How to Install a Lincrusta Wainscot

You'll position the first panel out of a corner or against vertical molding, such as a door casing. Use the level to mark a plumb line where the side of the first panel will fall. Next, measure the horizontal distance from the plumb line back to the corner or molding, at the top and bottom. Transfer these measurements to the panel, making sure to align the factory-cut edge with the plumb line and the edge you will cut with the corner or molding. Use a utility knife guided by a straightedge to cut the panel to size.
