Prepare the Wall
Panels can be mounted directly to masonry wall with wooded studs
attached, over drywall to wooden studs, or to bare wooden studs.
Masonry Block/Poured Concrete Wall
Before you can install the panels on poured concrete or masonry block
walls, you must install 2 in. by 4 in. wooden studs to the wall with the 4 in.
side against the wall. The wooden studs must be installed over the entire
area to be covered by the GearWall™ panels. This provides a level surface
on which to apply the panels.
1.
Install the first stud at the starting edge of the desired coverage area
to act as a guide.
Drill a hole through the stud and into the wall surface. Follow
masonry screw manufacturer's instructions for proper
installation.
For best results use a hammer drill and masonry bit.
NOTE: For extra hold, you may choose to put construction adhesive
on the stud before attaching it to the wall.
Secure the stud to the wall by placing ¹⁄₄ in. x 2³⁄₄ in. masonry
screws every 18 in. (45.72 cm).
2.
Use this stud as your guide. Measure 16 in. (40.64 cm) from the
corner and snap a vertical chalk line using a chalk line with a plumb
bob. Snap a chalk line every 16 in. (40.64 cm) from this point.
3.
Align the remaining studs with the center of each chalk line, and
attach them to the wall as you did in Step 1.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Panel Location Requirements
You can cover a full wall or part of a wall with the panels. If the wall is
longer than the 8 ft. (2.43 m) panel, you will need to stagger the vertical
panel joints in each row with the seams at the wooden studs, as shown.
Drywall over Wooden Studs
1.
Locate all wooden studs and mark the wall(s).
2.
Locate electrical wiring and mark the wall(s).
Wooden Studs and Drywall over Wooden Studs
Full Wall Installation:
1.
Snap a level chalk line at a convenient height on the wall(s).
2.
Measure from the chalk line to the ceiling and determine the lowest
point of the ceiling along the wall.
3.
From the lowest point, measure down 12¹⁄₄ in. (31.11 cm) and snap a
level chalk line on all application walls.
NOTE: Be sure to take into account any ceiling height variations.
Partial Wall Installation
1.
Snap a level chalk line 12 in. (30.48 cm) below the desired height of
the top panel.
Outlets and Switches
Locate any cutouts, measure and cut the panels prior to beginning the
installation. Electrical outlets should be recessed and trimmed in the
following manner, using GearWall™ trim.
1.
Measure the outlet box or switch box location to edge of the cover.
2.
Cut the GearWall™ trim to the correct dimensions.
3.
Notch the top and bottom trim as shown so the fit is snug.
