Installation - ECORE ECOfit Technical Manual

E. The material and adhesive must be acclimated at room temperature for a minimum of 48 hours
before starting installation.
V. INSTALLATION PREP
A. Rolls must be unrolled and installed in the same direction (Directional arrows are stamped on
bottom of the rolls; see Figure 1.) Rolls are labeled with batch numbers and roll numbers. Do
not mix batch numbers together and install all rolls in consecutive order. Laying rolls in the
opposite direction and out of sequence can cause color variations between the rolls.
Figure 1
B. Note: Custom roll lengths eliminate the possibility of the rolls being manufactured and
numbered in the customer's desired installation sequence, and Ecore cannot be responsible for
any resulting shading issues.
C. Roll material is stretched slightly when it is rolled at the factory. Unroll all rolls and allow to
relax for a minimum of two hours before gluing or cutting material. Shaking the material once
unrolled can help it to relax.
D. Snap a chalk line where the first seam will be located. Straight cut the edge of the first piece if
required. Align the first roll factory edge to the chalk line.
E. Straight edge the second lineal drop if the first lineal drop is not long enough to span the entire
length or width of the room. If end or head seams are necessary, they should be staggered on
the floor and overlapped approximately 3-6".
F. Position second row with no more than 1/8" overlap over the first roll at the seam (see Figure
2). After adhesive is applied to the substrate, the material will be worked back to eliminate the
overlap. This procedure will leave tight seams and eliminate any gaps. Care should be taken to
not over compress the seams. Over compressed seams will cause peaking.
G. Repeat for each consecutive roll to be installed that day.
