Has anyone used laminate wood look planks to accent a wall?

Hi Laurie, I used peel and stick laminate wood and it looks great! I know there are tons of people doing it. Here's a link with lots of pictures of how nice it can look: https://www.google.com/search?q=laminate+wood+look+planks+to+accent+a+wall?&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS781US781&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj1tJO8i77bAhVC11MKHQ0FDk8QsAQImQI&biw=1600&bih=794

Good luck!

Hi Laurie. I have not actually done this job but I have done some research on it for another Home Talker. First snap a chalk line on the wall for each stud. Start hanging the planks at the bottom of the wall. You should stagger the seams. You can cut the planks with a circular saw. You don't need to use the vapor barrier since it will be installed on a wall. Leave approx a sixteenth of an inch on all sides to allow for expansion and contraction. Cover that space with some sort of trim when job is complete. You will have many choices of trim to choose from at your local home improvement store. Purchase 10% extra material to allow for mistakes and waste. I hope you find this info helpful. Best of luck to you.

Yes, you need to make a framework to pin or stick the Laminate to.
