TO GET STARTED YOU’LL NEED THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:
1. DecoPlank or DecoStrip set. Each set covers 10 square feet.
2. An Adhesive Mat (i.e. SimpleMat) One box covers 10 square feet (One roll; 9” x 18” Sheets). The adhesive
retains its bonding strength for extended periods of time. That means you have the flexibility to place the
DECOWALLS onto the mat an hour at a time or over several days.
3. A 10”Manual Miter saw or power saw, table saw-for cutting length of board, jig saw-for cutting outlets, safety
glasses, tape measure, pencil, pair of Scissors – to cut the adhesive mat, dust mask, gloves, hand roller, and
level.
TOOLS REQUIRED:
PREPARING THE INSTALLATION AREA
1. The surface must be clean, dry, flat (do not apply to an uneven surface), and structurally sound.
2. Remove any nail heads, outlet covers or anything else to ensure a flat surface.
3. Use a tape measure to determine the Height and Width of your space in inches.
4. Multiply the height and width and divide that number by 144. This number tells you how many square
feet you’ll need to cover.
5. Use a level to draw a straight and even line on your wall. This will be your reference line.
4. Remove mat adhesive cover to adhere to the wall (DO NOT REMOVE SIDE THAT ADHERES TO DECOWALLS).
Apply horizontally on the wall starting from the bottom up. Avoid touching or getting the adhesive dirty or
wet. Use a roller or grout float to flatten out air bubbles and creases.
6. Remove clear plastic and install boards on each side of your reference line, staggering them half way.
7. Continue to add pieces end to end. Trim the pieces as needed with a manual miter saw to fit flush
against edges.
8. Once you’ve finished your reference line, continue to add pieces until the wall is complete.
9. Press It Down using a hand roller to press the pieces in place.
Place adhesive mat in position and
mark cuts if needed
Cut adhesive mat with scissors or
utility knife.
Peel off white paper.
EXAMPLE: For a wall that is 4’ high by 10’ Long, Formula would be:
48” x 120” = 5,760” divided by 144 = 40sqft.
