Scandatex Installation

We have given Scandatex a soft treatment. The advantages are evident if you crumple a piece of Scandatex and release it. Immediately it regains its shape without any creases. This flexibility makes Scandatex easy to install, especially in difficult areas such as around pillars, corners and edges. Scandatex withstands rough handling, both when wet and dry. You can easily smooth out folds or air bubbles without disrupting the weave. A length of Scandatex can even be removed from the wall and re-hung, if necessary. The lengths are put up edge to edge, and the joints become invisible after painting. Scandatex can be applied to just about any surface. It takes glue and paint well. Paint spreads quickly and easily over the surface. Scandatex can be re-painted up to eight times, which helps reduce maintenance costs. Add this functionality to the new, improved appearances of the textile patterns. It is an impressive combination.

1. Preparing the wall surface. Fill surface irregularities.

2. Rub down with sandpaper. (Easier with a tool with a handle.)

3. Roll the adhesive onto the wall.

4. Put up the fabric. Cut the fabric in lengths using a sharp knife and straight edge. Measure the height of the wall + 10 cm.

5. Apply the fabric at the ceiling and press down. Make sure that the first length hangs vertically.

6. Hang the fabric with a butt joint.

7. Press well onto the surface with a plastic spatula. (A steel putty knife with rounded corners may also be used).

8. Trim neatly at the ceiling and floor with a sharp knife.

9. Painting the wall. The last stage is painting the fabric. Use an angled brush or a small radiator roller along joints, ceilings, floors, etc. Then apply the paint with a roller. Two coats of paint give the wall a decorative and durable finish.
