Fabric Panel Installation
Picture Guide
Materials Needed: Clear Silicone Caulking, 1 1/2” #10 Drywall
Screws, 2”Finish Nails.
Tools Needed: Tape Measure, Hammer, Level, String, Caulk
Gun, Philips Screwdriver, Pencil.
1. Using a tape measure, mark the wall 1 1/8” below
the top line of the panel.
2. Pull string along wall at marks.
3. Screw in drywall screws ( 1 per foot of panel) - The head
of the screw should sit a 1⁄4” off the wall.
4. Place panels on screws, check alignment and appearance. Then
remove panels.
5. Apply silicone caulking to back of panel.
6. Press panel against the wall with the top aluminum edging
slightly above the drywall screws. When it is flush with the
wall pull it down gently until the screws grab the aluminum edging.
The panel should now be in place. Check level as needed.
7. Put finish nails in on a slight angle through the face of
the panel. These should be hammered gently through the fabric
so they
disappear behind the fabric. Use as many nails as necessary to
insure the panel is flush to the wall.
