works, prepare a strong timber or metal framework before fixing the board.

3. Mark and Cut the Board
Mark the required measurements clearly. Cut carefully using suitable tools to achieve clean and straight edges.

4. Fix the Board
Fix the board using suitable screws, nails, adhesive or recommended fixing method depending on the surface and project. Make sure the board is properly supported and aligned.

5. Finish the Joints
Use joint filler, trims, mouldings or finishing strips depending on the final appearance required. Neat joints help create a professional finish.

6. Sand the Edges and Joints
Lightly sand rough edges and joint areas before painting or decorating.

7. Apply Primer
Apply a suitable primer before painting. This helps improve paint adhesion and gives a smoother final result.

8. Paint or Decorate
Apply your preferred interior paint, wallpaper or decorative coating. The smooth uncoloured surface gives flexibility for different designs.

9. Final Inspection
Check that all boards are firmly fixed, joints are neat, edges are smooth and the surface is clean.

Important Installation Tips

Do not install on wet, dusty or weak surfaces.

Use a strong support framework, especially for ceiling and partition installations.

Use correct screw spacing to prevent movement or sagging.

Apply primer before painting for a better finish.

Avoid direct water exposure or continuous moisture.

Use an experienced walling or ceiling fundi for a neat professional finish.

Maintenance

Wipe dust using a soft dry cloth.

Avoid direct water contact.

Repaint when necessary to maintain a fresh appearance.

Inspect joints, screw points and edges periodically.

Repair damaged sections early to maintain a clean finish.
