Installation Instructions
VeneerBric sheets can be installed by roughly following industry standard wallpaper installation
instructions. Listed below are recommended installation instructions for your reference.
1. Prepare the walls.
If you're hanging the sheet on new drywall, prime the wall first with wallpaper primer to
seal the drywall and help the sheet adhere to the wall.
Wash any dirt or dust from the old walls and sand smooth any chipped paint.
Remove old wallpaper using wallpaper remover, a wide blade, and rags.
Remove electrical outlet and light switch covers.
Use a putty knife to apply spackle over holes or cracks. Allow the spackle to dry, then
sand lightly until the surface is smooth.
2. Pick a starting point.
The first sheet will line up with the last sheet you hang and the pattern should match up at
that place. You will want to start and finish installing sheets in a corner, near the curtains
or behind a door so that the mismatch is less obvious. The focal point of the room should
have the fewest seams.
Measure out from your starting point and use a level to lightly draw a vertical straight edge
on the wall. This line marks where the first sheet should be placed.
3. Cut the sheet.
Lay the first sheet, print side up, on the flat work surface. Confirm the top and bottom of
the pattern. Measure, and then cut the first sheet to the proper length. Measure and cut
the next several sheets in order. The factory width edges (left and right) have pattern
bleed over. This masks the white substrate so that when installing sheet to sheet, the
seams are less noticeable. Cut out receptacle and other switch plates using sharp utility
knife and customary industry practices.
4. Apply wallpaper paste.
Apply pre-mixed paste to the wall where the next sheet will be applied. Apply pre-mixed
paste using a large pasting brush, paint roller, notched trowel, or as recommended by
paste manufacturer. DO NOT apply paste to the veneer bric sheet. Be sure that all areas
of the wall where the sheet is being applied to are covered with paste, with no un-pasted
spots.
Select the proper adhesive for your application. Two wallpaper adhesives have been
tested successfully with Veneer Bric sheets:
Pro 888 Ultra Plus from Roman
XT-2000+ from Formulated-Solutions
