Setup, Compatibility & Care
Wall Preparation
Before hanging your Superfresco Easy wallpaper, ensure your walls are clean, dry, smooth, and free from any loose paint or debris. For best results, especially on newly plastered or porous walls, consider priming the surface with a suitable wallpaper primer or 'size' to ensure even absorption of paste and optimal adhesion.
Application (Paste the Wall)
- Measure and Cut: Measure your wall height, adding an extra 5-10cm for trimming at the top and bottom. Cut your first strip of wallpaper. For subsequent strips, align the cut piece with the previous strip to ensure the 64cm straight match pattern is correctly aligned before cutting.
- Apply Paste: Using a roller or brush, apply a good quality wallpaper paste directly to the wall section where your first strip will go. Ensure an even, generous coat that slightly exceeds the width of the wallpaper strip.
- Hang First Strip: Carefully position the first strip of wallpaper at the top of the wall, allowing for the extra trimming length. Use a wallpaper brush or smoother to gently press the paper onto the pasted wall, working from the center outwards to remove air bubbles.
- Match Pattern: For the next strip, align the pattern precisely with the edge of the previous strip before smoothing it down. The 'straight match' means the pattern matches at the same height on adjacent strips.
- Trim Excess: Once each strip is hung and smoothed, use a sharp utility knife and a straight edge to trim the excess wallpaper at the top and bottom.
Compatibility
This wallpaper is compatible with standard plaster, drywall, and prepped painted surfaces. It is ideal for internal dry areas. Ensure the wall surface is sound and prepared according to standard wallpapering guidelines.
