How To Install Laminate Planks Horizontally On A Wall 

Mark Humphreys nice

lol

@@e.milli-68 Cyclops needed a part-time job. Jean Grey spends all his money. :-)

You could put a thin layer of rubber first. That would cut back on vibrations

Make the necessary cuts...not sure what you mean?

That's what I'm going to do you sticky back ones

Just did that project, still need to use glue as the peel n stick is not designed to hold the weight of panel upright.

Yea.....and when your sick of the pergo you can just drywall over the pergo that’s over the paneling that’s on the original drywall

@@elizabethrosano3334 it was a joke relax

the planks have tongues and lips

I am wondering the same thing.

They all get clicked together just like in a floor install. The cuts are on the ends.

The cuts are along the sides to remove the tongues allowing for the wood to be all the way across

there is also a " rip" at the top. where the wood is horizontally cut because a full piece won't fit.

Professional way: Take the whole thing apart, sand it to a micron of it's life, wash with acetate-type remover to get off as much glue-type residue, (depending what cabinet was used for or where it's being used you may want to spray with warm water/borax* mixture to prevent mildew/mold) wash with water and let dry completely, then a last superfine grit sandpaper for the paint to adhere to. If it's going to hold food* it's a good idea to do a primer coat with an anti-mold component. If it's going to have stuff drip on it consider a marine (water repellent) paint. The EZ way: take apart completely, cover with peel-n-stick cabinet paper or spray paint with "sticks-to-plastic" on the label.

You just better damn well make sure you hit studs with your tv mount ....or your gonna get a big surprise

It's not the material itself that moves, it's the wall itself with 2x4 beams behind it that moves. They expand and contract with the humidity. If you don't leave a gap, you risk having the laminate panel squished when the wall expands.

@@Patty747 Which makes more sense to me, but all of the literature I read says that the material itself expands and contracts.

@@barbarianatgate2000 possible a bit of both.e every floating floor product I've installed has instructions to have the material acclimate to the room for at least 24 hrs before installation. which implies that it is the flooring that is expanding/contracting.

lol

Lowe's has many discounted boxes and returns in the flooring department

Have you tried Lumber Liquidators or Build Direct? Or, get old pallets, take them apart and nail them on. If you stain them first you can create interesting patterns of your own design.

Prefab wall. Too expensive.

FattyFrog they said not to :,0

I am currently in the middle of doing this myself. You will want to take off the current paneling, put up drywall and then install from there.

Just prime and paint your paneling, it will look fabulous.

There might be drywall behind your existing paneling. If not, I would first take down the paneling, install the drywall, sealing the joints. They don't need a perfect finish but should be at least flat. Then install the laminate. Paneling itself is very flimsy and will move too much to hold the laminate. Most likely the paneling is on top of older drywall or a plaster wall.

Nana Adams I might as well give up on life if I cannot learn and successfully install laminate flooring! 😂

Save your money and do it yourself. Specialists won't be this careful.

I've installed two laminate floors myself, it's very easy. I never installed on a wall, but will definitely be doing this for an accent wall.
