Machiato (Wooden Wall Planks)
Natural wood panels
Can you see the milk foam? In Italian, Macchiato means stained or spotted. These beautiful brown colored planks with light spotted finish on the surface have taken their name from the coffee macchiato. Made of natural wood. It’s dried, sized, and brushed carefully before color application. First water-based dark walnut color is used. After drying of the layer, deck oil is used for that beautiful look of macchiato. Finally sanded for the milk foam effect.

Peel&Stick provides ease of installation:
Wall planks in general are typically fastened mechanically, by use of nails, screws, etc. We enhanced our planks with peel&stick adhesive bands on their back side. On suitable surfaces, this will make your application very easy. On others you might need to use nails.
Best surface for adhesion is drywall. You can expect a strong hold that will last a very long time. If you are unsure of your substrate, you can always screw a 1/4" drywall on it before applying the planks on that good surface.
Any surface that has dust, dirt, grease, or grime on it will greatly reduce the strength of the adhesive. If the surface has paint on, strength of adhesion will be limited to how strong the paint is holding on to the substrate behind it.
Surfaces that are rough, uneven, and porous (for instance a brick wall) will not provide hold. These types of surfaces will require nails for installation (unless you apply a quarter inch drywall on that surface and proceed with application on that drywall).
Surfaces that are flat and non-porous (such as a plastic or metal sheet) will provide a good bond.
In any case, if you are unsure about your substrate, you can always install using the peel&stick first and later reinforce the areas that need it with nails.
Technically ideal environment:
These planks are made of natural wood. That means they are vulnerable to humidity and temperature changes. Ideal humidity levels in the room of installation should be between %35-65, and ambient temperature between 55-80 degrees Fahrenheit. Large variations in temperature (and especially humidity) can cause movement in planks such as expansion/contraction/bowing. These planks should not be installed on exteriors and are only suitable for interior spaces. A good rule of thumb is, if you're comfortable with the temperature and humidity in a room year-round, it's a good place to install these planks. If your planks somehow ended up absorbing humidity and bowing, wait until the environment and the planks get back to their regular moisture levels, then locate bowed pieces, press them back against the wall flat and stabilize using nails/screws.
