How to Install a Lincrusta Wainscot

Measure the cutoff of the last installed panel. Transfer this measurement to a plumb line adjacent to the corner on the next wall run. Only remove as much material as necessary to position the cutoff on the plumb line; trim the piece, holding the utility knife at a 45-degree angle. This beveling will take down the cutoff's high relief and allow it to tuck into the corner, making a tight seam with the adjacent wall.
