J CAP

Acousticord vertical rib / railroaded installationPlease note material installed railroaded with vertical rib can make 90° turns. Run full sheet along ceiling line to keep horizontal seam below eye level. Optional to specify brushed aluminum 3/16 inch J cap for certain applications.

OUTSIDE CORNER TURN

3/16" Outside Corner Turn TrimHorizontal rib installations require bullnose outside sheetrock

corners or specify Outside Corner Turn Trim. Available in brushed

aluminum in 9 ft and 12 ft lengths. Simply specify ACS-10316OCT-9

for 9 ft length or ACS-10316OCT-12 for 12 ft length to select the

appropriate length needed.

Acousticord horizontal rib installationPlease note material installed with horizontal rib cannot turn outside 90° corners. The maximum radius that can be turned is a bullnose outside sheetrock corner. Another method to handle outside corners is to specify brushed aluminum 3/16 inch outside corner turn. Optional 3/16 inch J cap may be used in certain applications.

TROWEL RECOMMENDATIONSSmooth Surfaces Concrete and Smooth

ADHESIVE Sisal Bond 257 Sisal Adhesive is the only approved adhesive for reversible sisal wallcovering. Failure to use the specifi ed adhesive will relieve manufacturer and distributor of all responsibility.

SISAL WALLCOVERING Allow wallcovering to acclimate to the working conditions (temperature and humidity) of the job site for 24 hours before installation.

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION Apply only to structurally sound interior surfaces such as drywall, plaster, wallboard, plywood, concrete block or masonry wall, etc. All grease, oil, lint, dust, loose and scaly paint, wax and/or old adhesive must be removed. Walls should be cleaned, primed or painted before applying adhesive. Old wallpaper and/or vinyl wallcovering should be removed.

CONCRETE BLOCK OR MASONRY WALLS Concrete curing compounds and parting compounds used in some construction will interfere with adhesion and any remaining residue must be removed. A moisture test should be made. It is impossible to tell the moisture content just by looking. A moisture meter is required for accurate measurement. Porosity also affects the adhesive bond. All areas must be primed with a good primer 24 hours prior to hanging sisal.

INSTALLING SISAL When applying Sisal Adhesive to the wall, use recommended trowel sizes. Coverage on any smooth surface is approximately 55-60 square feet per gallon. On irregular surfaces, such as acoustical surfaces or concrete block, coverage is approximately 35-40 square feet per gallon. Adhesive must completely cover walls or bubbles and/or delaminating will occur.

Observe the open time of Sisal Adhesive under job conditions. Be watchful of vents, doorways and open windows that can affect drying time of some areas differently than others. For best results, leave approximately one inch of sisal longer than the wall for trimming. Use a good quality carpet knife or utility knife with a fresh blade to make cuts. Be sure to change blades frequently.

With the proper amount of adhesive applied to the wall, take the sisal to the starting point and unroll on the wall. Position the sisal using a knee kicker. Once positioned, take a hand-held carpet roller and roll the entire strip of sisal to the wall. Pre-crease outside corners for secure fi t. Set sisal approximately ¼" from inside corners, door jams, ceilings, trim, etc., and gently place in position using a knee kicker.

Sisal wallcovering may be installed by either “railroading” (ribs running vertically) or “paneling” (ribs running horizontally). Either installation can be used successfully: the correct method is generally dictated by the layout of the walls to be covered. The installation with the fewest seams is generally the best installation.

CLEAN UP Clean up tools with a wet, soapy cloth. If adhesive gets on the surface of the sisal, let dry for 36 hours and pick out with a dull knife. DO NOT wipe off, this will cause the adhesive to be pushed into the fi bers.

GENERAL CARE The best care you can give your natural fi ber wallcovering is regular, thorough vacuuming. For best results, vacuum from different directions, making several passes over the area. Heaviest traffi c areas require the most attention and should receive regular vacuuming to reduce soil build-up and prolong the beauty and life of the wallcovering.

CLEANING YOUR WALLCOVERING NEVER saturate your wallcovering with water or cleaner, this will stain it. Any method that involves saturation with water, such as steam cleaning, hot water extraction or wet shampooing should NOT be used. These methods can cause shrinkage, dimensional changes, and staining of natural fi bers. WHEN liquid spills occur, blot up (do not rub) immediately with a clean, dry, undyed cloth. If the spilled material is solid, scrape up what you can with a dull-edge spatula. DRY EXTRACTION methods of cleaning spills and stains are recommended, such as the Host® Dry Carpet Cleaning System or similar. For information on the Host® Dry Carpet Cleaning System, visit www.hostcarpetcleaning.com. ALWAYS test the cleaning method to ensure that color is not affected. Test in a small, concealed area fi rst.

THESE CARE AND CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS PROVIDE PRACTICAL GUIDELINES FOR KEEPING YOUR WALLCOVERING LOOKING ITS BEST. HOWEVER, RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLEANING AND MAINTAINING LIES WITH THOSE WHO PERFORM THE TASK.
