Installation Instructions for Norlock Walls
1. Fasten the 1 3/8” U channel down to the floor or curb where you
wish for the PVC wall to stand.
2. Using a level, draw a line from the outside edge of the channel,
up to the ceiling.
3. Step three will differ, depending on the ceiling type. If the
ceiling is a strapped ceiling with a form of PVC panel, you can most
likely run the channel across the entire length of where you will be
standing the wall. If the ceiling is finished in plywood, or a poly
coated plywood, you will only be able to lay 20’ of channel at a
time. Remember to use a chalk line to keep it straight.
4. Now you may begin sliding your panels into place. Always start
the first piece with the groove entering the channel on the “back”
wall. If the ceiling has some give, (look back to the first part of
step three), you can hold the panel on an angle and place the bottom
tongue corner into the channel. Then slightly twist the panel and
place the one side of the top groove corner into the channel.
Straighten the panel and stand it completely vertically up.
5. Slide the first panel’s groove into the “back” wall channel.
(Small pry bars may be needed, because the channel fits really
snug).
6. Put a ¾” – 1 ½” SS screw into the top and bottom corner ensuring
that the panel will stay in place.
7. Repeat the second half of step four and slide the next panel’s
groove, on the tongue of the first panel.
8. Take a piece of wood, (ideally a 4” X 4” X 4 foot long) and place
its side on the edge of the second panel’s ledge, right beside the
tongue. Using a large hammer, or sledge hammer, tap the wood,
starting at the bottom, and working your way to the top until the
tongue and groove are completely locked together.
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 down the length of you wall, leaving the
last two panels out.
10. When you get to the last two panels, measure the length of
channel that is need on the ceiling to complete the wall. Also
measure a piece of channel for the “front wall” Cut your two pieces
of channel. Take these pieces of channel and run them through a
table saw, slightly favoring one side. Now you should have “L”
shaped pieces, with one “L” piece bigger than the other. Take this
“L” piece and fasten it to the ceiling and “front” wall.
11. Now place your second to last piece of panel and place it in the
bottom channel, and lock it into the wall. You should now look up at
the ceiling and see one side of the panel is not covered with
channel.
12. Measure your last panel, (sometimes you may need to run it
trough the table saw, depending on the length of the wall.) Keep in
mind that when you are measuring the last panel, you must take into
account that the tongue of the second to last panel will be covered
by the grove of the last panel. DO NOT RIP THIS PANEL TOO SHORT.
13. Set your last panel into the bottom channel and snap it into
place. Sometimes small pry bars are needed to get the last panel
into place.
14. Using ¾ - 1 ½” SS Screws, screw the last two panels to the “L”
shaped channel on the ceiling and “front” wall.
15. Take the smaller “L” shaped piece of channel and cap the last
two panels and screw nail them into place.
Good Luck!
