How to Attach MDF Panels to Wall?

Here is how to attach MDF board to wall:

1. First, check the wall size and the furniture near it. 

2. Decide how high the panels should go. 

3. Measure the wall carefully and mark the top line using a pencil and a spirit level. 

4. Use a straight edge to keep the line even.

5. Next, plan the panel layout. 

6. Measure the gaps between panels so they look balanced on the wall. 

7. Mark all panel positions lightly on the wall. 

8. Check sockets, switches, or vents and plan panels so they fit around them without cutting if possible.

9. Buy MDF sheets and cut them into strips based on your measurements. 

10. Lay all strips on the floor to check the order and fit. 

11. Trim the pieces if needed so they are straight and equal in size.

12. Clean the wall to remove dust. Apply strong construction adhesive in a zigzag pattern on the back of the first MDF strip. 

13. Press it firmly onto the wall along the marked line. Tap gently with a hammer and a wooden block to secure it. Use a spirit level to keep it straight.

14. Repeat the same process for all vertical and horizontal panels. Always check alignment before the adhesive dries. Where walls are uneven, carefully trim the MDF to match the wall shape.

15. After fixing all panels, fill small gaps with wall filler or caulk. Smooth it with your finger. Let it dry fully.

16. Prime all MDF surfaces. After priming, paint the panels in your chosen colour. Allow the paint to dry, and the MDF wall panelling is complete.

I hope you now understand how to attach MDF to wall properly.
