Muriva Elixir Marble Wallpaper - Blue - Floral

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

Achieving a professional finish with your Muriva wallpaper requires careful preparation and application. Follow these steps for best results:

1. Prepare the Walls: Ensure your walls are clean, dry, smooth, and free from any loose paint or debris. Fill any holes or cracks and sand smooth. Apply a primer suitable for wallpaper if your walls are porous or newly plastered.
2. Measure and Cut: Measure the height of your wall from ceiling to skirting board, adding an extra 5-10 cm (2-4 inches) at the top and bottom for trimming. Cut the first strip. For subsequent strips, carefully match the pattern before cutting to ensure a seamless flow across the wall.
3. Apply Adhesive: Apply a high-quality, ready-mixed wallpaper paste evenly to the back of the wallpaper strip (or directly to the wall, depending on paste type – always check adhesive instructions). Allow the paste to soak for the recommended time (booking).
4. Hang the First Strip: Starting from a plumb line (a vertical guide line), carefully align and hang the first strip from the top down. Use a wallpaper brush or smoother to remove air bubbles, working from the center outwards.
5. Match and Hang Subsequent Strips: Align the next strip carefully with the first, ensuring the pattern matches perfectly. Butt the edges together without overlapping. Use a seam roller to gently secure the seams.
6. Trim Excess: Once all strips are hung and smoothed, use a sharp utility knife and a straight edge to trim any excess wallpaper at the ceiling and skirting board.
7. Clean Up: Immediately wipe off any excess paste from the wallpaper surface and seams with a damp sponge.

Compatibility

This wallpaper is suitable for most interior dry walls, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces that are properly prepared. It is not recommended for use in high-humidity environments such as inside showers or in areas prone to direct water splashes, as this can compromise the adhesive and the wallpaper's integrity.

Care Instructions

To maintain the beauty and longevity of your Muriva wallpaper:

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or light marks. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or vigorous scrubbing, as these can damage the metallic finish and embossed texture.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: While durable, prolonged exposure to intense, direct sunlight may cause very gradual fading over many years. Consider appropriate window coverings in exceptionally sunny rooms.
• Handle with Care: Avoid sharp objects or excessive friction on the wallpaper surface to prevent scratches or damage to the embossed details.
