USE ADHESIVE MAT (i.e. SimpleMat)
 The adhesive mat allows DECO WALLS to be installed over drywall, plywood, concrete, painted “smooth”
surfaces, laminates. (Be sure to read and follow the installation instructions from the adhesive mat company)
 Make sure you check if your walls are aligned from floor to ceiling. Once this is checked, we recommend you
draw a straight line (reference line) that you will follow as a guide. Draw the lines vertically or horizontally
(depending on your pattern) to determine a starting point and create your guideline. We recommend the
use of a level or Laser level and Chalk line to draw your starting lines.
FOR CUTTING/WASTE AND REPAIRS
 Calculate the total surface area of the room(s) and add 5% to 10% for cutting and waste.
 Extra boards can be stored for future repairs or additions
MAINTENANCE:
 Use feather duster remove dust.
SPECIAL APPLICATIONS:
Outlet Cutoff:
 Arrange 1 to 2 rows of the DECOWALLS on the floor. This will allow you to see your pattern and define your
cuts. Mark your wall outlets.
 Mark your outlet distance and elevation on your test pattern and on the wall.
 Mark your board and drill 4 holes for each corner of the outlet.
 Using a Jigsaw to cut a line from corner to corner.
 Turn the piece around, trim and detail.
 Test on wall before applying to adhesive mat.
Fireplaces & Heaters:
 We do NOT recommend the use of DECOWALLS around an open “flame” Fireplace or a Heater (i.e. Stove,
baseboard heaters, etc.). The DECOWALLS are made from wood which is flammable material.
Bathrooms:
 DECOWALLS may be used in bathrooms as long as they are NOT installed near or at splash areas.
Ceiling Applications:
 Ceiling applications are not recommended.
Trims:
 Use trim in the same color range as DECOWALLS for outlet trim, window trim, framing, corners, etc.
 We recommend square edge trim, which is commonly used when installing wood flooring.
 DECOWALLS can be mitered on corners. Make sure you cut the parts at the same length on each side to
ensure the 3-D heights match.
