Get Inspired
Cozy up to your favorite Instagram feeds or Pinterest boards for ideas. There is no shortage of barn wood love to be found!
Here are a couple of my recent faves I’ve been daydreaming about:
Measure Your Space
Don’t let the math intimidate you. Measuring your square footage is easy.
Height (inches) x Width (inches) ÷ 144 = Your Square Footage
*We recommend adding 5% extra for waste.
OR
Use our friendly square footage calculator.
ONCE YOUR PLANK & MILL BOXES ARRIVE...
- Open one end of the cardboard box and remove the bundles. Each bundle contains 10 square feet.
- Allow the planks to acclimate by placing them in the area in which you are installing for 48-72 hours. Leave the ends wrapped with plastic. If you are in a drier climate—like Arizona, give it an extra day.
- Install a small test piece to make sure our adhesive and your current painted surface are friends. Here’s some tips on installing a test piece. (link)
- To begin, clean your surface of all debris with a damp towel or vacuum attachment and ensure it is completely dry.
- Remove the plastic from the ends of all your bundles and layout your pattern on the floor.
- Be sure to incorporate planks from different bundles to create a mix of colors.
- We recommend beginning your project in the bottom corner and working your way up.
