How do I attach VJ panels to a wall that is double brick, plastered and painted?

Love everyone’s panel photos, they look fantastic.

 I would like to do a feature wall in our bedroom, our house is double brick that haas been plastered and then painted. Can I glue the panels straight to the wall?

Hello @Completenovice

Thank you for sharing your question about mounting EasyVJ panels. It is recommended by the manufacturer to install a timber batten frame onto the brick wall. However, if you are running into space and installation problems, I suggest using STAHL Masonry Kit 7mm Drill With 50mm Green Wall Plugs in combination with Liquid Nails Adhesive. You'll need to mark the position on the panel and the brick wall where you'll be placing the wall plugs and screws to keep everything lined up. 

Once the panels are in place you can cover the screw heads with some Parfix 500g Ready To Use Multipurpose Filler. Once the filler dries off, you can then sand it down and paint the panels to your preferred colour.

Please keep us updated with your progress, we look forward to seeing your EasyVJ panels installed.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
