Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This wallpaper uses the traditional paste-the-paper method. This involves applying wallpaper adhesive directly to the back of the wallpaper strip.
- Preparation: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and smooth. Remove old wallpaper and any loose paint. Prime the walls if necessary.
- Cutting: Measure and cut wallpaper strips to the required height, allowing for a small overlap at the ceiling and skirting.
- Pasting: Apply an even coat of suitable wallpaper paste to the back of each strip, following the paste manufacturer's instructions. Allow the pasted paper to 'book' (sit folded paste-to-paste) for the recommended time.
- Application: Hang the first strip vertically, ensuring it is straight using a spirit level. Butt the edges of subsequent strips together, aligning the 26.5cm offset pattern repeat as you go.
- Finishing: Smooth down each strip with a wallpaper brush or seam roller, working from the centre outwards to remove air bubbles. Trim excess paper at the ceiling and skirting with a sharp knife.
Compatibility:
- Best suited for interior walls in living rooms, dining areas, bedrooms, and home offices.
- Ensure walls are properly prepared and primed for optimal adhesion.
Care:
- The wallpaper is scrubbable, meaning light marks can be cleaned. Use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and water. Avoid excessive rubbing.
- Wipe gently and dry with a clean cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
