Answer: It would be in your best interest to call Joel at 641-323-6108 to discuss this.

Answer: As of now, this is the only way the manufacturer offers it.
Question: I have a fairly heavy texture on my drywall. Will the tiles adhere to a textured wall?
Answer: It will adhere to the textured walls if the texture is painted over. If however, the texture is stucco or plaster, then you will need to prime it first to seal the surface. The only issue is going to be how much texture there is on the wall as the product is only 0.125" thick. If the texture is very dramatic or heavy, then it may poke through the cork or at the least it will look bumpy and not adhere properly. So it will really depend on the amount of texture. It's really based on the actual situation of each individual texture. Call 641-323-6108 if you have further questions.
