APPLICATIONS
STEP 1 : SETUP
Make sure the walls are dirt- and dust-free, and that cracks, nail holes, and loose plaster have been fixed. Remove any electrical outlet plates and vent covers. These can be covered by our wall covering and we recommend doing this prior to covering the walls.
STEP 2 : WALL PREPARATION
Walls should be smooth and sanded. Surfaces receiving the wall covering should be primed with two coats of high-quality acrylic primer. Match primer color to paper to minimize visible seams on wall. Read the manufacturer’s label for suggested primer drying time..
STEP 3 : WALL MAPPING
Determine whether you are going to double-cut or table trim. Reference the specific pattern’s recommended usable width to determine how much should be trimmed off. If both the original width and recommended usable width are the same, butt-seaming is recommended. Draw a vertical line with a level, or use a laser level to keep the paper straight. For a single wall, start in the center and work out. For whole rooms, map it out so that you end in a corner. Measure the entire job carefully before applying to avoid thin side panels.
STEP 4 : ADHESIVE APPLICATION
Apply adhesive to the back of your prepared piece using a paint roller. It is important that the application is even and adequate, particularly at the edges. To ensure proper adhesion, book or allow paper to relax for 30-90 seconds after applying adhesive. On heavily textured papers or porous surfaced papers, avoid getting adhesive on the face of the wall covering as it could stain the papers. It may be necessary on heavily textured wallpapers to put adhesive on both the wall and back of paper.
STEP 5 : PAPER APPLICATION
Some patterns will have “T” written on the back of the panels - this is the top of the wall covering. When you are confident of your measurement, start by applying the panel to the wall along the vertical line and smoothing it to remove the wrinkles and air bubbles. A plastic scraper or brush will be required, depending on the paper thickness. Once table trimmed, line up the edge of the next piece, or, if double cutting, overlap your second panel onto your first panel by approximately one inch and double cut. A seam roller may be necessary to remove a raised seam. Trim the ceiling and floor edges of the wallpaper after application. Pre-trimming is not recommended as ceiling and baseboard may not be level. Wipe down the paper with a clean, damp towel or sponge to remove any paste on the surface.
