  How To Remove Panels Without Damaging The Wall

• If possible, ask a friend to help you. Having a second pair of hands to hold the panel whilst you remove it from the wall, will help to prevent any damage to the panel or the wall.

• First, ensure you and anyone helping you are safe. Rubberised gloves will help protect your hands as well provide a good grip, whilst eye googles will protect against any unexpected flying adhesive or wall panel.

• Turn off any nearby electrical outlets.

• Start by using a putty knife to gently pry the edges of the panel away from the wall

  to create an opening.

• Next, work your way around the panel, gently easing the panel away from the wall.

• If you have used a particularly strong adhesive, you may wish to use a heat gun to

  soften the glue. This should make it easier to remove from the wall.

• Once the panels have been removed, scrap off any remaining adhesive and clean

  the wall well with warm water.
