Once shaker panelling is fitted, fit architrave/dado rail

onto the top edge.

Note: 

Shaker panels are 12mm in thickness. This may mean they will stand proud of skirting/architrave.

To overcome this issue, skirting/architrave can be packed out away from the wall.

Alternatively, chamfer the joining edge of the wall panel.

Architrave/Dado mitred

before fitting

Cut panelling around plug sockets 

measuring the appropriate hole. Face 

plates should be removed and surface 

mounted.

Note:

 Electrical supply should be 

turned off before removing face plate.

Each pack of shaker wall panelling is supplied with an end stile.

‘X’

Measure the distance between the cross rail on the last panel 

fitted and the wall/end of the run.

Fit the cut-down panel to the wall and then fit the end stile.

Note: 

The end stile will require packing out by 6mm 

(spare 

anchor points can be used for this).

Note: 

One end stile is supplied per pack of 5 panels. If the 

room layout dictates that additional ends stiles are required, 

these can be cut from spare panels.

To finish a corner (internal or external angle), decorators 

caulk can be used to fill the joint. Alternatively, use a

quadrant or corner profiles to finish.

Note: 

On an external angle, the 

panelling edge will protrude the wall 

by 6mm to enable the external angle 

to be created.

Shaker wall panelling can be painted. 

Follow the paint manufacturers guidelines 

for paint application.

Note:

 Lightly sand the panel and wipe 

clean before painting.

Decorators caulk can be used to fill any 

slight gaps in the joints caused by the 

contours of the wall.

Cut the panel to the width required making sure 100mm is 

deducted from the measurement ‘X’ for the end stile.

Note: 

Add a 2mm chamfer to the end of the top/bottom rail on 

the cut panel to create a ‘V’ groove.
