Starting Tips
|
A.) First remove outlet and
switch covers very carefully.
B.) Start from the easiest
corner and continue one way (counter clockwise or
clockwise).
C.) Always measure for your
cuts.
D.) Only do one panel space
(4' x 8') at a time when applying your ceramic tile
adhesive.
E.) Before installing, and
after applying panels don't forget to wash your hands
and patching trowel so that you don't get any tile
adhesive on the panels you are cutting or installing.

Cutting Trim for the Wallpanel |
|
1.) Use a
surface underneath the panel you cut so as to
not damage the floor, your blade, or possible
the panel. A great solution for this is to use a
large piece or cardboard.
2.)
Measure the area where you are installing the
trim piece.
3.) When
cutting the trim be sure to cut the end that
will not be exposed so you have a nice clean
edge on the outside.
4.) Cut in
a downward fashion as it is harder to cut 'up'
the panel. ALWAYS use a straight edge of some
kind to the cut as straight as possible and then
apply the trim piece to the wall. |

Cutting The Panel |
|
1.) Use a
surface underneath the panel you cut so as to
not damage the floor, your blade, or possible
the panel. A great solution for this is to use a
large piece or cardboard.
2.) When
cutting the panel keep your blade at a slight
angle where the bottom of the blade is slightly
in. Be sure to make all the proper measurements
and get a firm hold of the panel so that it does
not slide as you cut it. (refer to figure 1)
3.) Cut in
a downward fashion as it is harder to cut 'up'
the panel. ALWAYS use a straight edge of some
kind to the cut as straight as possible. (refer
to figure 2) |

Basic Wallpanel Installation
|
Before
Install |
1.)
Applying the wall panels is quite simple. Just
take your ceramic tile adhesive and dab it on
the surface of your wall liberally (refer to
figures 3 & 4). Make sure that you spread
the dabs out to cover the entire 8' x 4' wall
surface.
2.) Once
you have you wall area covered with adhesive you
then apply the wall panel to the wall by firmly
pressing it to the wall and then smoothing it
out from bottom to top (refer to panel install
video). |

Outside Corner Install
|
Before Install |
1.) You
will need you two panels, A & B. (refer to figure
5)
2.) When
doing an outside corner install you need to
overlap the panel edges to create a smooth,
slight beveled, edge. To do this correctly you
need to install Panel B first. When installing
this panel it needs to be mostly flush with the
wall edge. It needs to stick out slightly, 1/8"
to be exact, so that it seams up with Panel A.
(refer to figure 6)
3.) Once
Panel B is installed it is time to install Panel
A. Simply line the two edges up so that Panel A
OVERLAPS Panel B. If done correctly you should
have something like Figure 5. (refer to figure 7) |

Inside Corner
Install
|
Before
Install |
1.) Make
sure that each adjoining edge is straight if it
is unfinished. Panel A will be installed first
and Panel B will but up against Panel A.
2.) When
you install the first panel make sure that it is
flush with the corner and wall as the second
panel will overlap that edge of the first panel.
(refer to figure 8)
3.) Firmly
apply Panel A to the wall and then apply Panel B
to the wall and flush against Panel A. |

Installing Panels Around Windows
|
|
1.) Apply
the panel directly over the window as it will be
cut after. (refer to figure 9)
2.) After
the panel adhesive has had some time to dry cut
a rough outline of the window. You will need to
make sure you leave some edge around the window
as this will be trimmed to fit the rest of the
window treatment. (refer to figure 10)
3.) Then
use a straight edge to cut the slack off the
panel so that it is flush with the window sill.
(refer to figure 11)
4.) Now
apply the pre-cut panel pieces to the edges of
the window sill to complete the window treatment.
(refer to figure 12) |

|
Hiding Open Spaces
|
|
1.) This
is a technique for hiding any open spaces that
may appear in between panels. First you need to
cut a strip of panel material to use to hide the
wall that is exposed (refer to material cut
video).
2.) After
you have a piece of the material cut you need to
pull one panel up to insert the material that
will hide the exposure. (refer to figure 13)
3.) Once
you have the material piece inserted firmly
reapply the lifted panel back to the wall. The
exposed wall should now be concealed. |

|
Cutting Outlet and Switch Openings
|
|
1.)
Measure where the outlet/switch needs to be.
(refer to figures 14 & 15)
2.) Mark
your panel in the appropriate area, be sure to
use white chalk, or any medium that will rub
off. (refer to figure 16)
3.) Once
you have your panel measured and marked its time
to cut. After you have cut your panel simply
apply it to the wall where you outlet/switch
resides. (refer to outlet cut video)
4.)
Re-attach your outlet/switch plate and you now
have a perfectly cut panel around your
outlet/switch. (refer to figure 17) |
