AS Creation Wooden Slats Panelling Wallpaper - Black - 39109-1

You will need wallpaper paste suitable for non-woven wallpaper, a wallpaper brush or smoother, a utility knife with spare blades, a tape measure, a plumb line or level, a bucket for paste, and clean sponges for wiping.

While durable, non-woven wallpaper is generally not recommended for areas with consistently high moisture or direct water exposure without specific waterproofing primers or sealants. Good ventilation is key if used in these areas.

Yes, non-woven wallpapers are typically 'strippable' when dry, meaning they can often be peeled off the wall in full sheets without needing to be soaked, making removal much easier than traditional wallpapers.

Measure the height and width of all walls you plan to cover. Multiply height by width for each wall to get the total square footage. Check the roll's coverage area (usually listed in square meters or feet) and account for pattern repeat and a 10-15% wastage allowance for trimming and mistakes.

Yes, the advanced printing techniques create a highly convincing illusion of depth and texture, making the wooden slats appear three-dimensional. The effect is enhanced by good lighting conditions in the room.

This is a non-woven wallpaper, which means you should apply the paste directly to the wall surface, not the back of the wallpaper. This method is often called 'paste the wall' and simplifies the hanging process.

Ensure edges are butted tightly during installation. Use a clean seam roller gently along the seams to secure them without squeezing out too much paste. Double-check wall preparation; uneven walls can cause gaps.

Gently smooth out smaller bubbles with a wallpaper brush or plastic smoother, working from the center to the edge. For larger or stubborn bubbles, carefully puncture with a fine pin or utility knife and press out the trapped air. Ensure sufficient paste coverage during application.

Verify that the wall was properly prepared: clean, dry, smooth, and free of dust or loose paint. Ensure you used the correct type and amount of non-woven wallpaper paste. The wall might also need priming, especially if it's a new or porous surface.

Before applying paste, dry-hang a couple of strips to practice pattern matching. Start with a plumb line for your first strip. Take your time, adjusting slowly. If the pattern repeat is large, consider marking the alignment points lightly on the wall.

Lighting conditions in a room significantly affect how colors appear. Ensure your room's lighting (natural and artificial) complements the black wallpaper. Allow the paste to fully dry, as wet paste can sometimes alter color perception.
