Hanging instructions

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.

Important !
Due to the material and the production process, irregularities in the aspect and the thickness of the wallcovering may appear, as well as colour shades, which give the product its charm and unique character. Differences of colour and aspect between batches, or even from one strip to another, are unavoidable. We can't guarantee a perfect colour match between the sample in the pattern book and the delivered goods.

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 strips

Measure and cut 3 strip lengths. Add 2" to 4" (5 to 10 cm) to top and bottom of each strip.
On 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.

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. For ex. : Moisten the first 2 strips. After installing the first strip, moisten the third, install the second, and so on.

ATTENTION

Be most careful not to fold the strips. This will cause a crease, which will remain visible after installation.
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.
