INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
APPLICATION PREPARATION
- Before being installed, the planks should be acclimated to the temperature and humidity of the room where they
will be used. To do this, remove planks from the box and let then acclimate to the room for a minimum period of
72 hours.
HARMONISATION
- Wood being a natural material, appearance and color vary from one board to another. Prior to installation,
organize the planks, thin and thick, to test the chosen design and harmonize the natural colours of the wood,
according to the desired result.
HOW TO INSTALL
- Tools: meter tape, pencil, level, saw, hammer, nails, glue (using a pneumatic nail gun with finishing nails will
greatly facilitate the work).
- Determine vertical and horizontal reference lines (90 degrees, as possible) for the wall on which the product will
be installed. This will facilitate the rectilinear application of the product.
- Important – to properly install the product, the top (face) and bottom (reverse) of each plank need to be
determined:
Thin plank: The best face, the top of the plank
Thick plank: Tongue and groove down = bottom of the plank (see schematic below)
- To obtain the desired design, the plank can be cut to different lengths and the cut must always be with an angle
of 90 degrees.
- The planks can be nailed on DRY furring and/or glued when applied to solid surfaces such as dry wall or plaster.
Make sure the surface is clean, dry and relatively smooth.
- Apply 3 mm (1/8 in.) beads of panel adhesive to the underside and perpendicular to the plank. Press firmly in
place (follow the directions of the glue manufacturer).
- Always sand the surface in the direction of the wood grain (if necessary).
- The surface can be stained, varnished, painted or oiled.
PRECAUTIONS
- All natural wood products, such as this product, may expand or contract due to changes in room temperature
and/or humidity. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any movement of the planks. Also, when painting or
staining this product, please make sure to test the paint or stain on a small portion of the product, as there is
variability on the degree of absorption of paint and stain by the wood products.
