Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This wallpaper utilizes a 'paste the wall' application method. This means you apply the adhesive directly to the wall where the paper will hang, rather than soaking the paper itself. Ensure you have a quality wallpaper adhesive suitable for vinyl papers and the paste-the-wall technique.
- Prepare the wall by ensuring it is clean, dry, and smooth.
- Cut wallpaper panels to the required length, allowing for trimming at the ceiling and skirting.
- Apply an even coat of adhesive to the wall, covering the area for one panel at a time.
- Hang the wallpaper panel, aligning the edges carefully and smoothing out any air bubbles.
- Trim excess wallpaper at the ceiling and skirting.
- Repeat for subsequent panels, ensuring a tight butt joint between edges.
Compatibility:
Suitable for application on most prepared interior walls, including plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces (ensure paint is sound and non-flaking). Not recommended for damp areas like bathrooms unless specifically stated by the manufacturer for such use.
Care:
The vinyl finish makes this wallpaper washable. To clean, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, which can damage the wallpaper. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth wipe.
