FLUFFO SOFT Wall Panels Instruction Manual

FLUFFO SOFT Wall Panels

Thank you for choosing Fluffo soft wall panels. The installation procedure is very simple and straightforward. We recommend following the manual. In case of any further questions or if you need help with installation please contact us at sales@fluffo.uk or call us at 0044 0208 610 9988.

Preparation works: Remove the panels from the packaging and lay them on a flat surface letting them stretch and set the foam. We recommend leaving the panels for at least 5-8 hours before installation.

Prepare your tools

Fluffo fix adhesive, adhesive cartridge gun spirit level,  ruler, pencil, tape measure, and Stanley knife.

Step 1. Draw the starting lines
Carefully measure up and set starting lines with the pencil. If your layout is symmetrical start drawing setting lines and installation of panels from the center of the wall.

There’s no need to prime the wall or prepare the surface. Fluffo Fix tube adhesive with an initial high grab bond will glue to most wall surfaces.

Step 2. Apply adhesive
Apply Fluffo Fix adhesive at the rear of the panel with a thin line of glue at approx. 3mm from the panel edges. With larger panels please apply more adhesive lines in the middle of the panel too.

• Adhesive should have room temperature. In case if the cartridge is cold, insert the tube to the water to warm up and dissolve.
• Cut the nozzle approx. 15-20mm from the top to allow wide spread of the adhesive and better bond.
• Press the cartridge nozzle firmly to the rear of the panel and slowly move the cartridge applying glue at the same time.

The adhesive line should not be too high, spread the excess of adhesive with the knife of blade. Avoid contact of the adhesive with the front or the edges of panels. In case of contact with front of the panel please remove the adhesive immediately using wet/damp cloth. We do not recommend gluing the sides of the panels. Please glue only the rear of the panel to the wall/surface.

Step 3. Glue the panels
Carefully position the panel and firmly press the panel to the wall.

• Position the panel.
• Firmly press the panel to the wall.
• Using Fluffo Fix adhesive you can glue panels to any surfaces – even to the ceiling.

Fluffo Fix adhesive has an initial high tack bond and the panel will glue to the wall immediately. You can continue gluing the following panels right after.

Step 4. Adjust the edges of the panels
Carefully position the panel’s edges, and make sure the panels are parallel, straight, and lined up. Please make sure there’s no gaps between the panels. You can move the panels by firmly pressing and moving/sliding the panel towards the next panel.

• Adjust the panel edges and make sure the panels line up.
• You can adjust the panel’s edges within 20-40 min from the gluing time.
• Firmly press the panel and move to the next panel to adjust the edges.

You can adjust the panels edges and correct the position of the panel within 20-40 minutes from the gluing time. This depends on the room temperature and humidity level in the area. Panels are made from high density foam which could shrink or stretch. Thanks to its flexibility, panels can be easily repositioned within the recommended timeframe.

Step 5. Cutting the panels
You can mark the cutting line at the rear of the panel or on the edges. Please allow 2-3 mm tolerance. Use ruler or spirit level to cut the panel. Please do not press the ruler and carefully cut the panel using sharp stanley knife. Please always cut the panels from the top of the panel surface!

• Mark the cutting line, please allow 2-3 mm space.
• Cut the panel at the front using a sharp and clean Stanley knife.
• Please note the cutting will expose the internal foam structure of the panel. Make sure the cutting edge is at the wall edges and is not exposed.

For best cutting results we recommend using Stanley knife with a sharp and clean blade. Please replace the blade if damaged or broken. The exposed cutting edge should be always fitted at the edge of the wall or between the wall and ceiling/floor area. If you allow 2-3 mm of space when cutting the panel, it will be much easier to line up the panel and position it with side panels and side walls.

Step 6. Cutting out around switches and sockets.
Switches and power sockets should always be cut out in the panel. Please remove the socket/switch front plate, cut out the panel, and apply adhesive around the cutting. For flush wall sockets and switches (and depending on panel thickness) we recommend using a surface-mounted electrical back box, 25-35mm thick, and fixing the front plate to the back box.

• Mark the cut-out on the panel
• Cut out the cable opening 8-10mm smaller than the socket.
• Carefully pull the electrical wires through the opening and glue the panel to the wall.

Switches and power sockets should always be disconnected from the power supply during the panel installation. Working on electrical sockets can be very dangerous. We recommend hiring a qualified electrician to remove and install sockets/switches.

Step 7. Drying time and cleaning the wall.
Please allow the panels to be fully set and dry. The full setting time for adhesive is 24 hours. You can clean the panels after the drying time using a domestic vacuum cleaner with a clean nozzle suitable for cleaning upholstery.

Daily use and maintenance

• Keep away from sharp objects and furniture corners.
• Keep them clean and stain-free.
• Do not be exposed to sunlight or intense UV waves to avoid discoloration.

Cleaning recommendations

• clean the panels using a domestic vacuum cleaner with a furniture cleaning adapter
• remove stains using a damp cloth and wipe the whole panel instead of scrubbing in the one spot
• to refresh the look and color of the panels simply use hover, spray wall panels with water mist, and wipe with dry sponge after 2 minutes.
