- The substrate must be dry, stable, evenly absorbent, clean, dust-free, smooth, sufficiently even for wallpapering and of a neutral colour.
- Remove stains or colour differences on the wall with a suitable pigmented wallpaper primer to prevent them from shining through.
- Cracks, holes and unevenness must be repaired with suitable measures before wallpapering.
- Allow freshly plastered surfaces to dry thoroughly.
- Set highly absorbent surfaces with a suitable unpigmented or water-based primer.
- The substrate must still be evenly absorbent after the primer coat.
- Primer:

- Check and visually inspect the membranes BEFORE processing for deviations and/or defects and, if necessary, apply the adhesive in an inverted position.
- Preliminary tests/sample tests
- Start at the window or light source
- Ensure room temperature +18 to +25C, humidity 30 to 60% and draught

- Bring the natural surface to room temperature before unpacking.
- Mark the first track vertically.
- Apply a thick and even layer of paste to the surface to be wallpapered using a short pile roller and a brush in the corners.
- Keep fleece backing dry and clean.
- Insert the wallpaper into the adhesive bed without soaking time, starting from the top.
- Press on the sheets with a rubber roller without bubbles or creases.
- Cut off any excess, e.g. on the ceiling or floor, using a wallpaper ruler and cutter knife.

- Apply the adhesive for the second sheet to be laid.
- Each strip overlaps the previous one by approx. 2cm.
- Observe the edge tolerance of 1-2 mm.
- Use a wallpapering rail or a long ruler to cut through both strips at the same time so that they lie together on the seam.
- Then press on with a seam roller.

- Due to the scattered look, there is no need for a repeat when gluing.
- Cutter knife and wallpapering scissors
- Short pile roller & brush (for the corners)
- Line laser or plumb bob
- Rubber roller & seam roller
- Wallpaper ruler
- Clean lint-free cloth & fine clean brush
- We recommend Glutolin ECC extra clear for applying ORGANOID wallpapers.
- The manufacturer’s processing instructions must be observed.
- The adhesive can be purchased directly from ORGANOID (5kg bucket). (Shoplink)
- Dab off paste stains on the surface with a dry cloth (light products with low material application) or a damp cloth (products with a high fibre and binder content).
- When drying, it is important to keep the windows closed and not to heat excessively. The optimum temperature is 18 to 22 ยฐC without draughts.
- After the wallpaper has dried, remove any detached natural fibres with a dry cloth or soft brush. The possible detachment of the fibres is due to the absorption of the adhesive moisture and is a natural behaviour.
- Peel off the wallpaper and remove any residue with a spatula or scraper.
- Tip: Cut the wallpaper into strips beforehand to make it easier to remove (pre-treat with water and wallpaper remover if necessary).
- Store the product in closed, dry rooms at normal temperatures (approx. 20ยฐC, 30-60% relative humidity) protected from light.
- Roll goods: hanging storage system (e.g. paternoster)
- Single decks: horizontal position (e.g. drawer system)
- Any deviations and/or defects in the goods must be reported to ORGANOID immediately in writing. Please check whether the delivery has any deviations and/or defects before installation.
- Natural surfaces from ORGANOID consist of natural plant fibres, which is why individual products of the same type may differ slightly in colour, smell or fibre composition.
- Dimensional deviations of up to +/- 2% are technically unavoidable with these natural products. Minor deviations in the area of these biological characteristics therefore do not constitute defects and do not provide a basis for warranty claims.
COFFEE LEATHER on Flexi: Due to the product’s own residual moisture and the spores naturally contained in the coffee particles, this surface tends to form mycelia when stored in complete darkness. This white film is completely harmless and does not affect other products. The film can be easily removed with a soft brush or cloth. In addition, this effect only occurs during prolonged storage and can be easily cleaned. It has not yet been observed in the installed state.
