Before installing wall panels: Measurement, spacing, and maintenance

The site is part of the design

Planning for decorative wall panel installation begins with understanding the existing wall. Gather measurements, surface photos, locations of openings and utilities, and any available plans. Inform the project team whether the finishing work is complete or underway, as the order of work affects coordination and delivery.

See panel division

Request a drawing showing the piece numbers, orientations, spacing, and edges. Review the finish lines at the ceiling, floor, and doors, and how to handle corners. This drawing facilitates communication between the design, manufacturing, and installation teams, and reduces reliance on interpreting a general image on-site.

Leave room for services and maintenance.

Having a socket or light point behind cladding requires a clear decision. Determine how access will remain available when needed, and who is responsible for coordinating electrical or other work. Do not install a component over a service that requires maintenance before checking accessibility with a professional.

Installation approval prior to implementation

The choice of mounting system depends on the weight of the panel, the material, the type of wall, and the application conditions. Therefore, no single solution is suitable for all projects, and appropriate details should be obtained from specialists. When discussing 3D-printed panels with Fused, provide site data and specify whether design and manufacturing are required only, or if the scope includes other work. Delivery is clearly defined when each party's responsibilities and deliverables are outlined.
