3 WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION Once the surface has been adhered to the wall, it cannot be repositioned or re-used. Follow the installation instructions to prevent damage to the wall. The surface will only properly adhere to a clean, dry wall. Follow the wall preparation instructions and ensure your wall is completely dry before installing the surface. To avoid damage to the product such as chipping and cracking, ensure the surface has reached room temperature before unrolling. Allow the surface to rest and flatten before installation.

4 STEP 1 WALL AND SURFACE PREPARATION July 2016 Page 4

5 Prepare the wall before installing the surface The WhisperTek surface can be installed on Drywall MDF (medium density fiberboard) Laminated wood G1S plywood (plywood with one smooth, finished side) Drywall, MDF and G1S plywood must be primed, painted and sealed using a durable, smooth low-gloss latex paint. Any paint or plaster must be completely dry before beginning the surface installation. 1. Wipe down the wall with an alcohol-based cleaner Use an alcohol-based, residue-free cleaner to remove all grease, dirt and dust. Caution: Rubbing alcohol/isopropyl alcohol can remove paint if applied directly to the wall. If you are creating your own cleaner, use a 50/50 mixture of water and alcohol. 2. Allow the wall to dry completely Ensure the wall is completely dry before beginning the installation process. Moisture from the cleaning solution or fresh paint and plaster will prevent the surface from adhering to the wall. July 2016 Page 5

6 Allow the surface to rest and flatten before installation 1. Carefully unroll the surface Before you remove the surface from the packaging, ensure it has adjusted to room temperature to reduce the risk of chipping or cracking. Examine the floor and remove any debris that might scratch or dent the surface, then carefully unroll with the adhesive liner facing up. 2. Leave the surfaces to flatten Flattening the surface makes it easier to install. Place a heavy object that won t puncture or damage the adhesive layer onto each corner to speed up the flattening process. Allow the surfaces to flatten for an hour or two. How do I know if the surface is ready to install? The surface will not flatten completely, but if the edges of the surface have visibly relaxed once you remove the objects weighing it down, then the surface is ready to install. If the edges of the surface spring back up when the objects are removed, it needs more time to flatten before installation. July 2016 Page 6

7 STEP 2 MEASURE AND MARK July 2016 Page 7

8 Measure and mark the installation location Mark the centerline of your Span system. Measure 62 (157 cm) to both the left and the right of the centerline and mark those spots to determine the outside edges of the surface. 3. Measure 80 (203 cm) from the floor and mark that spot to determine the installation height. Use that mark to align your laser level. Make marks along the laser level line for the outside edges and the system centerline. Measure from each of those marks to the floor to ensure they are all 80 (203 cm) tall. It is likely there will be a small variation in measurement if the floor is not perfectly level. If the variation in measurements is significant, follow these steps to average out the difference: - Find the difference between the highest and lowest measurement - Divide the difference by two - Move the laser level either up or down by that amount to establish the new height placement July 2016 Page 8

9 STEP 3 INSTALL THE SURFACE July 2016 Page 9

10 Fold down a 6 (15 cm) wide horizontal strip at the top edge of the surface to where the liner is cut in the center. Next, fold down the top inner corner on the other side of the adhesive liner. July 2016 Page 10

11 Align the surface Person A aligns The top of the surface with the laser level line Person B aligns The top of the surface with the laser level line The center of the surface with the system centerline July 2016 Page 11

12 Once the surface has been adhered to the wall, it cannot be repositioned or reused July 2016 Page 12

13 Remove the adhesive liner While person A holds one side of the surface, person B pulls the bottom of the surface away from the wall to remove the adhesive liner. Do not bend the surface at a sharp angle as this can cause creases on the surface. Once the liner has been removed, Person A must ensure they are supporting the bottom of the surface and keeping the surface taut while Person B smoothes it against the wall. July 2016 Page 13

14 July 2016 Page 14

15 Adhere the second half of the surface Once the first half is adhered, person A pulls the surface away from the wall carefully, keeping it taut while avoiding creasing the surface in the center. Person B goes behind the surface to remove the adhesive liner from the second half of the surface. Person A holds the outside edge of the surface while person B smoothes it against the wall starting at the center and working progressively toward the outer edge using up-and-down strokes.

16 Apply pressure with the roller across the entire surface The bond strength of the adhesive is dependent upon the the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact. Use the roller with firm pressure. Start at one end of the surface and ensure you roll over the entire surface area as you work to the other side Nureva Inc. All rights reserved.
