How to Use / Installation Guide

1. Measure the Area
Measure the full wall or ceiling area where the smooth board will be installed.

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

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

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

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

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

5. Finish the Joints
Use joint filler, trims, mouldings or finishing strips depending on the required final look. Keep joints neat for a professional finish.

6. Sand the Edges and Joint Areas
Lightly sand any rough areas before painting or finishing.

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

8. Paint or Decorate
Apply your preferred interior paint, wallpaper or decorative finish. The uncoloured smooth surface makes it easy to match different interior designs.

9. Final Inspection
Check that boards are firmly fixed, joints are neat, edges are clean and the surface is ready for use.

Important Installation Tips

Do not install on wet, weak or dusty surfaces.

Use a strong support frame for ceiling and partition installations.

Use the correct screw spacing to prevent board movement.

Apply primer before painting for a better finish.

Avoid direct water exposure or prolonged moisture.

For best results, use an experienced ceiling or walling fundi.

Maintenance

Wipe dust using a soft dry cloth.

Avoid pouring or spraying water directly on the board.

Repaint when necessary to maintain a fresh look.

Inspect joints, screw points and edges periodically.

Repair damaged areas early to maintain a clean interior finish.
