FAQs
The Acrovyn Roll-on Adhesive is available in 1-gallon and 4-gallon pails.
Installation will require a paint tray, roller, brush, and masking tape. It is also recommended that a pressure roller be included with the order. This tool ensures a strong bond between the wall surface and the wall covering.
One gallon of Acrovyn Roll-on Adhesive will cover 375 sq.ft., which is about nine 4x8 sheets of Acrovyn.
Yes. The textured roller must be used to ensure the correct coverage rate of 375 sq. ft./gal. This ensures the installation matches the configuration tested in accordance with ASTM E84 for Class A/1 fire performance.
For quoted orders, CS will provide the appropriate Textured Roller Covers to ensure proper adhesive coverage. More can be added if requested.
For e-commerce orders, you will need to order the Textured Roller Covers when you place the adhesive order.

3 times as much. Roll-on adhesive covers 375 sq.ft. (approx. 9 sheets) compared to Trowel-on adhesive which cover 125 sq.ft. (approx. 3 sheets). Because the Roll-on adhesive has greater coverage, the Roll-on cost is lower per square foot.
There is an approximate 40%-time savings, which translates to about 8 minutes of savings per sheet.
The Roll-on adhesive paired with Acrovyn wallcovering is tested in accordance with ASTM E-84 for Class A/1 fire performance.
In Canada, fire ratings are tested in accordance with CAN/UL S102.2, and achieve a Flame Spread Rating of 120 and a Smoke Developed Rating of 235.

No. The standard adhesive will remain the Acrovyn Trowel-On Adhesive, unless the Acrovyn Roll-on Adhesive is specifically requested. The Roll-on adhesive and textured roller will be quoted as accessories to the wall covering.
Yes. In addition to your preferred adhesive, Acrovyn Primer will be quoted as an accessory when quoting Acrovyn sheet.
The Roll-on adhesive is applied using the CS textured roller. This roller must be used to maintain the appropriate coverage. Once the adhesive has tacked up on the wall, the sheet can be applied to the wall and then pressed in with the recommended pressure roller.
This is up to the installer’s discretion. Masking tape can be used to make clean-up easier. Another option is to use a large drywall knife with the roller to get a nice, clean edge. It is critical that the adhesive be applied right up to where the edge of the wall covering will be installed to ensure the edges are adhered properly to the wall.
Yes. This depends on temperature and humidity, but generally the required cure time is 15-20 minutes. This time can be reduced by using a fan to speed the curing process. The adhesive will become increasingly tacky and turn from white to clear while it cures.
Slightly. The maneuverability of the wall covering when using the Roll-on adhesive is very limited. This is a pressure-sensitive adhesive, so when installing the sheet for the first time, apply very limited pressure to reduce the bond to the wall. This will allow for limited maneuverability. After pressure is applied, there is no maneuverability.
Yes. The water-based adhesive can be washed off and used again. Alternatively, the roller can be sealed in an airtight bag or container and reused the following day. We recommend keeping the roller in a cool spot if possible.
Yes. The PVA-free Acrovyn Primer should be used with the Roll-on adhesive. If a primer other than the Acrovyn Primer is used, it must be PVA-free.
Apply Roll-on adhesive with a course paint brush at inside corners and along wall-ceiling joints. Ensure the entire wall surface is covered where the sheet will be placed.
To apply the sheet, start with one vertical edge and work your way across to the opposite edge. This approach ensures that the middle of the sheet makes proper contact with the wall. When placing two sheets next to each other, begin with the butting edge first, then move away from the initial sheet.
Avoid applying pressure or apply very light pressure to the wall covering within 6 inches (152.4 mm) of the edge. This space is needed for placing trims. The sheet can be repositioned slightly before any pressure is applied, but this ability becomes limited once pressure is applied.
Yes. An extension pressure roller is essential for pressing the sheet firmly onto the Acrovyn Roll-on Adhesive. This ensures a strong bond between the wall surface and the wall covering. If insufficient pressure is applied, the bond may be weak, potentially leading to delamination and bubbling of the wall covering over time. This is true for all Acrovyn Adhesive options.
