To cut wall panels you will need - pencil - ruler - tape measure and your chosen cutting tool. Options for cutting tools include -
- Tenon saw or Hand Saw (You can use either but please ensure the saw has a fine tooth pattern for a clean cut)
- Jigsaw (A jigsaw is great for cutting curves or patterns but we do recommend a fine tooth blade)
- Stanley Knife (A sharp Stanley knife will give a perfect clean cut, please ensure you are using a stable flat surface when cutting)
- Circular Saw or Chop Saw (Both can be used but the blade can often give a coarse/rough cut so please test first)
