NOTE: Before Concreate wall panels can be delivered to the job site, all wet trades (e.g. concrete, plastering, and decorating) must be finished and the building must be weather tight and thoroughly dried out.

The installer is the last line of quality control. DO NOT INSTALL BOARDS WITH OBVIOUS DEFECTS.

1. Open Packages (Take care not to damage corners and edges.)
2. Layout / Composition of Individual Panels (Refer to Pre-installation Preparation ‘Consistently Inconsistent’ section of these guidelines)
3. Snap Points or Layout and Select Starting Point for layout.
4. Cutting Wall Panels (Utilize the ‘Score and Snap’ method, as shown on the left, or standard construction cutting methods may be employed. See additional information under Safety Recommendations)
5. Sand any ragged Edges with sanding Block
6. Apply Adhesive with a Standard Caulk Gun
7. Place Wall panel (Some adhesives may be more workable than others; be sure to read manufacturers recommended working time before installation.)
8. Repeat Steps with Subsequent Panels, Making Sure to be Careful with Corners and Edges (If necessary, use rubber mallet and rubber tapping blocks to maneuver panels into proper and tight fitment with one another.)
9. Use Fusion Pro Single Component Grout to Fill and Seal Seams Between Panels.

Installation Tips:
When installing wall panels, check occasional panels after placement to ensure that they are fully bonded to the substrate. If loose, a pneumatic nail gun may be used to tack panels into place. Tiny nail holes will need to be filled with Fusion Pro Single Component Grout .

When protecting the installed surface from other trades, apply tape ONLY to the protective material. DO NOT APPLY TAPE DIRECTLY TO THE SURFACE. Applying tape of any kind directly onto Concreate surface will result in damage to the finish. Damage caused by tape application is not covered in our warranty.

Note:
Concreate’s concrete and wood flooring planks may be used together; they have the same thickness, tongue and groove edges, and installation methods.
Patterns may also be rotated ninety degrees to create interesting and dynamic spaces.
Concreate invites designers to be creative in layouts of flooring planks. These suggestions are simply a starting point!

Consistently Inconsistent:
Concreate is a natural surface with tonal and color variation. To achieve the desired mix of colors, shades and other characteristics in the final floor, and avoid clusters of similar color shades, the contents of multiple packs should be mixed during installation. Samples must be taken as a guide only and color/shade and other characteristics will vary. Before installation commences rack out a small section of boards for the client approval. This product may include up to 3-5% of boards which do not meet the usual tolerances or grade, which should be defect cut or set aside as waste.
