Cat Wall™ Install

Orders come complete with an installation pack that contains the following:

2 Battens Per Tile
4 Fixings Per Batten
1 Drill Bit
1 Spirit Level

You will need a drill, medium size cross headed screwdriver & steel tape measure to install your Cat Wall™.

The fixing points on the battens are pre-drilled & it’s best to get a fixing through studs behind plasterboard - new holes can be drilled & countersunk through the battens if you need to set out Tiles to your own stud layout.

We recommend using 4 fixIngs per batten whether installing onto a plasterboard cavity, timber or masonry wall noting that you may need a specialist drill bit when drilling through a brick wall.

Please note that when setting out your Cat Wall™ there is some lateral adjustment in positioning when hanging Tiles - they can be hung off-centre up to 150mm left or right from the fixed battens, which can be a big help when fine tuning the batten layout for fixing into plasterboard studs

After you’ve set out & marked up the overall position of your Cat Wall™ start by installing the top Tile battens noting that the battens are numbered - this is because the battens are cut down from longer lengths so won’t be identical in length or drill hole positions

Install the battens for the remaining Tiles one-by-one below the top Tile battens - the setting out dimension between bottom batten of a Tile to the top batten of the Tile below is always 250mm

If installing Tiles adjacent to each other set out the top Tile battens first for each column & work down from these again in numbered batten order

Position the first batten for the top Tile & level out using the spirit level

Mark-up the fixing hole positions through the batten

Drill fixing holes at least 40mm deep

Tap in the insert plugs making sure they are flush with the wall surface & then fix batten - always ensure that that the specific numbered batten used to mark up fixing holes is then fixed in place

Set-out the position of the second batten for the top Tile by hanging a tap measure from the batten above

Mark-up the fixing hole positions

Drill fixing holes

Insert plugs & fix short batten

Repeat steps for the remaining Tile battens measuring from the top batten

Assemble the Cat Wall™ from the bottom up making sure that both battens on each Tile are located & locked together

Shelf hangers fit between Tiles & can be positioned at any point along the Tiles

Locate the grooves on the back of a Hard Shelf onto the sides of the hanger then work the front of the shelf over the front of the hanger to lock it into position - Soft Seat shelves should be wrapped around the hanger before it’s hung on the Tile

To re-position a Hard Shelf release the front edge of the hanger then lift the back away from the Tile - Soft Seat Shelves can be re-positioned without having to remove the felt seat

Tiles can be hung upside down by refitting the battens on the back of the Tile through 180° - as noted above the battens are not identical in terms of fixings hole locations so new counter sunk holes may need to be made to refix battens
