Elastone Travertine TF7 – Flexible wall panel | Travertine look, 3 mm

Grey travertine with thin wavy veins and pores. A cool, elegant shade for modern bathrooms and living rooms. The panel has a stone texture you can feel, yet it is thin, light and flexible.

• Flexible: fits arches, half columns and curved walls from a radius of approx. 30 cm
• Floor to ceiling: 60 × 280 cm, no horizontal joints
• Easy to install: cut with a knife, fix with polymer adhesive
• For indoor and outdoor use

What is it made of?

The panel is made of finely ground minerals such as clay, quartz sand and stone powder, bound with a flexible polymer binder. The mix is pressed in a mould that copies the texture of stone and cured without firing. It looks like stone, weighs a fraction of a stone slab and can be bent. It is not natural stone, PVC or SPC, but a mineral material.

Where can I use it?

In living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways and bathrooms outside the direct water spray. It also works on columns, arches, niches and fireplace surrounds (keep a distance from open fire). It can also be used outdoors on a flat, load-bearing substrate. Not suitable for floors.

Which substrate?

Flat, load-bearing, clean and dry walls: plaster, concrete, plasterboard and even old tiles. The wall must be really flat, because a flexible panel shows every unevenness.

How do I fix it?

Apply polymer adhesive over the full surface with a 3–4 mm notched trowel. Do not use dabs, or the flexible panel will ripple. One panel needs about 1 cartridge of our 600 ml mounting adhesive, twice as much adhesive as a standard 290–310 ml cartridge. With a 280 cm panel it is best to work in pairs: set the panel at the bottom and press it on from the centre outwards. Install at about +10…+25 °C and let the panels acclimatise in the room for 24 hours beforehand.

Cutting and corners

Cut a 3 mm panel with a sharp knife or scissors. On arches and columns bend the panel slowly and support it until the adhesive has set. A sharp 90° outside corner cannot be wrapped: cut the panel there and butt-join it or finish with a profile.

How many panels do I need?

One panel covers 60 cm of wall width up to 280 cm high. Divide the wall width by 0.6 m and add 5–10% for straight walls or 10–15% for arches.

Care

Clean with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents, acetone, acids, descalers or abrasive cleaners. Colours on screen may differ, so order a sample first.
