Can you install VJ Panelling over a fireplace?

Question

Hey everyone,

I’m just wondering if it’s possible to install VJ Panelling over a brick fireplace. If it is, is there an installation guide of some sort that would help me put the panelling up? 
Also, I’d like to install the VJ panelling or shiplap on my living room ceiling. Is that possible and is there a guide /instructions? I will be installing it on my own. 😊

I hope all of this makes sense.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Kimbra. We're pleased to have you join us.

As a timber product, VJ panels cannot be installed in the specified exclusion zone around a fireplace. You can find details in the EasyCraft guide -  Fireplace Exclusion Guidelines.

There is also a guide for ceiling installations -Easycraft Guidelines for Ceilings.

Hope that helps get you started. Please feel free to ask any follow-up questions and our resident Bunnings D.I.Y. experts will be more than happy to assist.
