TIMBERWALL Peel & Stick
INSTALLATION MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have purchased your very own design piece from TIMBERWALL. You are about to adorn your walls with the most innovative peel and stick real solid wood wall paneling system the world has to
offer. Before you start, make sure you have all the materials you need to realize and finalize your project.
The beauty of our products is not confined to their innovative architecture and appearance. Our products have been
carefully designed and thought out so that the process of
creating your very own personal design is simplified to allow you to achieve professional results in no time. Before installing your
TIMBERWALL peel and stick real solid wood paneling, carefully read all the installation guidelines and follow all the steps
outlined, including all recommendations provided to ensure proper installation and best results.
RECOMMENDATIONS for best results:
The properties of the product – TIMBERWALL proudly offers products that are made of real natural solid wood. We believe using an all-natural product is the only way to bring authenticity to a living space. You won’t find paper-thin wood veneer in our collections!
It is important to know that TIMBERWALL real solid wood is a
genuinely natural product, and each piece in a box will have a unique structure, color and texture. It is also important to know that like any other wood product, TIMBERWALL real solid wood will respond to humidity variations by expanding and contracting
in width, length and thickness. Slight plank movement and
cupping might appear and are normal. These changes simply add
authenticity to the product and overall aesthetics. That is the beauty of the natural properties of real solid wood! The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any movement in the planks.
Select the right surface for your project – TIMBEWALL is suitable for indoor application only. It is recommended that the product be applied on painted drywall or plasterboard only. TIMBERWALL products should not be used in wet, damp
areas or near intense heat sources. For optimal appearance, we recommend you install TIMBERWALL on a surface that has
previously been painted with a color that matches the
TIMBERWALL colors. This will ensure a uniform look in case of slight plank movement. Surfaces must be completely clean and dry
prior to installation.
Temperature and indoor relative humidity – Acclimatize the pieces at a temperature between 18° and 30° Celsius (65°F and 85°F) for 72 hours prior to installation. Maintain the indoor
relative humidity between 40% to 60% at all times.
Create your own personal design by mixing colors –
Because each piece varies in color and appearance, make sure to carefully mix pieces from different boxes to ensure a blended and unique natural custom look. Once installed, the planks are not
easily repositionable. Should a piece need to be removed, the
surface will need to be reconditioned. Once your design has been finalized, follow the three easy installation steps.
CHECKLIST TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES NEEDED
Level and/or cross laser level
Miter box with handsaw, manual or electrical miter saw
Measuring tape
Pencil
Personal protective equipment is needed while cutting and
installing the TIMBERWALL. Use
protective glasses and gloves, and protect your clothes to avoid wood chips. You will also need a broom to sweep your room once your
project is completed.
STEP 1 – ACCLIMATIZE YOUR TIMBERWALL WOOD PIECES
TIMBERWALL real solid wood collections will respond to
humidity variations by expanding and contracting in width, length and thickness. Slight plank movement and cupping might appear and are normal. These changes add authenticity to the product and
overall aesthetics. That is the beauty of the natural properties of real solid wood. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any movement in the planks.
Acclimatize the wood pieces at a temperature between 18° and 30° Celsius (65°F and 85°F) for 72 hours prior to installation. Maintain the indoor relative humidity between 40% to 60% at all times. We recommend that you leave the TIMBERWALL box or boxes open in the room where you will realize your project.
STEP 2 – PROJECT SITE/INSPECTION AND CLEANING SURFACES
The TIMBERWALL is suitable for indoor wall application only. Our wall planks may be applied to painted drywall and plasterboard only. The project site should not be exposed to the elements, and all receiving walls should be completely clean and dry. TIMBERWALL should not to be used in wet, damp areas or near
intense heat sources.
Strip off flexible coverings such as wallpaper, scrape away loose paint and remove nails or anything protruding from surfaces. Your surface should be clean and free of any loose material or debris before any planks are installed. Remove and set aside all wall plates and baseboards if needed for your project. They can be reinstalled after the TIMBERWALL is installed.
For optimal appearance, we recommend that your surfaces be painted in a color that matches the TIMBERWALL wood planks you chose. Your wall may already be the color tone you need to match your wood. Make sure to follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions for application and optimal paint dryness.
Even if the surface already looks clean, dust builds up fast. The presence of various indoor contaminants diminishes the ability of the adhesive to adhere. Consequently, surfaces must be cleaned with water and soap before the installation of wood planks. The surface should be completely dry and structurally capable of supporting the TIMBERWALL. If you plan on hanging any decorative items on your wall after installation, make sure to identify the supporting studs prior to applying the planks.
STEP 3 – CREATING A DESIGN WITH, INSTALLING AND ENJOYING THE TIMBERWALL
Make sure you have enough space and light as well as all
required equipment on hand to achieve your project. Spread out and mix planks from different TIMBERWALL boxes. Find inspiration from the patterns provided on www.timberwall.co, and create your very own design. It is important to know that TIMBERWALL real solid wood is a genuinely natural
product, and each piece in a box will demonstrate a unique structure, color and texture.
Using a level, draw your reference line on the clean and dry
surface on which you plan to install your TIMBERWALL. Keep in mind that you must install wood pieces from the bottom up. Remove the
paper from the adhesive lines and manipulate the pieces with care. Avoid getting them wet or dirty.
Align one edge along the reference line or adjacent row, keeping the TIMBERWALL pieces at an angle so they don’t stick to the wall right away. Once installed, the planks are not repositionable. Should a piece need to be removed, the
surface will need to be reconditioned.
When ready to install, ensure the piece is correctly aligned where it will be positioned. Hold down and apply pressure to the entire piece for a minimum of ten seconds. The adhesive will reach its peak adherence after 24 hours. Trim the pieces as required, fitting them against adjacent or predefined surfaces. Pay special attention to the edges and ends, and make sure to leave a 1/8” space at all corners and a ¼” space at the top and bottom of the wall.
Should you encounter adhesion issues with TIMBERWALL, it is likely that the surface was still damp before application, that it was not cleaned properly or that the wall isn’t completely straight or plumb. TIMBERWALL is a real wood product. In the event of curling or non-sticking, just apply a few tack or pin nails to the plank.
Clean your workspace, and do not hesitate to keep the leftover planks for other innovative projects!
Take some time to admire what you have accomplished: your very own personal wood wall design! Please do not hesitate to share the end result with us at [email protected] or via social media using #mytimberwallproject.
DESIGNING PATTERNS AND IDEAS
It is important to know that the TIMBERWALL is made of real solid wood. It is a genuinely natural
product, and each piece in a box will demonstrate a unique structure, color and texture. We believe using an all-natural product is the only way to bring authenticity to a living space.
TIMBERWALL can be installed as a full wall, a corner wall, a half wall or a middle wall. Horizontal, vertical and diagonal patterns are the most common ways to install pieces from the collection, but they can also create a great design for a mirror frame, bed posts or any other application you might imagine. The possibilities are endless!
MAINTENANCE
Clean when necessary using a dry cloth or feather duster. Avoid using detergent and water.
OWNER/INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY
All boxes are thoroughly inspected to ensure you receive only
the finest pieces we manufacture and finish. As all our products are natural, some variations in grading might occur. It is the installer’s responsibility to check the suitability of all pieces prior to installation. A non-compliant product should not be installed. If it is installed, it will be considered as accepted. In the highly unlikely event any visible defects are found, you should contact your supplier immediately. Do not install pieces you suspect are defective.
Installation must be done indoors, and temperature must be
maintained between 18° and 30° Celsius (65°F and 85°F). Do not install TIMBERWALL in rooms with high humidity levels such as a sauna or bathroom. Do not install TIMBERWALL near intense heat sources such as fireplaces and stoves.
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the project site is clean and suitable and that the pieces are correctly installed. The manufacturer and distributor accept no responsibility under normal conditions for failure due to incorrect or inappropriate installation. The TIMBERWALL has no structural properties that allow hanging anything directly to the product. As the material is extremely adhesive, do not apply anywhere except on appropriate surfaces. Keep out of reach of children.
