Do not discard; Please read before hanging wallcovering.

Installation Instructions

For best results, KnollTextiles recommends that a qualified wallcovering installer is employed.

Terms and Conditions

• Material must be examined prior to installation.
• Please check that all rolls are the correct color and pattern.
• No claims will be allowed for hanging the wrong color or pattern.
• No adjustments will be allowed after the material is cut.
• Material should be tested by hanging NO MORE THAN 3 STRIPS. If you have questions after hanging the first 3 strips, call Customer Service at 866-565-5858. KnollTextiles will not be responsible for any labor costs thereafter.

Wall Preparation

All previous wallcovering and paint residue should be removed, and surface protrusions and low spots sanded and filled so that hanging surface is clean, smooth, and thoroughly dry.
KnollTextiles does not recommend installing wallcovering over existing material.
Glossy surfaces should be sanded to dull the surface, and dust removed with a dry cloth.
Surface should be thoroughly sealed; a quality wallcovering primer should be used on all surfaces.
Lining the walls is usually not needed. The installer should determine if necessary.
If a paper or canvas liner is thought necessary, the same heavy duty vinyl adhesive with low water content should be used as on the actual wallcovering. This will prevent mildew.
Any mildew must be removed from the walls and surfaces treated to inhibit further mildew growth.
Acceptable hanging surfaces must be clean, smooth, thoroughly dry and structurally intact.
Freshly plastered walls must be dry before application.
Surface color should be uniform throughout the installation area. Variations in wall color may affect overall appearance of goods after installation.
The temperature in the area of installation and/or storage should be maintained above 55º F at all times.
Adequate lighting is necessary for a proper installation

Adhesive

• For sheet vinyl, use a high quality, heavy duty, clear vinyl type adhesive with a low water content (at the discretion of installer). Do not introduce additional additives or dilute.
You can also use a clay-based adhesive.
Use of any other type of adhesive will be solely at the risk of the installers.
Allow adhesive to become tacky before applying wallcovering.

Application

Review the recommended hanging direction for pattern.
Any wallcovering design that does not have specific direction or horizontal match could be installed by reversing alternate strips to ensure color uniformity at the seams.
Cut rolls in sequential order starting with the highest number and working down to the lowest number. Number panels and headers as they are cut from the roll and apply to the wall in the same sequence.
If working with multiple lots, make certain that the lot numbers are separated at break points, such as corners. (DO NOT INTERMINGLE MULTIPLE LOTS).
Each panel should be hung plumb (straight up & down).
The wallcovering can either be table trimmed or overlapped and double cut.
Use of a straight-edge and a razor is recommended. Blades must be changed after every cut.
Avoid burnishing the face of the material.
Use a wallcovering brush or a plastic scraper to smooth the wallcovering onto the wall. Metal scrapers may damage the surface.
Do not crease wallcovering.

General

Ordinary dirt and smudges can be removed with mild soap and warm water.
Scrubbing is not recommended for printed vinyl with heavy color saturation.
