1a PREPARATION |
1b MEASURE AREA |
1c CUTTING |
 |
 |
 |
|
To avoid damage all panels should be wrapped with protective packaging while in storage or being moved. Prior to installation a sound structure is required to affix the panels to - e.g. Ply or MDF, wooden battens or metal framework. |
Measure the area where the installation will be made. Calculate how full panels can be positioned to most economically cover all, or the majority, of the area. Next, calculate how many cut panels will be needed to complete the area (if required). Add up the number of panels (full and cut) required and ensure that you have this number available. |
Cut full panels into pieces to fit into the areas remining after full panels have been installed. Remember to leave up to 5mm space between panels (depending upon panel design) to ensure a consistent and seamless design is acheived between panels. Cut panels evenly and continuously on a flat surface using a radial saw or angle grinder (preferably with blades/ disks for fibre/ polyester).

4a SEALING |
 |
 |
 |
|
Place panels in position one at a time and drill holes through the panel and structure behind. |
Once all panels have been screwed into place the next step is to seal the spaces between each panel. This is completed using Muros mastic (like a soft putty) and Muros catalyst. You will require approximately 1kg mastic per installed panel (quantities vary based on installation type). To prepare the mastic, add 10cc of catalyst for every 1kg of mastic - and mix both together. The mastic is now ready to use.
|
Mastic should be applied promptly following preparation. Do not leave uncovered or leave in heat as the mastic may set before application. Using a spatula apply mastic in the spaces between each installed panel. The mastic will harden to form a strong seal between each panel. Also apply to hide the screw heads and where any panel rebuilding or repair is required.

5a PAINTING |

Before the mastic sets shape it with light touches using a no 6 brush. The goal is to match the texture and relief of the panel design. This is a critical part of the installation process because joins between panels should not be visible. Regularly remove excess mastic and clean the brush continuously with acetone. |
When the mastic is dry paint it using specified Muros paints. The aim is to integrate the colours to ensure a perfect finish with consistent relief, texture and colour over the whole decorated area. A sponge may be used to rub the surface lightly to combine the paint with the surrounding panel. |
This is the final step... the installation is complete. Your environment has been successfully transformed using Muros Wall Panels. |
