  1. Apply white glue, or other quality wood glue, to the surface edge and back surface of the substrate. Pull fabric tightly around edge and smooth the surface. Staple to back of substrate to maintain pressure while glue sets.

 

 D. INSTALLATION TO MASONRY WALLS

  1. Install wood furring strips, not exceeding 16" o.c.
  2. Apply DesignWall Panels following "Installation to Wood Frame Walls."

E. INSTALLATION TO FINISHED WALL

  1. Apply Wall Panels following "Installation to Wood Frame Walls," putting adhesive to back of wall panels instead of on wood framing in 3/8" beads 16" o.c. and at perimeter, holding adhesive back 3/4" from edge. Panels must be aligned such that panel edges would fall on framing behind finished wall. Panels must be fastened to framing behind finished wall.

PANEL MAINTENANCE

To prevent overall soiling, frequent vacuuming or light brushing to remove dust and grime is recommended. Oil or grease type spots will respond to mild solvent or dry cleaning agents. The blotting technique, without rubbing, should be sufficient to remove most spots. For general dirt or grime spots, sponging with the foam from a mild detergent or upholstery shampoo should remove the accumulated dirt and grime spot. Room temperature solution should be sufficient. Rinse well with a clean sponge to remove traces of the water base cleaning agent. The fabric will dry very quickly. Avoid excessive brushing or rubbing during cleaning practices to prevent fuzzing of the fabric surface.

CUTTING PANELS

Cuts can be easily made by either hand or power sawing. Always use a medium to fine tooth saw whether hand or power. If cuffing with a hand saw, cut from finished side of panel; if using a portable power saw, rotary or saber, cut from back of panel. Small cuts (electric boxes, etc.) can be readily made with several passes of a sharp utility knife.
