Crosspoint™ Acoustical Wall Fabric Installation

Warning: Before beginning installation examine this material carefully. No claims can be honored for material or labor cost after installation. If product is defective or you need hanging information, please contact Acoustical Solutions at 1-800-782-5742. Orders will be filled from the same dye lot. To assure customer satisfaction, the material was inspected prior to shipment and placed in special suspended core cartons to avoid damage. Standard bolts are 54" wide and have 2" added for seaming. "Cut orders" vary in length with order quantities.

1. Preparation:

•  Remove all wall plates, obstructions and old wallcovering.
• Clean, seal and prime wall before application, especially glossy and semi-gloss paint, wood or concrete walls.
• Seal markings that cannot be removed by cleaning to prevent “bleed-thru”.
• Carefully inspect all material before installation.
• Ensure pattern and color is satisfactory and meet specification.

2. Adhesive Application:

• Recommendations of adhesive manufacturer should be strictly followed and take precedence.
• Apply premixed, undiluted, heavy-duty, clear wallcovering adhesive to the wall—NOT THE FABRIC.
• Allow adhesive to become tacky, not dry.
• A clear, non-staining adhesive will help prevent problems if dropped on the face of the material.
• Care should be taken not to get adhesive on the face. If necessary, check with adhesive manufacturer.

3. Installation:

• For best results, install rolls in numerical sequence by dye lot.
• Cut material to desired lengths; allow minimum 2” on the top and bottom for trimming.
• After cutting, installer or distributor assumes all responsibility.
• Acoustical wallcoverings have a knap. Check every roll and cut for knap direction prior to installation. DO NOT ASSUME KNAP DIRECTION IS THE SAME ON ALL ROLLS. DO NOT REVERSE STRIPS; they may appear as a different color or shade.
• Install 3 strips in sequence with nap in same direction.
• Inspect for color, pattern, uniformity and application. If acceptable, proceed with work.
• Continue to inspect in 3 strip intervals. If unacceptable—STOP WORK IMMEDIATELY. Contact your local representative.
• All edges are trimmed to a rib, butt seamed and steel rolled – DO NOT DOUBLE CUT.
• This product is not precision trimmed. Trim on a table, in the same “groove”, using a straight edge to insure an accurate cut.
• To insure a good, clean trim, a new blade should be used on each strip.

 

Cleaning & Maintenance
Remove stains immediately. Acoustical wall covering will stay attractive and serviceable with regular vacuuming. Most spots and stains will disappear when treated with mild detergent or cleaning solvent. The material herein presented is offered as assistance and is based on practical experience from infield installations. Other methods may be suitable or more desirable for specific applications.
