Easy Installation Instructions
Our “Tin” styled panels are easy to work with because they cut easily with a pair of scissors and simply install on a clean dry
solid surface with our recommended All Purpose Power Grab adhesive by Loctite and 3M Double Stick Tape.
Preparation:
1.)Determine the number of panels needed. is is easily done by dividing your total square footage (found by
multiplying your area length by width, rounding up to even number of foot - 17’8”=18’) needed by 8.
Ex:120 SqFt./8
(sq. per panel)=15 panels. We generally recommend 1-2 extra depending on the job size.
2.) Before installation make sure the surfaces are clean and free of dirt and grease. For popcorn ceiling installation
make sure to knock o the low hanging pieces, the glue will create a leveling eect for the rest.
3.) Generally we recommend to start in the center of the room (follow a chalk line) so the panels are balanced
on each side where they meet the walls. is is personal preference however, and you can start along a wall if you
choose, leaving your cut side in a less visible area of the room.
Installation:
1.) Aer you decide where you’re starting your rst panel, you apply a ¼” bead of the Loctite adhesive around the
outside of the panel approx. ¾” in from the edge (sown as black outlined dashes). Do not put any adhesive in the
outer dot dash area where panels over lap and do not over glue. Applying too much glue will push the panel far-
ther from the at surface not letting it lay at and overlap the next panel properly. Remember: each panel weighs
less than 1lb.
2.) Using only recomended 3M Double stick tape - Place a X sign in the large center at area on both the le and
right side. is is to insure the center area is at to the ceiling and glue can possibly show through. Do not put any
adhesive in the center area of this #509 Pattern!
2.) Once the panel is on the wall or ceiling, simply press rmly with your hands on the panel to help the glue
spread and the tape adhere to the surface. Stagger the joints from one row to the next. If it becomes necessary
to cut the panel to t you may use a utility knife or a pair of scissors. If applying to new sheetrock, the sheetrock
must be primed rst before installation. Panels can be painted with oil based or latex paint but we do suggest prim-
ing if using a latex paint.
