Abstract:
1. A generally planar adhesive mat for installation of architectural covering material to a substrate surface, the generally planar adhesive mat having a first side and an opposing second side and a plurality of perimeter side edges, the generally planar adhesive mat comprising: a planar carrier sheet having a first side, an opposing second side and a plurality of perimeter side edges; a first adhesive layer on said first side of the carrier sheet configured to adhere the adhesive mat to the substrate surface, and a second adhesive layer on said opposing second side of the carrier sheet configured to removably adhere the architectural covering material to the adhesive mat in a first stage of installation, and to permanently adhere the architectural covering material to the adhesive mat in a second stage of installation, wherein said second adhesive layer has sufficient adhesion in the first stage of installation such that the architectural covering material is adhered to said second adhesive layer with an adhesive force substantially equal to a mass per unit area of the architectural covering material in a vertical position, and the architectural covering material is removable in the first stage of installation by hand pressure equal to or greater than said mass per unit area of the architectural covering material; and at least one release layer of material removably covering at least one adhesive layer to protect said at least one adhesive layer during manufacture and storage of the adhesive mat.
