Frequently asked questions
Can I use GF 285 on other surfaces?
GF 285 RoughMark™ can be used in applications where a conformable removable vinyl is desired. This film conforms well with controlled heat and features clean removability from a variety of moderately textured substrates including brick, block, and concrete surfaces (vertical application only). For exterior or unsealed masonry applications, surface temperature must be at or above 40°F at time of installation (50°F minimum recommended for unsealed porous substrates), and a pre-installation test panel is required. Performance on unsealed masonry in freeze/thaw environments may vary. For a high gloss finish, use GF 242 gloss clear cast laminate. Refer to the GF RoughMark™ Application Guide for full surface and environmental requirements.
Can this product be used on Elevators?
This product is not intended for this application. Test all applications prior to use. Not designed for coated/ sealed/ treated stainless steel, brass or bronze surfaces.
When paneling larger jobs, do I use overlaps or butt-seams with this product?
Either is acceptable, although butt-seams require a high degree of skill to line up the panels. Because this product is going on uneven surfaces and is thinner than a normal wall vinyl, an overlap should be the default way to install.
