INSTALLATION METHODAPPLICATIONS

• The Venue series are decorative finishing materials used predominantly for vertical application

• The Venue series can be used anywhere you would use plastic laminates, vinyl wallcoverings, wallpaper or wood surfacing panels

• Do not use The Venue on a horizontal work surface unless the intention is to cover it with a protective sheet of glass

• The exception to the above would be a decorative ceiling panel/tile• Specific applications would be:

o Vertical wall treatmentso Elevator interiorso Furniture i.e. headboardso Store fixtureso Shelveso Doorso Ceiling tileso Cabinet faces and doors

Wet rooms • The Venue is suitable for use in bathrooms

IMPORTANT! • Direct contact with water is to be avoided!

INSTALLATION Material can be installed by a qualified wall covering contractor or carpenter when being applied to Millwork

Material that is shipped rolled should be laid flat for 24 hours prior to installation Acclimatization • Material should be acclimatized in the space for 24 hours prior to installation• Ideal working temperature in the space for installation should be between 59 and 86 degreesIn a temperature-controlled environment, the Venue series a dimensionally stable product. However, a temperature fluctuation of 50° will cause expansion/contraction of a little under 1/32” over 39”

What does this mean? This means that The Venue series should be installed only when the buildings environmental systems are operating. Or they are going into a space where temperature fluctuation is not an issue. If the temperature fluctuates over that range (50°) you will see either gapping or buckling at the seams where the material butts. To compensate in installations where this may occur the vertical surface behind the material can be painted to match the base color of The Venue series and a 2mm gap can be left between panels.

As an example of the type of installation that can be problematic are lobbies with high atriums and sky lights. Cooled air will sink while the upper levels of the atrium can be very hot.

The Venue series can be ordered, prepared for installation with: • Self-adhesive pressure sensitive back, unbacked, or prepared for PVA glue*.

Adhesives: • Water based contact adhesives are an acceptable means to apply The Venue series to a

substrate.• All adhesives should be tested for compatibility prior to application.

*Sheets that are to be used with PVA adhesives go through an additional manufacturing process and must be processed within 6 months of the manufacturing date. The sheets are delivered with a label on the back that notes that they have been prepared for PVA adhesive and the date of manufacture.

The advantage of using a press with PVA glue will be no expansion and contraction of the material. This will allow the builder to attain a flush edge application of the material. This is especially important if an edge trim is going to be applied.

Typically, you would see this type of application on doors, drawer fronts, cabinetry and furniture as well as store fixtures and displays.

Processing: We recommend that the reverse side of The Venue sheet should be slightly roughened with sandpaper, but the resulting dust must be completely removed. Apply adhesive all over to the whole prepared and cleaned surface using a fine trowel with A1 teeth or a medium trowel with A2 teeth, depending on relief of the pattern, and press on firmly. At processing temperatures of 65° F - 86° F, the adhesive should then be left to air dry for approx. 15 minutes. Finger test: After application with the trowel, the minimum drying time is reached when the adhesive no longer sticks to the fingers.

• The bond is resistant to humidity; contact with water should be avoided.• Clean tools immediately after use with water.• Protect unused adhesive from frost.• Use in a well-ventilated area• Shelf life is up to 6 months in sealed containers.

The Venue can be installed on both porous and non-porous surfaces Porous surfaces can include: • Chip board• MDF• Gypsum• Sheetrock• Masonry

When The Venue is being applied to a porous substrate the substrate should be sealed prior to installation with a water-based contact adhesive. Non-porous surface includes: • lacquered surfaces• plastic laminate• melamine• vinyl

MAINTENANCEIn the case of light dirt: • Use a soft cleaning cloth, which is dust - and dirt-

free.In the case of heavy dirt: • Use a standard plastic or glass cleaning agent.• Do not spray the cleaner directly onto the material surface, but sparingly onto a soft

cloth!• Do not employ abrasives, cleaning agents containing solvents, or pure alcohol.• Clean leather surfaces using standard liquid soap and then remove it with a damp

cloth.

WARRANTYASI | Architectural Systems, Inc. issues a warranty of 2 years from invoice date to all his products if the following requirements are fulfilled: • compliance with the application instructions• indoor application• no direct contact with water

Direct sun light can slightly change the color of dark surfaces after some time. Sunlight does not harm the glossy respectively metallic effect at interior applications. Mechanical load such as scratches, pressure marks, etc. are excluded.

Please note that variations in color and texture may occur due to the nature of the material.

Surface/application • Must be dry, smooth, free of loose material, dust and dirt, grease, wax and silicon.• In order to achieve maximum adhesion, non-absorbent surfaces should be cleaned with

alcohol (ethanol, isopropyl alcohol).• Adhesive sheets are suitable for both absorbent and non-absorbent surfaces, although

nonabsorbent surfaces are recommended.• In the case of porous or highly absorbent surfaces, e.g. brickwork, we recommend our

dispersion adhesive as a suitable first coat.• Where the surface is concave or convex, all sheet edges must be anchored mechanically using

profiles.Cutting, drilling, punching, sawing • Cutting must always take place starting from the upper/patterned surface.

Bonding • The ideal working temperature is between +15° C and +30° C (+59° F to +86° F).• The patterned sheets must be acclimatized, i.e. they must be brought up to room

temperature prior to processing (avoidance of condensation on the adhesive surface).• A temperature increase of 10° C (50° F) will cause our products to expand by approximately

0.7 mm over a length of 1 m.• Expansion and contraction of the material should be taken into consideration when

temperature and humidity are not maintained at a constant level.• Air bubbles must be avoided; use a medium-hard rubber roller with a width of approx. 170

mm.• Gradually remove the adhesive backing cover and press as firmly as possible onto the

underlying surface. Do not touch the adhesive surface.• WARNING: Do not employ adhesives containing solvents as these can dissolve our backing

material!

Surface protection • The upper sheet surface is safeguarded against damage by a protective film, which is

removed after processing.
