How To Install Fretwork Panels

Installing an accent wall has never been easier than with these fretwork panels. Simply calculate how many panels you will need for your wall from our product calculator, purchase them from your local Lowe’s Home Improvement store, and attach them to your wall following the below steps.

1. Assure that installation surface is smooth, clean and dry.

2. Measure and mark a vertical line at the center of the installation surface. Note: pattern may be started from the top, bottom, or center.

3. Apply small bead of adhesive to back of grid and place the grid to the wall aligning with your center mark. Remove any excess adhesive. Secure in place with painter’s tape until cured. Note: Small finishing nails may be used in lieu of tape.

4. Continue installing panels end to end and side by side, leveling each as installed, trimming as necessary

Once they are in place, paint them the color of your choosing, and viola! You have a beautiful accent wall in just three easy steps. Check out our full installation guide here.
