Duratec Installation Instructions

Tough but Pretty! Duratec is the ideal multi-functional wall selection for patients, patrons, and everyone in between. It is our breakthrough concept for wall protection as it is skillfully engineered to protect against collision impact, abrasions, and scratches, while also being built strong enough to withstand full-strength bleach and disinfectants. Surface Preparation: All surfaces must be clean, dry, smooth and structurally sound. Sand finish plaster must be scraped smooth. Cinder or cement block must be plastered or cemented before application of wallcovering. Newly plastered walls must be thoroughly dry and properly cured before application. Usual wall preparation to a Level 4 finish is satisfactory. Do not apply over an alkyd coating or an impermeable surface. Walls that are tightly sealed with several coats of paint must be opened with rough sandpaper to allow adhesive to properly dry. Prime the surface with a high quality acrylic wallcovering primer and do not apply over an alkyd coating. Verify moisture content of the wall (less than 7%) as well as the adhesion bond of the primer before installing any wallcovering.
