WALL & CEILING MOUNTING
•
One common option is to run horizontal firing strips
to even-up wall surfaces and to increase the acoustical
absorption of the wall panel assembly.
PLANNING THE INSTALL
1.
Review the materials list supplied by Conwed
Designscape|Wall Technology (Plant Order) and any
drawings. Carefully determine the starting position of
the first panel.
2.
Snap lines on wall both vertically and horizontally
keeping lines plumb and square.
3.
Many installers attach a standard wall angle or wood
nailer to the bottom of the panel run, unless the panels
are resting on the floor. A fabric-covered wall angle can
be supplied.

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

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
Designscape|Wall Technology or the freight company.
•
Do not install panels of unacceptable quality. Contact
your area representative immediately. Conwed
Designscape|Wall Technology will not be responsible for
installation or removal costs of unacceptable panels.
HANDLING AND STORAGE
INSTALLING THE FIRST PANEL
•
Handle individual panels ‘on edge’ to avoid bending when
moving and carrying.
•
•
Store panels on a flat, dry, solid surface. Do not store on
edge.
•
Take necessary measures to keep panels dry, clean and
free from dust. Pay special attention to edges.
The first option shown is to cut the short webs from a
standard spline to create a starter spline. Using #6 sheet
rock screws, or other appropriate fasteners, attach to
wall surface. Common screw spacing is approximately
12 inches apart.
•
As an option, use adhesive along a corner as shown.
High quality wall mastics such as Liquid Nails PL200,
Chemrex 200 and others have been successfully used.
The goal is to attach the fabric to the wall surface. Also,
adhesive can skin over quickly; therefore apply and
mount quickly.
WALL OPTIONS
•
The majority of spline attachment is done directly to
drywall often in combination with adhesive.
