Installation Manual
Evenex Paper Wall
Full installation instructions are included with every roll of Evenex
PaperWall.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Installation should be performed by wallpapering professionals. Given the
width of Evenex PaperWall, a team of two is typically more efficient, however
an experienced wallpaper installer can easily hang the product on their own.
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
Before installing, inspect the delivered product carefully to ensure receipt
of the correct colour and quantity. Store in a dry place, at a temperature
between 15°C – 30°C.
Ensure the lighting in the area where the product will be hung is fully
installed and operational. This will help reveal any imperfections in the wall
surface prior to installation, and any bubbles during installation.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY REQUIREMENTS
Installation must occur in a climate-controlled environment. An approximate
constant temperature of 22°C is required, with a steady relative humidity of
50 – 55%.
TEST HANGING
A three drop test hang is recommended, as it enables the specifier to approve
surface conditions and adhesion prior to installation being completed. This is
a critical first step, as there are no returns on cut goods, and no claims
allowed for labour charges or consequential damages.
INSTALLATION TOOLS
WALL PREPARATION
Prior to installation, paint the walls with Roman Pro-977 Ultra
Prime Primer (or similar) tinted close to the colour of your selected Evenex
PaperWall product.
- Do not use sealing primer
- Do not install on sealed walls (no eggshell, satin or semi-gloss paints)
- Walls should be smooth and sanded
- If walls are already sealed or have imperfections, consider hanging heavy-duty nonwoven wall liner prior to installing the product. This is at the discretion of your installer.
- Walls must be completely dry before installation can begin.
TRIMMING
Evenex PaperWall must be trimmed or double-cut on the wall with a very sharp,
single-edge razor blade.
For best results, overlap and splice joints at a slight angle, using a new
blade for each cut. A laser will ensure your installation is square and level.
PASTING
Apply a generous coat of clear strippable adhesive—Roman Pro 880 or
equivalent—to the backside of the product, and allow time for it to relax.
While relaxing, the paste soaks into the sheet, which helps avoid bubbling,
shrinking and seam opening during hanging.
The time required for relaxing is typically five minutes, but to be certain,
perform a test on a small strip.
To achieve a superior hold in corners or tight mouldings, consider using
contact adhesive.
- Do not fold or crease the product
- Do not get paste on the face of the product
- Do not scrub or rub the face of the product if paste does get on it; instead, gently wipe clean, immediately, with a soft, damp cloth
- Do not use paper towel on the product
HANGING
Use a plastic smoother to gently remove bubbles. Seams may be set with a seam
roller, providing the proper precautions are taken. A corner seam roller can
be used to ease Evenex PaperWall into mouldings, etc. prior to cutting.
Before leaving, inspect each sheet carefully to ensure all bubbles are
smoothed out—any that remain will be permanent upon completion of
installation.
If necessary, seams can be touched up once dry with a colour-matched pastel to
ensure the paper edge is not visible.
Please note that slight colour and/or pattern match variation may occur.
