CUTTING DESIGNWALL PANELS (to produce a finished edge) |
|
- Using a utility knife, break the fabric seal on
the back of the panel and pull the fabric back
pat the point where the new cut is to be
made.
|
|
- Mark the substrate to the desired new
dimension and cut substrate on this new line.
|
|
- Cut fabric approximately 2" beyond new
edge to allow material for new edge wrap
|
|
- 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
- Install wood furring strips, not exceeding 16" o.c.
- Apply DesignWall Panels following "Installation to Wood Frame Walls."
E. INSTALLATION TO FINISHED WALL
- 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. |
