Adhesive. Apply construction adhesive to the back of eachpanel. Place panel in desired location. To avoid slippage,temporary support is required.

Hook and Loop Fasteners. The panel comes with the loopfastener already applied and the hook attached to its mate (theloop). To install, remove the tape backing on the hook andposition the panel on the wall.

Impaling Clips. Mount impaling clips to the wall. Thenpush the panels onto the impaling clips. Use adhesive foradditional support.

Z-Clips. Clips are already mounted onto the panels at thetime of shipment. Install clips on the wall at the locationestablished by the position of the panel clips.

Concealed Splines. Panels with concealed spline attachmentshave kerfs along the edges of the panels. Insert the spline intoone panel and mount on the wall. Then insert adjoining pan-els into the remaining half of the spline.
