Jelinek Cork Wall Tiles and Ceiling Tile Installation Procedures

Cork wall tiles should be removed from their packs and spread out in the room in which they are to be installed 72 hours prior to fixing. This will allow the material to stabilize at room temperature. At this time inspect cork tiles to satisfy that color tones, patterns, and variances are correct for room decor. Check that wall or ceiling surfaces on which installation will take place are clean, dry, and in good condition. If concerned, contact us with questions or for further assistance. Read and understand the following instructions thoroughly before proceeding with installation.

With a plumb line, a scale and a set square, mark the center of the surface to be covered. Two symmetrical axes will serve as a starting point.

Mark the cork wall tiles position by checking the square in both directions from center lines of the room.

A water based contact glue should be used. Follow the instructions on the glue container. Work can be performed in sections if desired. Spread a thin layer of glue over a section of wall or ceiling surface. Also spread glue on the back of the tiles. Be sure to allow glue to fully dry on both wall/ceiling surface and tile back before applying the first cork wall tile. Glue should be dry to the touch before cork wall tiles are pressed to surface.

Check the position of the first cork wall tile before fixing and then press it firmly against the pre-glued surface area. Be sure to position it correctly before pressing because it will be difficult to remove if not done correctly the first time. Continue the operation with the adjoining cork wall tiles.

For a different and more attractive finish, start laying the cork wall tiles in a row until you reach the wall corner, then start the second row at the middle of the first tile and continue on the same way for following rows. This gives you the staggered look.

To cut the panels to the required size at wall or ceiling edges, proceed as shown. Cork wall tiles are easily cut using a sharp Stanley knife or carpet cutter.
