Benefits of technology

[0006]In another aspect, the kit comprises an applicator adapted to hold a roll of surface covering material having a first width, and to apply the surface covering material to a target surface. The kit also comprises a second applicator adapted to hold and facilitate the application of a second roll of the surface covering material to the target surface, the second roll having a second width, the second width is substantially different from the first width. The kit also comprises instructions for the application of a surface covering material to the target surface. The instructions comprise methods for covering particular surface areas, such as inside corners, and methods for creating seams between adjacent portions of surface covering material.

Problems solved by technology

Dry color laminate materials comprising an adhesive layer and in some cases a release liner are known, but are not in wide use.
The tools and methodologies for the efficient and aesthetic application of such materials are also not widely available.
