Best way to install tongue and groove panelling

Question

I've seen tongue and groove wood panelling videos where they secure panels straight to the wall and attach them to batons. Which is the right way to panel? Does it matter?

Mick · Answer

Best is to baton out and then fit t & g tongue first from left to right if you'reright handed, then panel pin groove. repeat!

Martin · Answer

Batons go horizontally no more than 600 mm centres.Panels vertically with tongue to the wall where you are starting them working left to right always.

Hi mo yes that is one way to do it with battens but it would depend  on how big the room is as battens are normally  around an inch thick i personally  use a no more nails and stick to the wall with small panel pins to hold level and remove them once adhesive  is dry and fill any holes regards rob rs home improvements

Fit it any way you l!ke.You can get clips that let you fit it without showing nails

Gavin · Answer

Yes the battens let the air flow through if fitted straight to a wall they would twist and eventually come away

Jason · Answer

Good to panel onto batons but make sure when you fix them the tongue is facing up so water can run over them and not inside

Lewis · Answer

It all depends on what your wall is made of? But mainly you would use wooden batons so you have set fixing points.

Fix the 2 by 1 battons on the wall at approx 40cm  centres these need to be installed the opposite way to the planks, then you secret pin through the shoulder of the tongue

Paul · Answer

Dosnt really matter which way just make sure u have a fair few battens to fasten them to has tongue n groove moves with the heat and cold

Jamie · Answer

Hi, yes counter baton the wall and depending on what your using to fix the t&g space them between 400mm-600mm. Top tip if you use some small Brad nails on the tongue as you slide the next one over you’ll conceal the fixings, saving time and money on decorating. Hope that helps
