How to Install Board and Batten Up a Staircase Wall · Step 4 of 8
In this video
Measure the exact lengths for each vertical batten, ensuring they fit snugly between the newly installed horizontal trim and your existing baseboard. Cut these pieces with precision using your cross-cut saw. Apply a continuous bead of construction adhesive to the back of each batten. Position each batten on the wall at your pre-planned spacing, using a level to ensure it's plumb (perfectly vertical). Secure them in place with the finishing nail gun. Since it's unlikely every batten will align with a wall stud, the construction adhesive is crucial for a strong, lasting bond.
