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 planks 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 slight 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 wood wall paneling around an open “ﬂame”

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

BATHROOMS:

Wall planks 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. The length of the planks is exactly matching to

the size of Armstrong grid structure for suspended ceilings.

OUTDOOR APPLICATIONS:

Planks are made from thermo-treated wood, which is rated for outdoor

applications. Thermo-treatment protects wood against decay for at least 25

years used outdoors. To save the natural color of thermo-treated wood in

outdoor applications use any outdoor oil with UV-protection. Follow the

direction of oil application provided by the oil manufacturers.

TRIMS:

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

framing, corners, etc. We recommend square edge trim, or any commonly

used trim proﬁle made from wood, metal to plastic.

HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED?

In each box we supply four starter/end planks (two planks cut out to 16 in.

and 8 in. pieces for random seams installation). The coverage area is 10 SF

for a box, or approx. 8 foot wide and 15 in. height (three rows) of 6 foot wide and 20 in. height (four rows), or 4 foot wide and 30 in. height (six rows). If you cover different shape areas calculate the total surface area of the wall and add 10% for cutting and waste. WALL PREPARATION: Installing planks 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.

PLANKS MEASUREMENTS: Thickness: 1/4 in. Width: 4-15/16 in. Length: 23.75 in. CARE AND MAINTENANCE: It is recommended to use a vacuum to clean wood panels if needed. Wood is a natural organic material, which might be fading under direct sunlight and any bright light. To protect natural wood against color degradation for outdoor applications, use standard wood oil or lacker with UV protection. Spray it to the surface. Wood will appear darker when it oiled.
