Step 1: Measuring and Testing
Measure the wall to check what size you need the plastic wall panels to be. Next, measure out the wall panel itself, with the finished side up, and mark the measurements onto the surface of the panel. What you use to cut the panel depends on the type of panel itself. If it’s hard plastic, you’ll need to use a hacksaw. If the plastic is softer, you should be able to use tin snips. The best means of testing the panel for cutting is to take a scrap piece of the plastic wall panel and try the tin snips first. If the panel is too hard, it will quickly snap or crack. If it’s too soft, the plastic will stretch a little when cut with tin snips.
