Installation Instructions

1. Snap level lines on wall to be covered for reference.

2. Loosely position first skin while holding to level line. Attach as required with screws or staple flat to wall.

3. Loosely position remaining row, matching the level lines. Cut sheets with a razor knife or saw. Trim perimeter as needed. Outside corners can be mitered or plastered, then sanded.

4. Install remaining rows by staggering sheets over lower seams while holding to the level lines. Cut around doors and windows as required.

5. Screw / staple entire wall so sheets are flat. Caulk or “point up” to match existing grout line depth and texture. When dry, paint, texture and age as desired.

General Notes:

• Pulp Art Surfaces products can be trimmed easily with a razor knife. Similar to drywall, score firmly 2 times, bend and snap apart.
• When positioning sheets, keep them level as well as keep the grout line space equal.
• Staple or screw at 12 inches minimum to keep material flat on the wall. Countersink fasteners in grout lines and patch over. Use construction adhesive if desired.
• Pulp Art Surfaces products can be painted and plastered with any product. The surface has natural adhesion so we recommend water based low VOC products to protect our planet.
