    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/48077"&gt;@SPP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;From an installation point of view, it would be better to drill into the timber wall or timber frame of the window rather than gluing or drilling into the aluminium. The reason for this is that any error made on the timber surface can be repaired and filled in.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The same can't be said for the aluminium frame. Not only will it be difficult to remove the adhesive, but it might also damage the finish on its surface. If you're worried about the hollow nature of the VJ panels, I suggest using &lt;A href="https://www.bunnings.com.au/ramset-8-x-50mm-universal-anchor-4-pack_p2260443" target="_blank"&gt;Ramset 8 x 50mm Universal Anchor - 4 Pack&lt;/A&gt;. But it is always prudent to check behind your wall just in case there is a stud behind it.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I want to rip off my old MDF walls and place brand new VJ Panels onto the timber frame.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;From the videos I have seen, the timber frame needs to have a set spacing.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Can someone here explain why the timber frame needs to have set spacing. What if the spacing I have is not as per VJ Panel manufacturer specification. What can I do in this regard?&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Regards&lt;BR /&gt;Sree&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Good morning&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/48077"&gt;@SPP&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;A warm welcome to the Bunnings community page &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/html/@45A9845BB027EC316189AE2CA43B1C27/images/emoticons/Smile.png" alt=":smile:" title=":smile:" /&gt; There are a bunch of questions and answers about VJ paneling. I have an old version on one wall that I need to replace and probarly shall with the new version &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/html/@45A9845BB027EC316189AE2CA43B1C27/images/emoticons/Smile.png" alt=":smile:" title=":smile:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any chance of a couple of pictures of tyhe wall/s you are refering to? Also the spacing of the frames are usually done to rule so they should match what the VJ paneling needs. (Even if you have built the wall yourself) Do you happen to know your spacing within the frame?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The only reason I can think that there is a required spaceing is so that there is structual support with no flexing of the paneling.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You could use a stud finder to find the studs before you remove the mdf if you dont know the spacing. If the studs are too far apart then you could add some more studs before installing the VJ panel.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;One question that popped into mind, Is there a reason you are not installing the VJ paneling over the MDF?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Dave&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/48077"&gt;@SPP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks for sharing your question regarding the installation of EasyVJ panels. Frame spacing is required when installing certain Easycraft panels. But all of this can be bypassed by installing directly over your existing MDF wall. This is on the condition that your wall is straight and does not have dips and bows on its surface.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Here are some amazing bedroom makeover projects using EasyVJ panels:&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In regards to installing the panels directly to the timber frame of your house, I suggest having a look at page 6 of the installation guide. There are specific instructions on what to do when joining panels when there is no stud in the vicinity.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks Eric.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I am adding insulation and re-doing wiring so it doesn't make sense for me to place VJ Panels over the existing walls.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks Dave.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;As mentioned in my reply to Eric I am re-doing the wiring and adding in some insulation so it doesn't make sense to use the previous walls.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My plan was to get a pry bar and take off the current walls and see how far apart the studs are.&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="20231220_073751.jpg" style="width: 1170px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/85862iE0077472AD9F9D56/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="20231220_073751.jpg" alt="20231220_073751.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In anycase, since I am adding insulation the current walls will have to come off.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Good morning&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/48077"&gt;@SPP&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Makes sense, one thing to throw in if you are removing the cover to that level, is to run in some network cable or run in some extra holes through the base plate if you have access to underneath the floor and a thick drawwire. I was think the wall might be plasterboard until I saw above the door and down the hall &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/html/@45A9845BB027EC316189AE2CA43B1C27/images/emoticons/Smile.png" alt=":smile:" title=":smile:" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Looks like it will be a nice project to do and so nice to have modern outlets where you want them!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Dave&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/48077"&gt;@SPP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks for sharing the extra details about your renovation project. Once you have you wall panels removed you'll have a much better idea of the wall studs spacing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Please keep us updated with your progress, we look forward to seeing the start of your project.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you need further assistance, please let us know.&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Good Evening&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/48077"&gt;@SPP&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The longer the bar the easier it will be is the way Id look at it, Your bar is only 380mm long, so you need a lot more effort applied. If you had a 600mm plus bar you will need a lot less effort. Think of a seasaw type pivet and shuffling the hinge point back and fourth. The longer the fulcrum (couldnt think of the word at first lol) the easier it will be.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Have you checked your walls for asbestos? Just asking because you mentioned mdf and the photo of the wall makes me think its an older house. I was thinking Fibro style sheets. Prob its not and I am being over cautious but no harm in checking.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Dave&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/36305"&gt;@Dave-1&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I did have asbestos testing performed. The walls are MDF.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;What about having a chisel to take off the architraves?&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Regards&lt;BR /&gt;Sree&lt;/P&gt;</description>

You can use a chisel no probs, Id use the chisel with a mallet and then lay the head of a claw hamer down under the chisel when leavering so it distributes the force and les slike to damage and more likely to lever it off. Keep the old arcjitraves for reference until you put them back or replace. I always mark the back of the strips with a texta so I know wheich wall they come from.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Actually envious as I think this is a good Christmas break job to start &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/html/@45A9845BB027EC316189AE2CA43B1C27/images/emoticons/Smile.png" alt=":smile:" title=":smile:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Dave&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello &lt;SPAN style="color:var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/48077"&gt;@SPP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I suspect that aside from nails or screws holding your wall in, adhesive might have been applied to it as well. It might also be necessary to use a hammer in combination with your demolition bar. I also suggest having a look at &lt;A href="https://www.bunnings.com.au/fiskars-pro-isocore-2-4kg-demolition-tool_p0119103" target="_blank"&gt;Fiskars Pro Isocore 2.4kg Demolition Tool&lt;/A&gt;. It has multiple functions integrated into the bar and has a lifetime warranty.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Please make sure to wear personal protection such as gloves, goggles and a mask when working on your renovation.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you need further assistance, please let us know.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Eric&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have some updates&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/25445"&gt;@EricL&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/36305"&gt;@Dave-1&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I have managed to remove a part of a wall. Please see attached photos.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="20231223_205310.jpg" style="width: 1170px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/86058iBE3310FBEE954D90/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="20231223_205310.jpg" alt="20231223_205310.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="20231223_182642.jpg" style="width: 749px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/86059iE9DC3801DEFF8BB7/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="20231223_182642.jpg" alt="20231223_182642.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In terms of what needs to happen from here:&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;1) Keep removing the walls.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;2) Clean up all the dust/debris.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;3) Remove all nails in current studs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;4) Get a VJ Panel from Bunnings and attempt to put it into the walls.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;What else would you suggest I do?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;It sounds like you're on track &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/48077"&gt;@SPP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Once you've removed the MDF panel, you can follow this guide: &lt;A href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&amp;amp;v=7tcO8yYM0zg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;U&gt;EasyVJ Installation&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/A&gt;. I suspect that since you appear to have rather standard stud spacing, no additional timber will be needed for the installation.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Please let me know if you have any questions.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

Taking a pic is not work always lol (from experience and I take loads of pics) Helps out when you want to mount a painting/mirror to the wall and looking for a stud.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Definitely something fun to be doing inside these days (if you live on the East coast of Aus that is &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/html/@45A9845BB027EC316189AE2CA43B1C27/images/emoticons/Smile.png" alt=":smile:" title=":smile:" /&gt; )&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Dave&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/14838"&gt;@MitchellMc&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Yes, before I go full monty on the demolition I will get the remaining electrical items (aircon, ceiling fan and power-points), asbestos removal.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Then I can remove and clean all and start re-installing. I went into the store today, thankfully it doesn't seem to hard to install the panels. Maybe some simple tools like a circular saw, a nail-gun and a lot of elbow grease &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/html/@45A9845BB027EC316189AE2CA43B1C27/images/emoticons/Smile.png" alt=":smile:" title=":smile:" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
