The paneling, purchased on sale, only cost about $60 for this small bathroom, and the trim all came from the Habitat for Humanity ReStore for pocket change (one big perk of working on such a small room was that it was easy to find enough trim second hand!) The tongue-in-groove joint on this type of paneling proved useful to secure the next piece while drying. Instead, I’d glue up one panel, wait for the glue to set a bit, glue up the next panel, etc. Liquid Nails worked great, but required some patience since I was concerned about the combined weight of the panels peeling off the wall if I added them all at once. On my second attempt, I used lighter, more flexible MDF beadboard panels (which also come in MDF shiplap style panels) which went up must faster due to the smaller, lighter weight interlocking sections which were easily adhered using Liquid Nails. I had to scrap this material, but luckily there’s no shortage of good uses for sturdy beadboard and it ended up having a second life in a store display. Getting the paneling to adhere to the tile proved a challenge, and I’ll confess my first attempt at this project involved heavy 4×8 sheets of plywood-beadboard which proved too heavy to adhere to the wall without nails & screws. (You’ll need a caulking gun too, but they’re only about $6. Drilling through tile is difficult, messy, and requires special tools, but Liquid Nails can securely and permanently adhere wood or paneling even to slick tile. I discovered during this project that the trick to installing paneling, beadboard, or shiplap over tile is to bypass the use of nails/screws. To minimize the potential for moisture to wander and mold to grow, the paneling all received two coats of an oil-based waterproof primer and then commercial-grade super-flexible caulking along the full length of every tongue and groove joints- paired with calking at top, bottom, and corners, hopefully locking out moisture long term (2019 update: so far NO issues!) The hack for installing paneling or shiplap over tile: Total Materials Cost to Cover Tile with MDF Paneling: $63.00īefore starting, I researched “installing paneling or shiplap over tile” and discovered the main issue to be wary about with this approach is the potential for moisture to find its way between the tile and the paneling. Minimum slope of 3:12 for roof applications.Photo of the room after the mirror and vanity had been removed and cabinet had the first coat of primer applied. Only basic sheet metal tools are required to work with these products. Thermal gain and movement is not an issue, as the small size of each tile means movement will be minimal. No sealant is required for the tiles’ breathable joints. This system installs directly over plywood or elevated channels using concealed fasteners. The interlocking tiles are formed using progressive tooling to create a uniform and cost-effective cladding solution. The tiles can be applied to either commercial or residential environments, and are covered by the PAC-CLAD 30-year finish warranty. Designed to enhance architectural design, the tiles add dimension to the exterior of any structure. The stamped tiles can be applied to roof or wall installations, and are offered in three styles including Cupped, Flat and Diamond. The Precision Series Tiles collection from Petersen includes three metal tile profiles that offer designers, specifiers and installers an alternative to roll-formed panel-style cladding.
