Cutting Guidelines

Inside Corners: Cut at 45° angle, face side slightly longer

Outside Corners: Cut at 45° angle, back side slightly longer

Straight Cuts: Use a miter saw for clean, precise edges

Tip: Practice cutting on scrap pieces first to ensure proper angle and technique.

3Installation Process

Step by Step

Step 1

Dry Fit

Before applying adhesive, test fit all pieces to ensure proper alignment.

Step 2

Apply Adhesive

Use construction adhesive on the back of the PU piece. Apply in a zigzag pattern.

Step 3

Position & Press

Place the piece in position and press firmly. Use painter's tape to hold in place.

Step 4

Secure if Needed

For larger pieces, use screws (countersunk) or finishing nails for extra support.

Step 5

Fill Gaps

Use caulk or filler for any gaps or seams. Sand smooth when dry.

Step 6

Paint (Optional)

Prime and paint as desired. PU products accept all standard paints.

4Finishing Touches

Sanding

Lightly sand any rough edges or excess adhesive before painting. Use 120-220 grit sandpaper.

Priming

Apply a quality primer before painting to ensure better adhesion and a smoother finish.

Painting

PU products can be painted with any water-based or solvent-based paint. Apply 2 coats for best results.

Sealing

For wet areas, apply a waterproof sealant to protect the installation and ensure longevity.
