Can this be installed instead of sheetrock over framed wall? Also can these panels be cut to size at all?

I asked Gladiator the same question when I built my garage and they were not helpful. Gladiator wall panels have a UL listing but local building codes require sheetrock for fire protection. I installed my gladiator panels over the sheetrock since I could not get a definitive answer.

Cutting is fairly simple using a circular saw and you can install sans Sheetrock.

Yes to both questions, although having the layer of sheetrock would be preferable.

you might want to use thumb tacks to put on wall. it is sticky. yes it can ce trimmed down.

Cutting the panel length down maybe be possible, but would reduce the output of the panel proportionally to the amount of lost length. Also the complete panel is comprised of multiple smaller flexible panels so you would likely have to cut along these divisions to have sucess and reduce the risk of trashing the whole panel. I would advise you to buy a shorter, lower wattage panel if you has space restrictions.

1 panel is about 2 feet wide so you can BUT you have to cut other parts to match it and do the predrilling... and may not be easy.

I did have to cut it some, in Ga we have 2x4 studded walls. seems like 10",, or 12"These things were probably made to serve even up north where houses have 2x6 walls.

Yes, you can. That's where I installed mine. If you have siding on your exterior wall, you may want to to cut it out where the box will go.

It would depend on the stud spacing. I mounted it to a scrap 2x8 and then screwed the 2x8 to the studs thru my sheetrock wall with 4inch lag screws. It made a nice clean installation. You can drill thru the 2x8 at whatever stud spacing you happen to have.

It depends on how you choose to arrange the panels, but I think it would be fine. If I could do it again, I would cut from the top rather than the bottom.

Yes you can! I cut each one out and applied them where they fit best on the wall. Turned out really nice!

as a child's project; a paper drawing or a 3 X 5 photo without a frame, that you would want to remove later these could be an option. to use for a semi-permenate decor option I would not use them that way. be sure the wall is really clean to increase the adhesion.

Its not easy, but it can be done. I have a thin, black frame around one of mine, but it is a little clunky.

The track is not adjustable if you want to change the distance from the wall. It would be a chore to cut the steel and make it look nice if you are talking about adjusting the length. I have more length than I need, I used a 24" door, but it looks nice. I used a regular door about 1 3/4". As long as it is not too thin so it would split when the screws are put in to hold the rolling mechanism or too thick that it would hit the wall. How thick are the wood panels you talking about?

The product is not meant to add panels to it. However, if you have some skill, you could possibly add panels. There are metal brackets holding the panels together. You could remove them, add additional panels, and add new brackets. I would not recommend trying this until you have replacement brackets found and on hand. One bracket came off of mine, and I used pliers to squeeze the metal bracket together.Basically, as in most things, you can modify it, but it depends on whether you want to.

It can be done if you are a pretty good carpenter. You would have to make some framing adjustments, sort of like building a picture frame to fill in the space. Not easy but it can be done.

Not sure why you are covering brick but yes you can install it over any surface just make sure that you put the recommended amount of screws per panel covering brick each screw needs to be predrilledYes you can but lots of predrilling

I dont see any way you could overlap the two pieces unless you were ok with the width of the unit being spaced that distance from the wall you were hanging it on. Of course you would need more hardware (spacers) than what is included to do that. Probably not a great idea. On a positive note, I find one panel to be a lot of space.

use anchor bolts thru the sheetrock or find the stud in the wall and use longer wood screwws to attach
