After the tape film has been removed, avoid touching the adhesive strips and protect them from dust and debris.Do you ? barn wood? This is 100% naturally weathered reclaimed wood made in the USA. For this reason, all measuring, cutting and test fitting of planks must be done prior to removing the tape film. Take my word from experience that the Timberchich strips utilize a very strong adhesive, and once a board is pressed firmly to a wall, you’re more likely to tear the wood plank off the strips than you are to pull the strips off the wall. I realize that some people cringe at the thought of a “peel-and-stick” product because inferior products in the past have been known to come “unstuck” and move around (I’m looking at you, cheapo peel-and-stick flooring).

Any wall repairs requiring joint compound need to be primed or painted. The wall surface needs to be clean (free and debris and loose drywall), smooth (so sand down any bumps) and flat (within 1/4 inch over 4 feet).
Also, determine whether you need any outside corners or end caps-or if you’ll be customizing any of the surrounding trimwork using a different material. To order the Timberchic product, you’ll need to calculate the amount of square footage of your project, then add 5 percent to account for waste.
