Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Preparation: Ensure your walls are clean, dry, smooth, and free from any old wallpaper or debris. For best results, use a primer on porous or newly plastered walls.
- Measuring and Cutting: Measure the height of your wall, adding an extra 5-10cm for trimming at the top and bottom. Cut your first strip. For the second strip and subsequent strips, ensure you align the pattern according to the 64cm offset design repeat before cutting. Use the hanging instructions provided on the reverse of the wallpaper label.
- Pasting: Apply a good quality wallpaper paste directly to the wall using a roller or brush, covering an area slightly wider than your wallpaper strip. Do not apply paste to the wallpaper itself.
- Hanging: Carefully position your first strip at the top of the wall, allowing for excess at the ceiling line. Smooth it down with a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards to remove any air bubbles. For subsequent strips, align the offset pattern precisely, ensuring seams are butted together, not overlapped. Trim excess at the ceiling and skirting board with a sharp utility knife.

Care
- Cleaning: The Muriva Cove Textured Concrete Wallpaper features a wipeable surface. For light marks or dust, gently wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which could damage the metallic ink or texture. Always test cleaning methods in an inconspicuous area first.
