Questions & Answers

General Questions

Can CrownCore^TM be used with CrownWall^® slatwall and accessories?

Easily combine CrownCore^TM wall and ceiling panels with the CrownWall^® slatwall panels using the available 2 piece transition trim.

Do you sell individual slats?

No.

What is the depth (thickness) of the panels?

The panels are ⅜” inch thick.

Can CrownCore^TM be used on the exterior as siding?

This product is designed for interior use only. Severe exterior weather will make the PVC brittle.

How do I clean CrownCore^TM?

We recommend cleaning CrownCore^TM with a damp cloth and any gentle dish soap. For stubborn stains use a magic sponge or WD40.

Can these panels be painted?

They can be painted with a regular latex paint. However the paint will scratch very easily.

No.

Do these look nice enough to use in a retail application?

Definitely! This product has been used for numerous retail applications.

Where are these panels made?

CrownCore^TM is manufactured in Canada.

Installation Questions

Can CrownCore^TM be installed on metal studs? If so, does it affect the weight it can hold?

Yes, you must use self-tapping (self-drilling) drywall screws for installation over metal studs.

Concrete or Cinder Block Installation

To fasten CrownCore^TM panels directly to concrete or cinder blocks:

Predrill holes with a bit designated for concrete - Do not drill into brick joints and grout lines as these are weak points.
Fasten CrownCore^TM Panels with minimum 2" (5 cm) flathead #8 concrete screws (not included), while following the same installation steps as with conventional wall studs.
A minimum of 1" concrete embedding must be achieved.

Can I install directly on studs?

We advise that you check local building codes, but yes, the panels can be installed directly on studs.

How do you uninstall CrownCore^TM?

To uninstall panels, simply follow the installation steps in reverse. Start removing the last trim or panel installed by removing screws and removing the panels one at a time by backing out the screws and pulling out the panels.

How do you install over electrical outlets?

To make cutouts (for outlets) we recommend a multi-tool. An electrical box extender is recommended.

When and how should an F-trim be used?

F-Trims are to be used for both inside and outside 90 degree corners.

Helpful Tips

Tip - Don’t over tighten the screws as it makes it difficult to clip the next panel overtop of the one you just installed.
