Hanging Instructions
To enjoy your artwork to the fullest, we strongly recommend you use an experienced professional decorator for the hang and that you both read the following instructions carefully before proceeding.
Step 1: Check your Goods
As soon as you receive your wallpaper you should check thatyou have the right product, the right number of rolls for your needs and that the wallpaper is free from any damage. Do this in advance of cutting and hanging your wallpaper as any claims subsequent to this will not be accepted.
Step 2: Preparation
Walls should be dry, clean and even.
Remove any old wallpaper and loose paint.
Roughen painted surfaces with sandpaper.
For best results we recommend that walls are cross lined using a good quality lining paper. Sizing the lining paper will aid adhesion.
Lining should be allowed to dry out completely before hanging the wallcovering.
Step 3:Pasting and Hanging
This is a paste the wall product. The decorator should paste the wall and not the back of the wallcovering.
A good quality, solvent free, fungicide protected ready-mixed ‘tub’ adhesive – specifically for paste the wall non-woven papers should be used.
Paste should be evenly applied to the wall to hang one length at a time, to an area slightly wider than width of the paper.
Butt joints and use a decorators brush to smooth down the wallcovering, working from the centre to the edges to express air bubbles.
Avoid squeezing paste out of the joints and ensure paste does not get onto the brush or roller.
No paste should be allowed to come into contact with the surface and hands should be kept clean and dry whilst hanging the wallcovering.
Paste will damage the surface. The company cannot accept responsibility for marks or damage caused by paste.
Should any paste have been allowed to come into contact with the surface, it should be lightly sponged whilst still moist, using a clean damp sponge.
Step 4: Care for the paper on your wall
Our coated non-woven wallpaper is “spongeable” but please do use care and common sense.Wipe gently with a clean cloth and don’t use harsh chemicals.
