Installation instructions
Without using any special tools, you can have your set ready.
Tiles installation
The tiles must always be joined by their joints, almost as if they were real tiles! If necessary, you can apply some putty between them to hide them better, but it is almost never necessary to do it.
Important information
- Do not glue the whole surface
- You see that if you glue the whole surface, you will “sink” the centre of the tile and ruin its shape.
- Just a few dots of adhesive it will hold well thanks to its low weight.
In the case of the matt pieces, it has a water-based varnish. If you expect it to get wet, let us know and we can deliver it without varnish.
Bricks / stones installation
Roll presentation Less than 1lb/10 Sq ft. Without tools. Can be painted and varnished over.
- Our material is specially developed for the creation of efficient decorations. There is no other material like it in the world.
- It is very light and easy to lay… One person can create a very real space in a very short time.
Installation
Intervention with paint on the plates
“Final photo”
The material is particularly light, so there are different ways of hooking or gluing it to the surface :
- With a few staples it is perfectly fastened. To hide them, it is sufficient to apply some paint on top.
- Double-sided adhesive. It also holds it perfectly. A few small pieces are enough.
- If you want to hold the plate a bit more permanently, (acidic) silicone works very well. To hold it to the surface until it dries and stands on its own, you can help it with a bit of double-sided adhesive or some staples.
Important information
Do not putty the joints. Our product is made to save you hours of touching up.
Do not put adhesive or silicone all over the surface. You should not glue everything to the wall; it is not necessary because of its light weight, but above all you will deform the volumes we have made.
If the wall on which you want to place the plank cannot be damaged, you can use some removable adhesive, and apply the silicone on it (but always do a small test first to check that everything goes well).
Another way installations bricks
To lay this type of sheet, the example of the bricks will work for all similar models.
Measure exactly where you are going to place the first row of bricks and stick a double-sided tape about 1.57 in or1.96 in wide on the wall, so that you can stick a couple of centimetres of the bottom and a couple of centimetres of the upper one (in the picture, the tape is shown in blue).
Start by placing the first bottom left corner. You can fix it with a bit of silicone, double-sided, staples…. you won’t need a lot of fastening as its low weight doesn’t require it.
From here on you can try out which system works best for you. We suggest you:
present the next sheet to the right to see how it overlaps the previous one
and make some marks to place them accurately.
- To lay this type of sheet, the example of the bricks will work for all similar models.
- Measure the exact size, place the sheet on a table and apply some “squiggles” with silicone on the back, or some pieces of double-sided foam.
- Then apply a pvc adhesive all around the edge (without reaching it) along the cut-out tiles.
- You can try the brand of adhesive you usually use for pvc but always do a small test, as some of them include solvents in their formulation that deform the area where you are going to place the first row of bricks and stick a double-sided tape about 4 or 5 cm wide on the wall, so that you can stick a couple of centimetres of the bottom tile and as many of the top one (in the image, the tape is shown in blue).
- Start by placing the first bottom left corner. You can fix it with a bit of silicone, double-sided, staples,…. you won’t need a lot of fastening as its low weight doesn’t require it.
- Once the bottom row is in place, follow the same system with the top row.
- You will see that the horizontal cut is not perfect, so in some places you may have to perfect the cut or make a touch up.
- In the image on the right, note that to make corners you do not need to cut the plate.
- With a little care, you can simply bend it. If you make a few small cuts in the “mortar” part (marked in blue), you will see that you can achieve very fast and effective results.
- Afterwards, with a few dabs of putty on the cuts, you will be done.
