Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not sticking to the wall
Ensure the wall is properly prepared (clean, dry, smooth). Use the correct adhesive and apply it evenly. Press the wallpaper firmly to the wall, smoothing out any air bubbles.
Air bubbles appear after hanging
Use a wallpaper smoother to gently push out the air bubbles from the center to the edges. For persistent bubbles, carefully lift the wallpaper and reapply, ensuring good adhesion.
Paint not adhering to the wallpaper
Make sure the wallpaper is completely dry before painting. Use a water-based emulsion paint as recommended. Apply a primer if necessary, particularly if the wallpaper is glossy.
