Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Fill any cracks or holes and sand them smooth.
- Apply a suitable wallpaper adhesive directly to the back of the wallpaper (paste-the-paper method).
- Allow the paste to 'sit' for the recommended time (usually a few minutes) to allow it to become tacky.
- Hang the first strip vertically, ensuring it is level using a spirit level.
- Butt the edge of the next strip against the first, aligning the 53cm pattern repeat carefully.
- Smooth the wallpaper onto the wall using a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards to remove air bubbles.
- Trim any excess wallpaper at the ceiling and skirting board with a sharp blade.
Compatibility:
This wallpaper is suitable for most interior walls, including plaster, plasterboard, and previously papered surfaces (provided they are in good condition and the old paper is firmly adhered).
Care:
- Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this can damage the paper and the metallic finish.
- Do not scrub the surface.
- Due to its paper composition, it is best suited for areas with low humidity and away from direct sources of moisture.
