Here is how to transform your space in a single weekend.
You have selected the perfect design from the Jinbao WPC Wall Panel Collection, and now it is time to bring your vision to life. The good news? Unlike heavy stone or fragile ceramic tiles, WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) is incredibly user-friendly.
Whether you are a seasoned contractor or a DIY enthusiast, this guide will walk you through the preparation, installation, and finishing touches to ensure a flawless result.
To choose the best installation approach, you first need the right tools. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.
Before you start, ensure you have the following:
Measuring: Tape measure, spirit level, and pencil.
Cutting: Circular saw (for straight cuts) or a jigsaw (for socket cutouts).
Fixing: Structural adhesive (Liquid Nails), caulking gun, and stainless steel clips (if using the clip system).
Hardware: Electric drill and screws.
Your WPC Wall Panels are only as good as the wall behind them.
Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and flat.
If the wall is uneven, consider installing a wooden keel (grid) framework first to create a level surface.
Here is the standard procedure for installing our popular fluted and flat WPC panels.
Measure the height of your wall accurately. transfer these measurements to the back of the WPC panel. Cut the panel to size using a circular saw.
Pro Tip: Cut the panel 2-3mm shorter than the actual wall height to allow for natural thermal expansion.
There are two main methods:
Glue Method: Apply structural adhesive in a zig-zag pattern on the back of the panel. This is best for flat, dry walls.
Clip Method: For fluted panels, screw metal clips into the wall (or keel) at the groove edge. This holds the panel firmly while allowing for slight movement.
Place the first panel in the corner. Use a spirit level to ensure it is perfectly vertical. This is critical—if the first panel is crooked, the entire wall will be crooked.
Insert the tongue of the next panel into the groove of the previous one. The interlocking design hides the screws or clips, creating a seamless appearance. Repeat until the wall is covered.
The difference between a "DIY job" and a "Professional finish" lies in the details.
Don't leave raw edges exposed. Use matching L-shaped corner trims (available in our product list) to cover external corners. Apply a thin bead of glue and press the trim firmly into place.
Measure the position of electrical outlets carefully. Drill a starter hole, then use a jigsaw to cut out the rectangle. Install the panel, then mount the socket cover plate over the WPC for a clean look.
Problem: The panels are warping.
Solution: Did you let the panels acclimatize? Leave the panels in the room for 24 hours before installation so they adjust to the room's temperature.
Problem: Gaps appearing between panels.
Solution: Ensure the tongue is fully inserted into the groove. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap the panels together during installation.
Installing WPC Wall Panels is a rewarding project that instantly upgrades the value and aesthetic of your property. With the right tools and a little patience, you can achieve a professional look in just a few hours.

A: Yes, as long as the tiles are flat and securely attached. Clean the tiles thoroughly to remove grease, and use a high-strength structural adhesive (like liquid nails) to bond the WPC panels to the tile surface.
A: Not necessarily. WPC panels are designed for easy installation. If you have basic DIY skills and the right tools (saw, drill, glue), you can install them yourself. However, for large commercial projects, professional installation is recommended.
A: Use a fine-tooth saw blade (carbide-tipped is best). Cut with the finished side facing up if using a hand saw, or facing down if using a circular saw, to ensure a clean edge.
A: We recommend using a heavy-duty construction adhesive (often called "Liquid Nails") that is compatible with plastics. Silicone sealant can be used for sealing edges but not for the main bonding.
