Huntonit pro wall help, tips and advice

[Linnea Lundh]

Hello! I'm renovating a bedroom and the plan is to put Huntonit proffsvägg on the walls and sloped ceiling. I've torn down the old tretex. Behind it is a plank wall. How large uneven spots can the boards handle? It will be wallpapered later, so if the seams aren’t completely perfect it’s not a big deal, I think. I'm also wondering what to do with the sloped ceiling (which in this case will be a wall), should I bevel the short sides and lay them flush, or should I install with movement space there too? I find the mounting instructions available to read are lacking. Any other tips and tricks from those who have used these boards are gratefully received 😊

It's usually possible to bend drywall quite a bit. Huntonit, not sure, but you'll notice.

Movement in the joints can be avoided by screwing seams into studs. And the planks should work the same way. They would place a seam right on a plank.

Maybe there will be more cracks with huntonit? Usually, it's drywall.

In the past, they used masonite and nailed strips on the seams. That worked too!
