Installation of Wall Panel Huntonit Skygge

[VisselRichard]

We are going to install wall panels and wonder how to make the panel even. The house is old, so the raw wood walls are not straight. I was thinking of installing studs and mounting the panel boards against them. Will it work to just mount the boards against the studs and hope that the seams are somewhat flat? Will it look bad, or in the worst case, will it make the installation less durable? Or should I find where the wall is "highest," set the first stud there, and adjust the height of the other studs accordingly? Or should I skip the studs entirely and mount the panels directly on the wood wall - according to the manufacturer, that should be possible.

If you're going to set studs, you might as well straighten the wall so you have a straight surface to attach them to?

VLJ - how do you recommend straightening the wall? I'd prefer not to use putty or similar. After reading some other threads on the forum, it seems almost easier to mount horizontal studs against the floor and ceiling and use these as a base for the vertical studs. I haven't checked how much the wall is skewed vertically and horizontally.

I had used an adjustment screw for alignment and if the panel is to be mounted on vertical studs, I would probably have attached them directly to the timbered wall.
