Novacolor Kansas Wallpaper
Kansas WALLPAPER
KANSAS WALLPAPER
The Be Grateful Wall Paper collection takes a journey through different landscapes and cultures, all the way to the 'New World' with Edson's Kansas countryside.
The colours collection of the "Kansas" pattern emphasises contrasts between light and dark colours. It is 1895 and Katharine Lee Bates writes the poem 'America the Beautiful'.
He is in his early 30s and she is travelling west to teach a summer course at Colorado College. For a young single woman at the time, this was no ordinary undertaking, and it was this adventure that inspired her to write this ode to America.
She travelled by train through the "amber waves of grain" of Kansas, the same ones that inspired this pattern for our wallpaper. Kansas is a state in the centre of the United States that owes its name to the river of the same name, which in turn took its name from the Kansa tribe of Native Americans.
The land is mostly flat or hilly, with the altitude rising as one moves from the east to the west, approaching the Rocky Mountains in neighbouring Colorado, where the mountains top 1,000 metres. The waves of wheat are the hills of Edson, a land of great plains with wheat fields stretching as far as the eye can see.

RECOMMENDATIONS
- Ambient temperature : 10°C - 25°C
- Ambient relative humidity : < 60%
- Background temperature : 10°C - 25°C
- Background humidity : < 5%.
- Do not apply under direct sunlight or onto overheated surfaces (even if they are already in the shade).
-Best visual results are obtained by using all rolls from the same production batch. Small differences may be noticed when using different production batches. -For the correct use of the above materials, and for dilution and laying, please carefully read the technical data sheet. The correct use of equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) is recommended during all phases of background and product preparation and application
PRECAUTIONS
-When wallpapering, especially in dark colours, take special care to ensure that the edges are perfectly matched to prevent the substrate being visible. -Do not apply on fresh backgrounds that tend to be alkaline. Allow adequate curing time, generally four weeks. -Do not apply in the presence of rising damp and in humid environments. When applying in kitchens, make sure that there is no direct contact with water and that there is adequate ventilation.
BACKGROUND PREPARATION AND APPLICATION
-(Referred to environmental conditions T=25° C, RH=60%) The surface must be dry, stable and free of separating agents (dust, grease, etc.). It is necessary to first remove old wallpaper, paint and damaged plaster. Sandy, dusty and highly absorbent surfaces must be previously treated with Decofix, water-based consolidating fixative. -With smooth wallpaper supported by paper and vinyl wallpaper supported by T.N.T. paper, the adhesive can be applied on the back of the wallpaper, directly with a brush or roller. After a short time of wetting, the paper is applied onto the wall, placing it edge to edge or overlapping, and is rolled with a rubber roller, making the air escape completely. -For heavy vinyl wall coverings or those supported by vinyl rather than paper, follow the procedure described above, taking care not to allow the adhesive to react for more than 5 minutes and, if necessary, to apply a small amount to the inner edge (in the case of edge-to-edge application). -For the adhesion of fabric-background textiles and PVC, glass fabrics, Wallpaper Paste is applied directly to the wall using a pile roller; then, the coating is applied by pressing it from the centre towards the corners. In all cases, smears of excess adhesive must be removed as quickly as possible with a clean sponge dampened with (preferably warm) water.
WALLPAPER LAYING
-Check that the paper rolls are not damaged and that the designs and colourings are correct. -Remove the plates of the electrical switches and sockets. -Remove the skirting board and coping (frame-covers) of doors and windows. -Draw, in the blind corner (behind the door), reference marks on the wall. Using a tape measure, draw a smaller width (3-5 cm) of the sheet on the wall, making several marks starting from the top downwards. Lower the plumb-line and make marks on the wall. Measure the height of the wall. Check for pattern repetition, then cut the lengths according to wall height, leaving an excess of 5-8 cm, at the top and bottom, for trimming. -Use roller to evenly apply WallPaper Paste, unthinned, to a portion of the surface equal in width to the sheet of WallPaper. -Use a brush to apply the adhesive to bond the WallPaper Paste, working from the centre towards the outside of the sheet. Make sure the adhesive is well distributed around the edges, but avoid it coming into contact with the side of the paper that has the pattern. In they accidentally come into contact, use a damp sponge to clean and remove the adhesive immediately, then dry with a white cotton cloth. -Lay the sheet onto the surface to cover, positioning it correctly according to the marks and drawing. Use a plastic wallpaper spatula to pass over the paper again to release any trapped air. Promptly remove any spills/excess of adhesive! Continue until the surface to cover is completed. -Drying time: about 24 hours depending on the type of substrate, its absorption rate, and environmental conditions.
