This project involved covering an old door with Silver Shine TXTR-LITE. Proper surface prep is important. The surface was sanded and brushed clean before the TXTR-LITE was installed.

Adhesive is applied with a toothed trowel. This project used heavy-duty construction adhesive. Note some construction adhesives foam when moisture is present. Clamps can be used to prevent seperation or swelling.

Note the grout lines have been cleaned with a scraper and filled with grout. Door knob and dead bolt holes have been cut with a hole saw.

TXTR-LITE is laid out and cut with sheet metal shears. Cutting is simple because of TXTR-LITE’s thin, flexible nature. Note the back of the material is scribed with a knife.

A roller is used to press down the TXTR-LITE. Start from the middle to push air out towards the edges. Care must be taken not to push the adhesive out, or an air gap may form.
