Info needed: [The product description indicates 'easy application' but does not specify if it's pre-pasted or peel-and-stick. Typically, As Creation wallpapers are 'paste-the-wall' non-woven types, requiring you to apply paste to the wall.] You will need to apply a suitable wallpaper paste to the wall for installation.
While durable, this wallpaper is not designed for areas with extremely high humidity or direct water exposure, such as inside a shower. For well-ventilated bathrooms or kitchens where splashes are minimal, it may be suitable, but proper ventilation is key to its longevity.
Before cutting, lay out your rolls and identify the pattern repeat. Cut subsequent strips ensuring the pattern aligns perfectly from strip to strip. When hanging, carefully align the pattern at eye level and then smooth upwards and downwards.
A high-quality, ready-mixed wallpaper paste specifically formulated for non-woven or heavy-duty wallpapers is recommended. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for best results.
Measure the height and total width of your walls. Use a wallpaper calculator tool online or consult your retailer, making sure to account for the pattern repeat (usually found on the wallpaper label) and potential waste for trimming and matching.
When installed correctly and maintained according to care instructions, the metallic finish is designed to be long-lasting. To minimize any potential fading, avoid prolonged exposure to direct, intense sunlight.
It is generally not recommended to paint over wallpaper, especially those with metallic or textured finishes. Painting can obscure the design, diminish the metallic sheen, and impact the material's integrity. If you wish to change the look, consider removing and replacing the wallpaper.
While the paste is still wet, gently smooth bubbles outwards using a wallpaper brush or plastic smoother. For persistent bubbles, you may carefully lift the wallpaper strip and re-smooth, ensuring even paste distribution.
Ensure strips are accurately butted together without overlapping. After hanging, gently run a seam roller along the seams to secure them. If lifting occurs, apply a small amount of seam adhesive or wallpaper paste to the underside of the lifting edge and press firmly back into place.
Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools or harsh chemicals. For dullness, gently wipe with a soft, clean, damp cloth. Minor scratches might be less noticeable from a distance, but significant damage may require touching up or replacing the strip, as the metallic effect is part of the surface layer.
Setup:1. Prepare Walls: Ensure your walls are clean, dry, smooth, and free from loose paint or plaster. Fill any holes or cracks and sand rough areas. For optimal results, apply a wallpaper primer, especially on new plaster or walls with significant colour changes.2. Measure and Cut: Measure the height of your wall, adding approximately 2-4 inches at the top and bottom for trimming. Cut your first strip. For subsequent strips, align the pattern carefully before cutting, accounting for the pattern repeat.3. Apply Paste: Info needed: [Is it paste-the-wall or paste-the-paper?] If it is a 'paste-the-wall' product, apply a high-quality wallpaper paste directly to the wall section slightly wider than your first strip. If 'paste-the-paper', apply paste evenly to the back of the wallpaper strip, fold it (pasted side to pasted side), and allow it to 'book' for the recommended time (usually 5-10 minutes).4. Hang First Strip: Carefully position the first strip from the ceiling down, using a plumb line or level to ensure it is perfectly straight. Smooth out any air bubbles with a wallpaper brush or plastic smoother, working from the center outwards.5. Match Pattern: For each subsequent strip, align the pattern precisely with the previous strip before smoothing. Trim excess wallpaper at the top and bottom with a sharp utility knife against a straight edge.6. Clean Up: Promptly wipe away any excess paste from the wallpaper surface and ceiling/skirting boards with a clean, damp sponge.Compatibility: This wallpaper is suitable for application on most interior wall surfaces that are structurally sound and properly prepared. It is not recommended for areas with consistently high moisture, such as inside showers or poorly ventilated bathrooms, unless a waterproof sealant is applied over the wallpaper (which may alter its finish).Care: To maintain the beauty of your wallpaper, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or vigorous scrubbing, as these can damage the metallic finish or the paper's surface.
