Install the panel at the lowest point to meet your control line with the backside of the system slightly proud of the plumb line.
Install the first panel in a critical transition area like a corner.
Due to the nature of the panels it is strongly recommended that the panels are not used to bear any load you should screw through to the supporting wall so that the wall itself is supporting the weight and the items are just sitting flush against the.
