INSTALLATION

• Ensure all surfaces to which the panels are to be applied are firm, clean, and dry. For optimum bonding, porous surfaces should be sized with Wallrock Multipurpose PVA Primer & Sealer. Glossy surfaces should be roughened with sandpaper.
• Using Wallrock Thermal Liner Adhesive, apply enough adhesive for one tile at a time. The adhesive can be applied with a roller, spatula, or brush. Typical consumption is 1-1.5kg per square metre.
• If the wall is uneven, start with the first panel at the highest point to allow for levelling with subsequent panels.
• Apply the grey side of the panel to the adhesive and use a rubber roller or similar tool to apply even pressure, ensuring a consistent bond.
• Apply subsequent panels and use a straight edge to achieve a level finish.
• Trim panels as required; this can be done with a craft knife, and a straight edge may also be useful.
• Allow the adhesive to dry fully; this can take up to 48 hours.
• Fill any joints with a solvent-free filler; smaller imperfections can be filled with Wallrock Thermal Liner Adhesive.
• Once the filler has dried, the panels are ready for further decoration, as the surface has been pre-primed.
• Paint can be applied directly to the primed surface; always use a solvent-free paint. We recommend trying a small test patch first to ensure you are satisfied with the finish.
• If you choose to hang decorative wallpaper (or line prior to painting), we recommend using a strong lining paper such as Wallrock Fibreliner or Wallrock Fibreliner Smooth for the best results. These should be used in conjunction with a good quality ready-mixed adhesive such as Wallrock Power Adhesive.
• If you wish to tile over the panels, ensure that a solvent-free tile adhesive is used.
