Full surface | right adhesive | notched trowel

One of the most important aspects when applying is the full-surface bonding of the wall with the appropriate adhesive. On this adhesive, the individual strips are then pressed loose to the adhesive on the wall. It should be noted that they use a notched trowel with 3 / 4mm toothing, so that when pressing the wooden strips into the adhesive, a full-surface wetting of the wooden aprons can be guaranteed. Due to the natural extent of the wood, depending on temperature and humidity, we recommend leaving a gap at the top and bottom of the wall. You will find the suitable adhesive and the right tool in our category → Equipment

Our wood wallcovering is only suitable for indoor use and should only be used there. Exterior woods need to be specially sealed to ensure durability in different weather conditions. We bring a piece of nature into your home and therefore refrain from using such special sealants to keep the product as natural as possible. Whether in the living room, bedroom or other rooms - within your living area you have the choice to choose where to put your wooden wall paneling. Even behind fireplaces or in the bathroom natural accents can be set with wood. Please note our notes on the respective field of application.

There is no need to leave any gaps between the individual wooden straps, it is enough if the straps are simply pressed together. However, due to the natural extent of the wood, depending on temperature and humidity, we recommend leaving a gap at the top and bottom of the wall. This gives the wood the space required for expansion without causing too much tension.

No. Sealing or priming of the substrate is not recommended and may seriously affect the adhesion of the adhesive. You can attach the wooden strips directly to the wall without having to treat them in advance.

1m² = 600ml Adhesive
For 1m² of a wodewa wallcovering you will need about 600ml (1kg) of a corresponding adhesive. In this case, a full-surface and uniform bonding is required. The suitable adhesive can be found on our shop in the category Equipment / Adhesive.

Almost. To ensure a good durability and strength of the adhesive on an acrylic wall, it is necessary that this wall is sanded in advance. This sanding ensures that the adhesive can reach the required adhesive effect on the wall.

As a suitable adhesive, take a permanently elastic parquet adhesive that is not water-based. This prevents the swelling and bowling of the wood and thus guarantees a long and good durability. Regular universal adhesive or assembly adhesive is often water-based and therefore does not offer the necessary durability. Furthermore, this is in cartridges, which complicates a necessary full-surface order. In our category "Equipment" you will find suitable adhesives that meet all requirements and have been selected specifically for you.

The durability of the adhesive in the opened state must be clearly differentiated between a adhesive bucket and glue tube. The adhesive bucket can be stored for a certain period of time after opening, but it should be noted here that the adhesive will then set relatively quickly, since the humidity in the bucket leads to a binding reaction. An exact duration can not be mentioned here, because this depends on the remaining amount. An adhesive tube, on the other hand, can tightly closed with an cable ties after opening, making it virtually "steam-tight" sealed and durable.

Cutting the wooden strips is relatively easy and can best be done with a circular saw. As a cheap alternative, you will find a fine saw with cutting load, which is ideal for the wodewa strips. This provides support and ensures a straight cut of the strips. Shortening is optionally also possible with a hand saw (fretsaw or similar). It is also possible to cut the 2mm straps even with a sharp craft knife.

Of course. The advantage of wodewa single laying principle in comparison to whole panels is not only the beautiful look, but also the much lower waste. You lay a series of wooden strips on your wall and cut the last strips to the lenght you need. Now you can use this end in the next row immediately and get thus a natural and irregular 3D-effect, which gives the wall the special flair. You can therefore use any blend for your wall and you do not have to plan for a direct waste, as is often the case with finished panels. This not only protects nature, but also your wallet.
