Wave design
Two for One sale
This  listing is for
two pieces
measuring 18" x 24"
This is a magnificent pattern, and  to give credit to Zenith, this is their original design work, however they never displayed this color combination.
I have  added some photos of the cloth installed in  a restored Atwater Kent Model 635 to show the blend with natural wood tones under different lighting.
The photos in the cabinet show the reverse side of the cloth .

Grille Cloth Installation Instructions
First,...mist the cloth lightly with a water mist, ......spraying lightly , not heavy.
You want the cloth to be damp during the application process. This allows the cloth to shrink as it dries stretching any wrinkles that may be left..
Next roll your pattern face in, just as I sent it to you,...then  make sure your pattern is aligned straight with the edge of your board  across the top ( or bottom), then roll it out and check the side for alignment.    Do this before applying the spray adhesive.
If you are not applying the cloth to a speaker board, but  directly to the cabinet, you will obviously want to roll the cloth the opposite way.
A speaker board is recommended.
Then,  using 3M Super 27 or 77 spray adhesive, apply it to the edge of the board and  all around the outer edge about a one inch wide band  on the face side.
You do not want to spray glue all over the board.
Leave the inner field area of the board clean, free of any adhesive.
This leaves the cloth free to stretch as it dries.     (You can also spray the glue on a piece of paper and use a brush for applying in tight places.)
Let the glue dry for about 15 minutes.
Do not spray adhesive anywhere on the cloth.
On a clean area of your work space, roll the cloth from the bottom up to the top, rolling your face side inward.
Start the application in one corner at the top checking your design to be straight across.  Then  roll it out top to bottom.  Make sure your first edge at the top is straight and secure. Then as you stretch the cloth gently, watch your pattern design , keeping it straight , so not to over stretch the design.   Tightening  slightly , top to bottom,... then side to side.  Once you have achieved the desired  position, fold the outer excess cloth down over the glued edge of your board.
Let the project sit about one hour, then after the cloth  has completely dried  you may finish the trimming the back edge., if needed.
This site is the only place to buy authentic vintage
radio grille cloth duplications,
After  many years of  hard work and persistence, w
e finally found a weaver to work with us right here in the USA.
From the first run off the looms to this date, we have managed to offer several authentic patterns.
Our patterns  were set up  years ago and they are here to stay.
