0ur bamboo poles wall cover which is exclusively developed by us, our bamboo poles wall cover is strung together with copper wire To install them over the wall or the ceiling, just unroll them and lay them flat to the wall, adjust the half split bamboo poles that are loosen for the ease of rolling and shipping. Then pull and stress the bamboo poles wall together tight, secure the cover to the wall with screws. Make sure you pre thrill the holes through the bamboo first. The right way of installation of the bamboo cover on walls or ceilings is to start on one ends, then gradually smoothing them over toward the other end like installing carpet, you might need to put a few finish nail on the corner or the middle of the wall if sagging develop If you are using rolled bamboo, willow or reed fences with wire lines (all the rolled fences) should be stapled on the wire only. This allows the staple to partially disappear between the slats or poles and does not damage them. The light or dark color bamboo plank cannot be pasted on walls or ceilings with a water based paste. The material will swell with water and shrink after the paste dries. This will result in the material popping off the wall. You should capture this material with molding on the ends. Staples can be inserted between and in line with the slats for ceilings. Staples are normally not needed for walls since the product is stiff enough not to buckle out when the ends are captured. For very bold ceiling or wall bamboo treatments, half round bamboo is normally installed with deck screws or dry wall screws, stick by stick. Pre-drill the bamboo and countersink. Do not over-tighten the screws as the bamboo will crack. Half rounds up to six feet can be split with a knife. For longer lengths the natural left hand twist of the bamboo grain make it necessary to make the half round cuts with a saw. The screw line can be covered with a thin slat or another half round if desired, however, a neat row of screws is not unattractive. |
