Self Adhesive Wallpaper

 IF YOU HAVE NO PRACTICE IN STICKING WALLPAPER, PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW THESE TIPS.

Two people are recommended for the installation. Remember to move the furniture out of the way to give yourself room to work.

 

TOOLS THAT YOU WILL NEED:

knife for wallpapers, ladder, spirit level, pencil, wallpaper brush.

 

1.Carefully unpack each part of your photo wallpaper and lay them down in order. Remember that the printed side shall be on the top. Examine all panels before you start pasting or trimming. Make sure that the graphic motives on every sheet fit together. Any claims for defective (discoloration, deformation, differences in size of the individual elements or incompatibility of coordinated edges), damaged or otherwise unusable goods need to be made before installation.

2.Make sure that the surface you want to cover is clean and dry. Fill all defects and align the wall. If your surface is dry and absorbent, you may need to paint it or seal it with a water based primer/sealer.

3.On the dry wall draw a vertical line in a place where the edge of the photo wallpaper will be located. You can use a spirit level or you can make your own plumb line . Allow the plumb to swing freely until it is at rest before putting your pencil mark down the wall behind the string.

4.Important: install wallpaper from left to right side in the order of its elements.

5.Place the wallpaper  to the surface and smooth the installed fragment with the wallpaper brush. Second person should at the same time stretch the wallpaper. If you see any bubbles or irregulars, or if you install badly, gently tear off amount as needed and stick it again, gently smoothing wallpaper again.

6.Apply second and subsequent panels in the same way as described above. Our wallpaper panels are applied edge to edge, so each panel butts up to the  next on the wall. There is no overlap on the panels.

7.Only if required, apply a small amount of adhesive between any joints that need it to prevent curling and make sure the mural is fixed well at the edges.
