Today we finished installing Phillip Jeffries “Rivets” Wall covering in a Poker Room in Great Falls, Virginia. This install was the stock Phillip Jeffries Bronze Rivet on Jute Backing.
Custom colors are available with a 5 week lead and a custom strike charge from your supplied paint or fabric samples.
This is a medium Jute background and although the seams are noticeable on close up inspection they are not obvious and the panel shading is consistent and not obvious. The product is easy to work and the seams cut straight and flat with wall double cut over yellow tape our preferred way to install this. Paper dries flat with consistent shrinkage. Installation Moisture on the surface dries invisible with no dye discoloration. Order width is 36” but it trims to an exact 34”. Pay special attention to room symmetry when measuring as this looks best when art or highlights are symmetrical and floor and ceiling cuts are even and consistent. A Two plane laser was used to hold both plumb and level through.
Adhesive was Roman 880 diluted with less than 10% water. Adhesive should still hold roller peaks. Paste with a ½” roller. Paste field liberally but lighten up on edges to prevent seam staining. Stiff brush and smoothing tool but no seam roller was necessary.
A Forbes & Lomax invisible papered switch in Bronze was perfect to finish off this install. Special Thanks to Iantha Carley Interiors, Phillip Jeffries LTD and Forbes & Lomax Inc.
