Composition Cork Rolls - Installation Guidelines | |
Tools
& Materials Needed For A Professional Installation: (available at Home Depot, Lowe's or your local hardware store) • Sharp Utility Knife, Carpet or Linoleum Blade • Adhesive - recommended brand Henry - #176 or #356 • 3/16” x 5/32” V-Notched Trowel • Hammer • Brads/Headless Nails |
|
Preparation: Be sure wall is clean, dry and that existing surface is secure. |
|
Cutting: The cork can be trimmed with a utility knife, carpet or linoleum blade. It may require more than one pass. |
|
Adhesive: We recommend linoleum paste applied with a v-notched trowel. Apply 100% adhesive coverage to the wall surface being corked. |
|
Installation: After careful application of adhesive, lightly position the cork, and if correct press firmly in place (Rolling is recommended). Hammer brads/headless nails into all corners and areas that may not adhere. |
|
Finishing: Cork is a wood product and can be stained, painted or varnished. We suggest you test on spare piece first. For the perfect built-in bulletin board, you may tack picture frame molding around the cork. |
|
The perfect
wall: A cork wall covering does not show scratches, dents or nail holes. Ideal pin-up area. Absorbs unwanted noises. You may use fine sandpaper to remove any unwanted marks. |
