FAQs
What type of paste should I use?
Use a wallpaper paste specifically designed for 'paste the wall' applications. Follow the paste manufacturer's instructions.
What does 'straight match' mean?
A straight match means the pattern repeats horizontally across the wallpaper. The design elements line up directly from one strip to the next.
How do I prepare the walls?
Ensure the walls are clean, dry, and smooth. Fill any holes or imperfections, then sand the surface to create a smooth base for the wallpaper.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While the wallpaper can be wiped clean, it's generally not recommended for areas with high moisture. Proper ventilation is essential if using in a bathroom.
How long should I let the wallpaper dry?
Allow the wallpaper to dry naturally, usually overnight. Avoid drafts or direct sunlight during the drying process.
Troubleshooting
Visible seams or gaps between wallpaper strips.
Ensure the edges of the wallpaper are butted up closely without overlapping. Use a seam roller to gently press the seams together.
Air bubbles under the wallpaper.
Use a smoothing brush or a seam roller to gently remove any air bubbles. If bubbles persist, carefully lift the wallpaper and re-apply, smoothing out the bubbles.
