How to Apply Faux Stone Wall Paneling
Using your tape measure, measure the wall area you will be working with to determine how many panels you need.
Measure and mark out all the wall studs with a level.
If
you're around a doorway, make trim pieces to cover the edges of the
panels that will be exposed. Measure and cut strips of wood and install
them using construction adhesive and nails.
Determine
where you want to start. With a jig saw, utility knife or circular saw,
cut off the first piece so you can start with a nice, even row.
Apply construction adhesive on the back of the panel (image 1), and attach it to the wall (image 2).
For
extra hold, screw in a 2-inch wood screw into the wall stud to help
keep the panel in place (image 1). Continue this process along the first
row (image 2).
When
you get to a receptacle, measure the distance and transfer those
measurements onto the appropriate piece. Continue this complete process
until you get to the last row.
For
this row, measure the height you will need for the panels. Transfer
your measurement onto the panel and cut this piece with a table saw
(image 1). Do this to the complete top row (image 2).
