Here is how to achieve a luxury stone look without the heavy lifting.
You have chosen Jinbao UV Wall Panels for their stunning marble aesthetic and durability. Now comes the exciting part: transforming your space.
Many homeowners assume they need expensive contractors to install wall cladding. However, one of the biggest advantages of UV panels is that they are lightweight and easy to work with. Whether you are a seasoned contractor or a first-time DIYer, this guide will walk you through the process of creating a flawless feature wall.
Success lies in the preparation. Before you open the first box, ensure you have the right setup.
Measuring Tape & Pencil: Accuracy is key.
Cutting Tool: A circular saw (with a fine-tooth blade) for clean cuts, or a sharp utility knife for thinner (2-3mm) sheets.
Adhesive: High-quality structural adhesive (Liquid Nails) or neutral silicone sealant.
Double-Sided Foam Tape: Holds the panel in place while the glue sets.
Level: To ensure your panels are perfectly vertical.
Caulking Gun: For applying the adhesive.
Ensure the wall surface is flat, dry, and clean.
For Concrete/Drywall: Wipe away dust.
For Old Tiles: Clean off any grease or oil.
Uneven Walls: If the wall is very uneven, consider installing a wooden frame (furring strips) first to create a level base.
Follow this proven method for a secure and professional finish.
Measure your wall height and mark the cut line on the back of the UV panel.
Pro Tip: Always cut from the back side to protect the glossy UV coating from chipping. If using a circular saw, use a guide rail for a straight edge.
This is the "Hybrid Method" used by pros:
Apply strips of Double-Sided Foam Tape vertically along the back of the panel.
Apply Structural Adhesive (Glue) in a zigzag pattern between the tape strips.
Why? The tape holds the panel instantly (immediate tack), while the glue cures over 24 hours for a permanent bond.
Carefully lift the panel (it’s light!) and place it against the wall.
Use your Level immediately to check alignment.
Press firmly along the areas where the tape and glue are applied to ensure contact.
Once all panels are installed and the glue has set, peel off the transparent protective film from the front. This is the most satisfying moment!
How you handle the seams determines if it looks like "DIY" or "High-End Design."
Use aluminum alloy decorative lines.
H-Trim: Hides the seam between two flat panels.
L-Trim (External Corner): Covers the sharp 90-degree outer corners.
Internal Corner Trim: For inside corners.
Style: Available in Gold, Silver, or Black to match the luxury look of Jinbao UV Wall Panels.
Butt the panels tightly against each other.
Technique: Ensure the cut edges are perfectly straight. You can use a color-matched caulk or filler to blend the microscopic gap, creating a "seamless" stone slab effect.
Problem: The wall is not 90 degrees straight.
Solution: Measure the width at the top, middle, and bottom. Cut the panel to fit the specific curve of the wall rather than a perfect rectangle.
Problem: The panel is sliding down.
Solution: You didn't use enough double-sided tape. Use masking tape to hold the panel in place externally for 24 hours until the glue dries.
Installing UV Wall Panels is a straightforward process that rewards patience and precision. By following these steps, you can save significantly on labor costs while achieving a 5-star hotel finish in your own home.

A: For panels 3mm or thinner, yes. Score the surface deeply multiple times using a straight edge, then snap it like a drywall sheet. For thicker panels, a power saw is recommended.
A: Yes! As long as the tiles are secure and not loose, you can glue the UV panels directly onto them. Clean the tiles thoroughly with alcohol or degreaser first to ensure the glue bonds well.
A: If you are using metal H-trims, leave a gap corresponding to the trim's thickness (usually 1-2mm). If you are doing a seamless look, butt them as close as possible.
A: We recommend a high-grab, solvent-free construction adhesive (often called "Liquid Nails") or a neutral silicone sealant. Avoid water-based glues as they take too long to dry for non-porous surfaces.
