1) Finish the edge under cabinets. Before installation, paint the wall area just under the
cabinet to match the darkest color in the panel nish. This will hide any areas where a small,
thin area of wall is exposed due to the panel not tting perfectly along the entire cabinet’s
bottom edges. Or use Edge J-Trim along the top edge of the panels where it meets the bottom
of the cabinets. The trim can be adjusted to butt perfectly along the bottom edge of the cabinets.
2) Clean surfaces. Before starting, make sure all surfaces are clean, dry, at, smooth
and free from dust, grease, etc. Lightly sand any glossy surfaces to remove sheen. Clean
the back surface of the panels by wiping with a clean cloth and rubbing alcohol. Refer to
adhesive manufacturer's directions. Use rubbing alcohol in a well-ventilated area away
from ignition sources.
3) Dry layout. See examples below for 2 possible layout options. Layout depends greatly on
space and panel style chosen. These examples also call out the “bump” occasionaly created by
overlapped panels, see Installation Tips #3 for more information.
Work from bottom left. Start from the left side at the bottom and work either upwards or to
the right. An exception to this rule would be designing a layout of panels to be centered at a
focal point, such as behind a sink or stove area, then build out from both sides of the focal point.
4) Cutting the panels. Once layout
is determined, measure and cut the
backsplash panels to size.
5) Finish the edges. If the area to be
covered ends on a at wall, and you
desire to nish the cut edge of the last
panel, use a piece of matching Edge
J-Trim. This trim piece slides over the
cut edge of the panel. Also, if you have
an inside corner, it is recommended
you use a piece of matching Inside
Corner Trim. (See trim prole
drawings at right). You should slide
the J-trim and corner trims onto the
edge of the panel before beginning
your backsplash panel installation.
Note: Instead of using trim, you can also nish your edges with caulk.
1) Installing your rst panel. If you have not
done so, clean the back side of each panel using
isopropyl alcohol and a paper towel or cloth. Make
sure the rst panel you intend to install ts. Slide
trim piece onto edge of panel. Apply adhesive to
the back of the rst panel. The recommended
PREPARATION
INSTALLATION USING TUBE ADHESIVE

BEFORE INSTALLATION BEGINS
adhesive is Loctite PL Premium or PL Premium Fast Grab. Carefully read and follow
adhesive manufacturer’s directions. Apply panel adhesive according to previous drawing,
using approximately a 1/8" to 3/16" bead. The 10 oz. adhesive tube covers approximately 4
backsplash panels.
2) Squeeze out trapped air. Place panel and press against substrate using a soft cloth to apply
pressure rmly and evenly across the panel and squeeze out excess air.
3) Wipe off excess adhesive. Use water or mineral spirits and a cloth. Clean off any
adhesive residue that is visible while it is still wet. Do not allow this residue to dry as it will
be very hard to clean up when dry and could damage the nish.
4) Finish installing your panels. Add additional panels in the same fashion.
1) Installing your rst panel. If you have not done so, clean the back side of each panel using
isopropyl alcohol and a paper towel or cloth. Make sure the rst panel you intend to install ts.
Slide trim piece onto edge of panel, if using trims.
2) Apply adhesive strips. Apply three horizontal strips of tape: one on top, one on the middle
and one on the bottom of the panel, or apply tape to wall. Do not remove liner on tape yet. Note:
Carefully locate each panel location prior to installation as the adhesive tape is very aggressive.
3) Remove liner from tape and install rst panel. Remove liner from top layer of tape
strips to expose the sticky adhesive surface. Apply rst panel, press rmly into place when
alignment is correct.
4) Bond overlap areas. Add a few 1" x 1" squares of tape to the overlap area of each
panel to bond the overlap tightly.
5) Finish installation. Continue to add panels in this fashion until complete.
1) Cut panels for outlets and light switches. Measure and mark
the border of where the opening has to be with a marker. Score
along the entire border using a utility knife, making a few passes
with a bit more pressure each pass. Then in the center area to be
removed, cut a 1/2" to 1" triangular hole all the way through the
panel. Next, using sharp scissors or tin snips, cut angled cuts from
the edges of the cut triangle to the corners of the border scores.
Then carefully bend each corner area along the scores until they
break free. See illustrations to right.
2) Understand the overlap feature. Prior to installation, it is
important to understand the overlap feature of each panel. Each panel
has two ½" at edges (the longer
at edge is the top of the panel and
shorter at edge is the right side
of the panel). Arrange all panels
this way so additional panels can
be added to the top or right side of
any panel.
Where 4 panels intersect.
When overlapping 4 panels, it is
necessary to cut a ½" notch in
panels 2 and 3 to avoid an overlap
buildup that causes a “bump.”
(See drawing at right)
3) Clean only with warm, soapy water. Never use abrasive cleaners. Using a high quality
auto polish can help protect the nish.
4) For speeding up cure time, after applying the Loctite PL Premium adhesive to panel,
lightly spray the adhesive with a ne mist of clean water after applying to panel. This will help
the adhesive cure.

CAUTION: Even though these panels are “Class A” re rated, they can be deformed with excessive heat.
Never expose to heat over 140˚F.
Never use abrasive materials such as scouring pads to clean surface; use only a soft cloth or sponge with
