RECEPTION OF THE MATERIAL

Be sure all material has the same run lot number before installation. Final inspection should be made as to correct pattern, colour and any defects in craftmanship. No claims will be accepted beyond the installation of 3 strips. Absolutely no labour claims will be considered. Application of material is interpreted as acceptance of material and conditions of installation.
Due to different materials, processes and dye lots, we cannot guarantee a perfect colour match. Small differences in shading between different run lots or between sample and actually delivered material cannot be avoided.

WALLCOVERING - INSTALLATION

1. Wall preparation

Ensure surfaces are clean, smooth, dry, firm and uniformly coloured. Do not hang over glossy or non-porous places, stains. Painted walls should be washed down with Tri Sodium Phosphate to remove grease or soil. Glossy paint should be dulled by sandpaper. Never hang over new plaster or unprimed wall areas. For wallboard, ply or drywall, fill all cracks and prepare the surface with an acrylic basecoat.

2. Preparation of the strips

Measure and cut 3 strip lengths.
Add 2" to 4" (5 to 10 cm) to top and bottom of each strip.
For printed patterns, plan your match from the roll before cutting.
Mark each strip coming from the roll on the back and hang in the same sequence.
Reverse alternate lengths when instructed to do so by label on the roll.

3. Installation

Apply a ready mixed PVA or EVA clear adhesive to the wall. Follow the instructions of the adhesive manufacturer. Do not use too much adhesive (about 7 ozs/sqyd- 200 gr/m²). Respect the open time recommended by the adhesive manufacturer to penetrate into the wall or to evaporate.

ATTENTION

Make sure the adhesive is spread out evenly over the whole surface to ensure good adhesion to the wall. This will avoid open seams.
Do not use too much adhesive to avoid seam tearing stains on the wallcovering.
Never allow the adhesive to get on front of the material.

Under normal conditions, the sisal references can be installed by applying the glue directly to the wall, and it is unnecessary to moisten the back of the wallcovering. However, if this reference has been kept in storage for a long time, and/or if the installation takes place under very warm weather circumstances, it is advisable to first humidify the back of the wallcovering, in order to make the installation easier.

Due to the natural products used, and the partially hand-made production, irregularities appear in the structure and colour of the wallcovering. These irregularities may appear from one roll to another, but even within one and the same roll. It can therefore be recommended to compare and match the different strips before the installation.

2. Preparation of the strips

Measure and cut the strips.
Add 2" to 4" (5 to 10 cm) to top and bottom of each strip.
Match the different strips, number them at the back, and hang them in the same sequence.
Reverse alternate lengths when instructed to do so by label on the roll.

3. Installation

Apply a ready mixed PVA or EVA clear adhesive to the wall. Follow the instructions of the adhesive manufacturer. Do not use too much adhesive (about 7 ozs/sq yd – 200 g/m²). Respect the open time recommended by the adhesive manufacturer to penetrate into the wall or to evaporate.
Important! Moisten the back of the wallcovering evenly with the help of a sponge. Do not use too much water. Allow the moisture to absorb about 3 minutes depending on ambient temperature and humidity and then apply to the wall. F.i. moisten the first 2 strips. After installing the first strip, moisten the third, install the second, and so on.

ATTENTION

Make sure the adhesive is spread out evenly over the whole surface to ensure good adhesion to the wall.
Do not use too much adhesive to avoid seam tearing stains on the wallcovering.
Never allow the adhesive to get on front of the material.

This is a natural product, differences of color and aspect between batches are unavoidable. We cannot guarantee a perfect color match between the sample in the pattern book and the delivered goods.
