Installation Guide

WARNING:

Cutting, sanding or machining wood products produces wood dust. While wood

products are not hazardous under OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29CFR

1910.1200), the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the State of

California has classiﬁed wood dust as a human carcinogen.

EXPECT THE NATURAL VARIATION OF WOOD:

All our wall tiles are designed to highlight the natural variation of wood on structure and

in color. Each wood piece is different, but all together they create an ensure consistency

of the ﬁnal product visual. Sunlight or intense artiﬁcial lighting can cause color changes.

SURFACE REQUIREMENTS:

The surface must be clean, dry, and structurally sound. The surface must be ﬂat to

within 1/4” over 48”

FIREPLACES & HEATERS:

NOT recommended the use of Whole Wood wall tiles around an open “ﬂame” places.

The wall planks are made from wood which is ﬂammable material.

BATHROOMS:

Whole Wood wall tiles may be used in bathrooms as long as they are NOT installed at

high splash areas.

CEILING APPLICATIONS:

Ceiling applications are possible as soon as you’re following the corresponding builder

codes.

TRIMS:

Use trim of the same color range as wall tiles for outlet trim, window trim, framing,

corners, etc.

We recommend square edge trim, which is commonly used when installing any wall

panels. Use our thermo-treated Polar S4S boards as a trim.

HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED?

Calculate the total surface area of the wall and add 5% for cutting and waste. The

coverage for each box is approx. 10 SF.

WALL PREPARATION:

Installing tiles over existing true walls requires no preliminary preparation. Sanding high

spots on the wall is generally about all you have to do.

Always check your building code. Thermo-treated wood is Class B ﬁre rated and most

panels are only allowed to be installed over a solid wall under most building codes.

ADHESIVE APPLICATION: Adhesive may be used to apply planks directly to walls as long as the surface is level, sound and clean. Once the plank is fitted, apply beads of adhesive with a caulking gun in a continuous strip along the top, bottom and both sides of the plank. Some supplemental nailing might be necessary to hold the strips in place until the adhesive sets. Be sure to read the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions carefully prior to installation, since instructions may vary.
