Wet Cladding
Please ensure the surface of the wall is as clean and
flat as possible and free from dirt while the panels
are being installed. The �ling pa�ern should be
marked on the walls prior to installing the panels. A
good quality �le adhesive must be used for
installa�on. The panels can be installed onto
concrete walls, plywood par��ons, gypsum
par��ons, etc. Please feel free to contact the
company for more details about the appropriate
adhesives that needs to be used based on the
available substrate.The back of the panels should be primed with a
priming liquid polymer before cladding them onto
the walls a few hours before installa�on. Bu�er the
back of the panel with a thin layer of the �le
adhesive. Using a notched trowel, apply the
adhesive onto the wall as shown in the image. Place
and press the panel firmly onto the wall.We recommend use of spacers while installing the
panels. The spacer gaps should be filled with
superior quality �le grout / sealant.
The Litheoz panels by Nuance Studio can be installed on various kind of walls using different installa�on methods, both
indoor and outdoor. Please follow the below installa�on guidelines:

Dry Cladding
Stud Impressions The walls should be fixed with good qualitywooden reapers / aluminium channels as shown in the
image using silicon sealant / PU foam and concrete
screws. Necessary packing must be provided behind the
wooden reapers / aluminium channels in order to
streamline the level differences in the wall to enable
installa�on of the wall panels. Incase of outdoor
installa�on, we strongly recommend usage of only
aluminium channels.
A hole must be bored in the centre of the stud impression
on the panel using a diamond impregnated drill bit. Avoid
usage of hammer or impact drill on the panels. Silicon Sealant / PU foam must be applied on the wooden
reapers / aluminium channels to conceal any air gaps
between the reepers and the panels. Firmly install the
panel onto the reepers using a self threading screw and
fix the flat studded steel screw cap onto the screw head.
Stud Impression Panels can be installed using Wet
Cladding system or Dry Cladding System.

Mechanical Anchoring System
Litheoz Panels by Nuance Studio can be dry clad using
undercut anchor systems such as Keil Anchors. Ver�cal
Aluminium ‘T’ profiles are installed onto the walls as
shown in the image (fig2). Horizontal interlocking ‘C’
Aluminum profiles are installed onto the T profiles to
enable sliding the panels in and locking them in place.
Similar interlocking ‘C’ profiles are installed onto the back
of the Litheoz Panels using undercut anchors at the
factory. The ‘C’ profiles fixed on the back of the panels
slide into the horizontal ‘C’ profiles that are installed on the
wall and are locked in posi�on.
