What do I need to assemble my Kit?
For assembly, you'll need a drill and screwdriver to attach the Wall Mounting Bracket to your existing wall and to attach the accordion door frame to the panels. No other tools required!
Can I hang art from the panels?
Yes, the panels are strong enough to hang standard pictures and paintings and are perfect for creating gallery walls and displaying your favourite pieces. You can either drill into the panel to place a mounting screw, or you can use wire to hang art using loops placed around lugs/finishing caps inserted in the top of your wall. We do not recommend hanging art that projects far off the wall (such as animal busts) and anything that could create a weight imbalance.
Can I paint or apply wallpaper to the panels?
It is not recommended to paint the panels as the surface is not conducive to painting and is difficult to adhere to. However, it is possible to use standard peel & stick wallpaper to create endless customizations of your wall divider. To avoid seeing seams between panels when applying wallpaper, we recommend applying standard seaming tape between panels before wallpaper is applied.
I have trim/baseboards along my wall. Can I still mount to my existing walls?
Yes! Our wall mounting brackets measure 3"x3", so as long as your trim/baseboards are no wider than 1" you can still use our wall mounting brackets to mount the walls. Just note that you will have a gap the size of your trim/baseboard between your existing walls and your new Diyversify walls.
Can the walls be installed on carpet floors?
Yes, as long as it is not a high-pile carpet. Any of our wall-mounted wall kits can easily be installed on low-medium pile carpets as long as there are no major dips or bulges in the floor, and you make sure to mount the walls to your existing walls.
How are the Kits shipped?
In order to provide free shipping the Wall Kits are shipped on 48"x40" pallets. When your order has arrived at your local distrubition center, the courier will typically call you a day in advance to schedule a 2-4 hour window where you'll be home and able to receive the order. When they arrive, they'll lower the Kit to the ground in front of your driveway, (curbside) where you can begin bringing the panels inside your home. Note that you are responsible for disposing of the packaging as well as the pallet.
I'm renting. Am I allowed to install a Partition Wall in my home?
This all depends on the agreements you have with your landlord. Different counties and landlord boards have different regulations for certain modifications and additions to a home, but we wrote a blog post on the topic to make things as clear as possible! If you're unsure, we recommend contacting your local bylaw office and/or landlord association.
How are your products priced?
All of our Kits are proudly designed and manufactured in the USA, which ensures top quality but does result in higher costs. However, they are still comparable to or even less than the cost to hire a contractor to build a new wall or room in your home.
Unlike traditional walls, our modular system can be moved, reused, and reconfigured endlessly, providing a lifetime of value no matter where life takes you.
Why not just build a regular frame wall?
For those who have tools, carpentry expertise, permits, and are ready to make permanent alterations to their home, this may be a better option. However, if you don't have carpentry experience, having a wall built professionally can cost anywhere between $1,900-$4,000, depending on location. In addition, there are often required building plans, permits, cleanup costs and demolition costs if you ever change your mind. If you would rather a modular wall that can be disassembled, repurposed, moved and taken with you, our Kits perfect for you!
