We suggest using a diamond-grit blade for cutting the material. A TSD180D 7” Tenryu circular blade is available for purchase through our office. Panels may be attached using self-tapping drywall screws or construction adhesive. Pre-drilling may be required for thicknesses 1.125” or greater. With proper pre-preparation, panels can be painted with oil or water based paints. Installation instructions are available upon request.
All joints need to be reinforced by a 4” batten strip.
