Paneling
The Tesa
TM
adhesive tape adheres to virtually any solid surface. The bonding to the wall is very strong and should last for many years under normal
circumstances. Please ensure that the surface is clean, dry, free from debris, and sufficiently strong to support the mywoodwall
TM
paneling. Set aside any
baseboard or wall plates. These can be re-installed after your mywoodwall
TM
wall is completed.
The surface should be flat to within about 10 mm per running meter (approximately 3/8" per 3 ft). Normally, even in the case that the wall is slightly
uneven, the mywoodwall
TM
panel will still be able to adhere to the wall. It may be necessary to use shims (8 wooden shims provided) if your wall is
uneven. You may need to put longer pressure on the panels (up to a few minutes) in areas where the walls are not flat to ensure the tape sticks.
Special Considerations:
1. If the wall has been recently painted, wait approximately 3 days before applying mywoodwall
TM
paneling to ensure the surface is completely dry.
2. mywoodwall
TM
paneling is designed to be used for non-flooring interior applications only. The panels are not weather resistant nor structural.
3. Before installing mywoodwall
TM
paneling, allow the panels to acclimate at room temperature and humidity for minimum of 3 days.
4. mywoodwall
TM
paneling is not recommended to be installed in locations where the humidity is exceedingly high (over 60%) or can become wet.
5. Installation must be indoors and the temperature must be between 18-30
o
Celsius (65
o
F-85
o
F).
6. Do not install directly next to intense heat sources such as a fireplaces and stoves.
Other Considerations when working with mywoodwall

paneling :
mywoodwall
TM
paneling can usually be installed directly out of the package. Depending on your needs, mywoodwall
TM
paneling can be cut to size
using normal woodworking tools. Make sure to fit the area first before removing the protective backing layer from the Tesa
TM
adhesive tape. We advise
you to purchase an additional 10% more products to account for cuts and trim waste.
mywoodwall
TM
paneling is a hand finished natural wood product, so cracks and splits can occur if the panels are not handled properly. Because this
is a natural product, the presence of knots, bark, splits, slight bending or bowing, etc, should be expected. If a particular feature is not desired, simply cut it
out before installing the panel on the wall.
Suggestions for Optimal Results BEFORE Installation (Panel Layout):
1. Mix and match different mywoodwall
TM
paneling combinations of color and grain to suit your needs.
2. Prepare a large assortment of mywoodwall
TM
paneling nearby to ease the selection process.
3. Position the planks so that the end joints do not line-up from row to row (stagger them).
After you have chosen the desired layout for the panels, install the mywoodwall
mywoodwallmywoodwall
mywoodwall
TM
TMTM
TM
paneling in the following manner
1. Remove the tape backing. Once the tape is exposed, keep it clean and dry for optimal adhesion.
2. Position one edge of the paneling at the desired location, but keep the other edge elevated until you are sure the position is correct. If both edges
of the plank adhere to the wall, it will be difficult to remove.
3. Adjust the alignment of the panel as needed by moving the other end until you are satisfied with its position.
4. Gently press both edges of the panel into the wall to ensure both edges adhere.
5. If the position is correct, then firmly press the panel into the wall. You must use a roller to ensure the tape is firmly adhered. Adhesive will be fully
adhered after 48-72 hours. Give special attention to areas where a panel needs to be pressed firmly to the wall (ie flatness issues).
