The most complete guide to installing homogeneous vinyl wallcoverings

Homogeneous vinyl wall covering system installation standards

Suitable wall types: Smooth cement stucco surfaces hard plaster or plaster walls plasterboard walls, perlite, tiles, marble, aluminium surfaces etc.

Levelling system: Cement-based wall putty

Installation system: glue all over, lap or heat-soluble welding

Glue:Powerful dispersion type glue

Scraping tool: toothed scraper

 

Construction conditions

The wall should be dry, hard, clean and smooth. The new masonry should be given sufficient maintenance time as the internal bricks take time to dry. Painted walls should be sandpapered and loose paintwork should be removed. Optimal working conditions are a temperature of 15 to 25 degrees and a relative air humidity of less than 75%.

 

Levelling material product characteristics

The wall levelling material is a two-component product, the A component is a polymer resin adhesive and the B component is a fine powder, the A and B components are mixed to produce a homogeneous slurry, which can be applied by scraping.

 

Slurry dosage

1.5 kg/m2 is required for 1 mm, the amount will be influenced by various factors such as the condition of the base (levelness, surface roughness), construction and thickness.

 

Specific construction steps for homogeneous vinyl wall covering

Preparation before installation

  1. Check for any obvious product defects in good light.
  2. Check that the colour, pattern and quantity of the homogeneous vinyl wall covering are consistent with those ordered by the customer.
  3. Vinyl wallcovering should be placed in the workplace to acclimatise it to the environment. And keep it at 18 degrees for more than 12 hours, if the ambient temperature is less than 15 degrees do not install the material.
  4. Use special glue for homogeneous vinyl wall covering.
  5. Each roll of homogeneous vinyl wall covering product is marked with a batch number, when using more than one roll of material in the same area, you must ensure that the material used has the same batch number.

Homogeneous vinyl wall covering construction

Open lines : After the wall surface has been treated, the height of the room and the direction of laying of the wall material are controlled by bouncing the soil control line. Generally, homogeneous vinyl wallcoverings are laid in a horizontal direction. If the wall material is chosen to be laid vertically, the waist is ejected on the wall surface with vertical control lines.

To ensure a successful installation, our recommended glue must be used. The wall material is laid by applying glue to the wall only, which needs to be applied evenly and without too much glue. The glue drying time is about 10 hours, you can lay the wall material wall Yin and Yang corners do not need to use other glue reinforcement, the glue has enough adhesive force.

The installation of vinyl wall plastic a first shop set a good starting point, in general the starting point should be set in the door or window side, so as to reasonably reduce the seam. The material is spread out according to the height datum line previously drawn, and the entire room is covered with wall coverings, which are then compacted with more wooden boards.

At the corners of the wall surface, the shaded corners of the material to be laid should also be compacted with a press board so that they fit tightly into the corners.

Remove excess sapwood after laying: lap the wallboard on the upper wall part of the floor with a lap length of approx. 20 mm. Excess edge material after laying can be removed by cutting with a utility knife.

The difference in height between the finished wall panel and the substrate can be repaired first by using wall levelling material to form a slope so that there are no visible bumps on the perimeter lap. Allow time for the levelling material to dry before proceeding to the next step.

A control line is drawn on the paved wall surface, which is the lower positioning line of the perimeter wall material. The perimeter material and the paved homogeneous vinyl wall covering  are lapped downwards by 20 mm, and the wall base and the lapped wall panels need to be glued at the same time when gluing.

In order to prevent glue pollution should be put on the control line below the protective paper. Seam treatment wall plastic material installation joints generally only need to lap treatment.
