Installation Steps

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must be worn at all times when handling material and operating the power tools mentioned throughout this process. Review the PPE Matrix for further guidance.

Locate all parts based on the elevations and BOM. Ensure you have tracks, boards and trim.
Understand where on the wall the system will go.

Use the elevation indicators and measurements as a guide.
Locate studs and make marks for track securement points.

Using the countersink bit, pre-drill holes in the track pieces in alignment with stud locations.
Screw the first piece of the track to the wall and ensure it is level.

Start with the bottom piece.
If there are no studs within 3” of the end of the track piece, you will need to use a toggle and bolt at the end of the track.

If the design indicates a piece of ¼” board at the bottom below the bottom track, the “J” channel must be mounted at the bottom below the ¼” board. The bottom track’s groove is to then be placed along the top of the ¼” board. Continue the process from Step 4 onward.

Insert the board material.

Ensure it is fitting firmly in the track.

If you are having a hard time inserting the board, loosen the screws until it fits into the track and retighten the screws.

Repeat step 4 by placing the next track piece on top of the already installed piece. There is a groove in the track for them to fit together.
Repeat Step 5 and continue until all track and board pieces are secure on the wall.
Install trim pieces.

From the bottom to the top, the channel needs to cover the whole side on both sides of the system.
Pre-Drill the trim to line up with the center of the rib on the wall track.
Do not drill any screws in the end of the ribs.
Secure using ¾” self-tapping.
There should be at least 1 screw in each wall track.

If the trim pieces are not cut for you, you will need to cut the “L” channel to the height of the fusion wall using a miter saw.
