- As already mentioned, the height of the finishing material is 2.6 meters, which involves cutting each strip by 100 mm.
- When calculating the material, take into account the fact that 5 millimeters is stolen due to the fact that the panels are connected together. Thus, the net width of the stacked lining is 163 mm.

- The first wall panel must be installed strictly in vertical level. After that, at least 4 places are fixed special brackets( kleymers).
- Fixing the kleimers to the wooden bar is made using nails.
- The panel is installed in such a way that the groove enters the claymer.
- The subsequent strip of finishing material is mounted so that its crest is clearly inserted into the groove of the first installed panel.
