To start, gather the following tools for a smooth installation process:
Tape Measure
Jigsaw and Hacksaw
Rubber Mallet
Marker Pen
Combination Square
Base Level or Spirit Level
Mixing Device & 4mm Notched Trowel (for using two-part adhesive)
Application Gun
Wipes
Premierbond Adhesives & Silicones
Work Table
Step 2: Wall Preparation
Begin by preparing the wall surface:
Ensure the wall is clean and free from dust.
Apply a diluted PVA solution to the wall 24 hours before installation to help remove any residual particles.
Step 3: Setting the Level
To ensure a straight installation:
Use a laser level to position the capping and base transitions at the bottom of the wall, aligning them to sit flush with the floor, skirting, or countertop.
Alternatively, a spirit level can also be used for alignment.
Step 4: Measuring and Cutting
For precision:
Measure the cladding area and account for any inconsistencies in the floor level.
Mark cutting lines, and if adjustments are needed, double-check with a spirit or laser level.
Step 5: Adhesive Preparation
Apply the single-part Premierbond adhesive to secure the trim along the pre-marked level.
Press down to set, then secure with masking tape until the adhesive fully sets as recommended.
Step 6: Adhesive Application
Measure the wall for sheet placement, noting all cutouts for sockets, switches, and pipes.
Measure twice, cut once to ensure accuracy, especially around corners where walls may require sheet adjustments.
Step 7: Fitting the Sheets
Choose an adhesive based on coverage needs:
Premierbond Two-Part Adhesive for full coverage.
Fix All Adhesive for both internal and external applications.
Fix All Adhesive for internal use only.
Step 8: Fitting Accessories
For the two-part adhesive:
Mix Solutions A and B using a drill-fitted paddle for at least two minutes to ensure a uniform consistency.
With these steps, your PVC cladding installation will be both efficient and precise, providing a durable, hygienic finish.
