are toward the exposed side of the wall material.

1. Prepare the Site

Ensure that the installation area is clean and free of all debris. If remodeling, remove all finished
wall material to expose the framing and remove all floor coverings to expose the subfloor.
Inspect the flooring at the installation site. Repair as necessary.
Make sure the subfloor and finished floors are flat and level.
