Plywood Panels: 3 Key Installation Recommendations
Plywood panels are a popular choice for interiors in both residential and commercial spaces. Not only are they flexible, durable and attractive, they’re also fast and easy to install, saving you valuable time and money on your project.
What’s more, because our plywood panels are delivered to you as a complete timber wall or ceiling system, pre-finished and manufactured to exact specifications, your team can get straight into the install, with zero hassles.
For a seamless install every time, we have a range of recommendations that will make your job easier. So, before you start your project, read on to learn our top 3 installation recommendations.
1) Read and follow our installation guide
When planning your install, our comprehensive installation guide should always be your first point of call. With detailed information on the various fastening methods and tools required, plus step-by-step directions to guide you through the installation process from start to finish, you can plan out your project to perfection. With a detailed guide available for walls and a separate version for ceilings, you can download a copy instantly from our website so you have all the info you need at your fingertips. Don’t start your install without this essential guide.
2) Choose a no-glue fixing method
When it comes to fixing methods, you have plenty of choices to suit your needs. Detailed information can be found on each method within our installation guide to help you choose the right method for your project. Opting for a glue-free, mechanically fastened system, is a smart choice, as it allows for a cleaner installation process with less odour and toxins. When it comes to no-glue fixing, we highly recommend the Z-Clip aluminium split batten or the concealed plug system.
The Z-Clip system is fast and easy to install, has a very low profile compared to traditional split-batten systems, plus, the profile is reversable, allowing for a clean, concealed look. Another great no-glue choice is the concealed plug system. Supplied with a 10mm plug that matches the finish of your ply panels, the panels are secured via screw before the plug is gently tapped into place, covering the screw and making it almost impossible to distinguish the fixing points, even when you’re right up close.
3) Spanning and fastening
As a natural timber product, plywood is extremely flexible and versatile to work with, however, to keep it looking good for longer and avoid your plywood panels bowing, it is essential that the recommended spanning and fastening techniques are followed when installing. Plan this aspect early on, and be as detailed as possible to ensure the best result. As each project is unique, our team can provide detailed advice on recommended spanning guidelines and the most suitable fastening method for your needs.
Correct installation is key to a winning finish
To achieve a long-lasting and fantastic-looking result with your plywood, getting your installation spot on is a must. The good news is, that when you follow our installation guide, select a fast and fuss-free fixing method and factor in your spanning and fastening needs, you can achieve a stunning result evert time.
