Use this guide for cork wall tiles and panels without an MDF core, including layout, adhesive planning, cutting, and surface preparation.
Start here
Use this page when
- The product is a cork wall tile or wall panel without MDF backing.
- You are installing on a wall, ceiling, feature wall, or acoustic surface.
- You need layout, adhesive, cutting, and substrate preparation guidance.
Before you start
- Confirm the wall is clean, dry, stable, and suitable for adhesive.
- Plan layout, pattern direction, cuts, outlets, and edges before applying adhesive.
- Order samples when color, texture, depth, or lighting matters.
Tools and materials to confirm
- Measuring tape, level, pencil, straightedge, utility knife, and cutting tools.
- Approved wall adhesive for the product and substrate.
- Roller or pressure tools recommended by the adhesive guide.
Installation workflow
- Clean and prepare the wall surface.
- Mark level reference lines and dry-fit the layout.
- Cut panels or tiles before adhesive is applied when possible.
- Apply adhesive and set pieces in sequence.
- Check alignment, pressure, edges, and cleanup as the wall progresses.
Important mistakes to avoid
- Do not install over loose paint, dust, damp walls, or unstable substrates.
- Do not start without confirming adhesive compatibility.
- Do not begin from an unlevel reference line.
After installation
- Allow adhesive to cure before adding shelves, fixtures, or impact loads.
- Clean only with approved methods.
- Keep extra tiles for future repairs.
