Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This wallpaper utilizes a traditional paste-the-paper application. Ensure you have wallpaper adhesive suitable for paste-the-paper types, a pasting table, a brush or roller for applying paste, a sharp trimming knife, a seam roller, and a damp cloth or sponge.
- Prepare your walls by ensuring they are clean, dry, and free from dust or old wallpaper.
- Cut the wallpaper panels to the required length, allowing for a slight overlap at the ceiling and skirting.
- Apply an even coat of wallpaper paste to the back of each wallpaper panel, ensuring full coverage to the edges.
- Allow the pasted paper to 'book' or rest for the time recommended by the adhesive manufacturer (usually 5-10 minutes) to let the paste activate.
- Hang the first panel vertically, carefully aligning it with the ceiling and allowing a slight overlap at the corner.
- Use a wallpaper brush or smoothing tool to press the paper onto the wall, working from the center outwards to eliminate air bubbles.
- Trim the excess paper at the ceiling and skirting using a sharp knife.
- Hang subsequent panels, butting the edges together for a seamless finish, and use a seam roller for neat joins.
Compatibility: This wallpaper is designed for interior walls. Ensure walls are properly prepared and primed if necessary.
Care: For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth or sponge to wipe away any light marks. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this can damage the wallpaper's finish and integrity. For tougher stains, test a small, inconspicuous area first.
