Installation Instructions

To Produce a Finished Edge:
1. Using a utility knife, break the DesignWall seal on the back of the panel and pull the fabric back
past the point where the new cut is to be made.
2. Mark the substrate to the desired new dimension and cut the substrate on this new line.
3. Cut the fabric beyond approximately 2” beyond the new edge to allow material for a new edge
wrap.
4. Apply white glue, or other quality wood glue, to the surface edge and back surface of the substrate.
Pull the fabric tightly around edge and smooth the surface. Staple fabric to the back of substrate to
maintain pressure while the glue sets.
PANEL MAINTENANCE:
To prevent overall soiling, frequent vacuuming or light brushing to remove dust and grime is
recommended. Oil or grease type spots will respond to mild solvent or dry cleaning agents. The blotting
technique, without rubbing, should be sufficient to remove most spots. For general dirt or grime spots,
sponging with the foam from a mild detergent or upholstery shampoo should remove the accumulated dirt
or grime spot. Room temperature solution should be sufficient. Rinse well with a clean sponge to remove
traces of the water base-cleaning agent. The fabric will dry very quickly. Avoid excessive brushing or
rubbing during cleaning practices to prevent fuzzing of the fabric surface.
