You don't have to build an entire closet addition to have the luxury of a cedar closet. Every existing closet has the potential to become an effective cedar storage space by using a CedarSafe Natural ClosetLiner. You choose the look you want, measure your space, use our closet planner application to determine how many panels you need, and install it in a matter of hours. It's that easy. Our panels are available as individual 1/4" x 4'x8' panels or as a Project Pak of four (4) 1/4" x 16"x48" panels. Installation is a do-it-yourself project that requires a claw hammer, tri-square, saw, and nails or adhesive.

Installation of CedarSafe Panels

Preparation:
Clear walls of nails, hooks, shelf brackets, etc. Walls should be as smooth as possible.

Tools needed:
Medium-weight claw hammer, tri-square, fine-toothed handsaw, miter box (optional)

Nails needed:
1-1/4" (31.75 mm) colored paneling nails for installation over gypsum wallboard. In older homes with plaster and lath, longer nails may be needed. (If splitting occurs, predrill holes for nails. Subfloor adhesive can be used alone or with nails if so desired.)

Step 1
Separate the panels and allow them to acclimate for about 24 hours near the area where they will be installed.

Step 2
Leave at least 1/8" space between each panel, the floor and the ceiling. The 1/8" spacing will allow for the natural expansion and contraction of the panels.

Step 3a
Using 1-1/4" panel nails, space nails 6" apart on panel edges and 12" apart in center, nailing panel from left to right.

Step 3b
Using subfloor adhesive, apply along stud lines and at top and bottom of panel. Be sure to read and follow the manufacturer's safety and ventilation instructions when using adhesives. (If you choose to use adhesive, subfloor adhesive is recommended because it will provide a solid bond which will not be weakened by the natural cedar oil present in the panels.)

Step 4
Install Giles & Kendall cedar molding for a professional finish.

NOTE
Do not stain or varnish. Visit our page on cedar care and maintenance to learn more.
