The following are guidelines given in good faith to help avoid
common errors. They are not intended to be a step-by-step
list of instructions or a checklist, and it is assumed the installer
has general construction knowledge. Conwed Designscape|Wall
Technology bears no responsibility for installation actions taken or
not taken, and is not responsible for installer selection.
Step 2: Pull the fabric back from the cut edge just over ½”…
and not farther! Cut the core to the finished size. Note that if
the fabric is pulled back too far, it will leave an objectional line
on the face of the panel.
INSPECTION
• Freight Damage: Inspect cartons for obvious damage before
accepting and note on delivery ticket.
• Concealed Damage: Notify Conwed Designscape|Wall
Technology of any concealed damage within 5 business
days of receipt. Claims beyond 5 days will be honored at
the discretion of Conwed/Wall Technology or the freight
company.
RECOMMENDED PRACTICE
• Square the grid before beginning the installation to avoid
later alignment issues. Less than 1/16” variation in diagonal
measurements should be targeted.
• Common practice is to install wall angle ½” lower than the
face of the grid to hide field cut edges. If this cannot be
done then follow steps below.
Step 1: If you have a fabric that makes the panels directional,
make sure the arrows on the backs of the panels are aligned…
and make your cuts to maintain that direction. It’s a good
practice to measure both edges of the grid opening, and mark
those on the panel face.
Step 3: Use a spray contact adhesive such as 3M Spray 77 to
coat both the panel core edge and the fabric. Do not get the
adhesive on the face of the panel.
Step 4: If the direction of the fabric caused you to cut off
an edge that rested on the grid, use the GL Perimeter Clips
provided…up to 30” use 2 clips. Add one clip in the center for
longer edges. Note that the longer part of the clip is inserted
in the panel.
