Mounting guide for the paneling on plasterboard

Restructuring with plasterboard offers many advantages already listed in other specific articles that can be found on this website.

One of these advantages is certainly the possibility of revolutionizing your home by creating finishes that, with other materials, would have required inaccessible costs and times.

Wainscoting

One of the most obvious examples is that relating to the application of the boiserie.

Here are easy step-by-step instructions to apply the paneling on a plasterboard surface:

• Lay on the ground, to protect the flooring, corrugated cardboard and cover cloths;

• Remove, with a brush or with a damp cloth, as much dust as possible from the plasterboard;

• Outline on a sheet of paper and then transfer roughly on the wall with a construction pencil, helping yourself with the measurements with a professional tape measure, a positioning scheme of the wainscoting by calculating dimensions and centimeters well, in order to avoid installation errors;

• Cut the polystyrene modules paying attention to the squaring of the elements especially near corners or protrusions;

• Check the flatness of the walls with a spirit level;

• Wear protective gloves to prevent the glue from damaging the skin and a mask with filter so as not to breathe directly into the smells of the products.

• Apply the acrylic sealant directly to the back of the module to be attached to the wall and then fix the latter simply by pressing with your hands;

• After laying, wait about two hours and then apply (with a specific gun), only on the joints, a special transparent acetic sealant to accommodate the dimensional movements of the wall;

• Finally, paint with a special roller and specific paint for plasterboard.
