Installation of Fabrika19 panels

Preparation

  • Requirement for a perfect end result is a smooth, primed, sanded and white painted wall. Preferably to use an acryl prime coating or paint of light shades (better white paint), in order to avoid a color visibility through the wall.

  • We recommend doing installation using the same lighting as will be used further. Use an additional lighting to check places of possible wrinkles.  

Attention

  • Applying technique of panels is the same as for non-woven wallpaper, but the glue has to be applied to the back of the panel as well as to the wall. It’s not possible to apply panels over existing wallpaper.

  • During product installation and its drying (24h) all windows and doors have to be closed.   

  • Wipe off glu on the surface with a wet sponge.

Materials Needed:

glue for heavy non-woven wallpaper, plastic tub for the glue, paint-roller (for applying the adhesive to the wall and wallpaper), wide roller for wallpaper (to push out bubbles and wrinkles), narrow plastic roller (to smooth edges), sharp knife (to trim away excess). 

1. Apply the wallpaper glue to the back of the panel with a paint-roller and wait 3-7 min. 2. Apply the wallpaper glue to the wall and hang the canvas to the wall. 3. Carefully push any bubbles and wrinkles out toward the borders with a paint-roller.
4. Trim away excess using a sharp knife and a liner as a guide. Change the blade on your knife every panel for better results.5. The joint of panels has to be strictly in the corner between walls without an overlap. 6. The result will be perfect if the installation is made carefully and correctly.
