has brought this to us :
Thanks. I'll get busy researching in a mo'

What size are the individual panels typically?
Is it easier to fit fewer longer (bigger) ones than many short ones?

They are about 4 or 5 feet long and about 9" wide. You lay an entire
series of lengths end to end - all clicked together with the cut to
size piece at one end. Then add a second row all fixed together as one
strip and so on, you cannot just fit one section at a time - it has to
be an entire row in one go. You need to offset the joints just like the
bricks in a wall, between one row and the next one. If the room is
long, it becomes difficult to ease a row into place without it falling
apart - so some help might then be needed.
