Installation Guide

Once the Design Strip is cut to size, dry t the piece to make sure
it is the exact size you needed prior to applying to the wall.
If you would like to have a 1/8” grout line between the Design Strips and the wall panel, use the 49” straight
edge (spacer bar) to create the line. After installing the lower panels, place the spacer bar adjacent to the
panel; make sure the spacer bar is level, then place the Design Strip on top of the spacer bar. Make sure you
have the Design Strips in proper order and install your Design Strips accordingly. Once all strips are installed,
place the spacer bar on top of the Design Strip and install the upper wall panels.
When placing the Design Strip ush with the panels, install the lower panels and place the Design Strip directly
on top of the lower panels. Make sure the area is clean and no adhesive has cured that would cause a gap
between the panel and Design Strip. Once all strips are installed, install the upper panels directly on top of the
Design Strips.
Once you’re satised with the length, mark each with a number to
identify the order when dry tting the Design Strips. Make sure all
strips match up prior to peeling off backing and applying to wall.
You have the option
to either have a 1/8”
grout line between the
panels and the design
strip or just drop the
Design Strip directly on
to the panel and repeat
the same for the top
panel(s).
