Procedures:
- Decide on the height you want for the beadboard. Once you decided, strike a level line across the wall. Measure the first piece along the side wall.
Advice: The paneling should be acclimatized to the place where it will be installed at least 24 to 48 hours before installation. - Use a circular saw to cut the beadboard and add some construction adhesive on the back
- Place beadboard on the wall and align it up with the guide. Use brad nailer to secure the beadboard paneling and nail the corners and edges.
Tip: A space of 1/16” should be left between panels to allow for expansion during periods of increased humidity. - The next piece goes on the sink wall. You need to measure and mark it for the holes for the drainage and supply routes.
- Use hole-saw attachment on the drill to make a hole.
- Put the beadboard up through drain pipes and supply lines, and attach it with brad nailer.
- Measure, cut, and install the rest of the beadboard pieces around the room.
- Use miter saw to cut the chair railing and install it along the top of the beadboard.
Tip: Take into account the medium-density fiber board if you are looking for a good alternative to wood molding. This won’t distort or crack and it come pre-primed and ready to paint. - Use caulk to fill the exposed nail hole and any spaces that are not entirely aligned.
- Apply first coat of drywall compound to the wall. Rub down any uneven spots and add the second coat of mud, lighter than the first.
