HOW TO INSTALL WALLPAPER
Before installing let's revisit wall requirements for a successful project:
wall requirements
PAINTED
Wallpapers need to be installed over painted surfaces, avoid raw unpainted walls. Recently painted walls need to dry for 4 weeks.
CLEAN
Wall in good condition and clean, no humidity or cracking paint. Wash the wall with rubbing alcohol prior wallpapering.
MANAGE EXPECTATIONS
A perfect wallpaper requires experience and a perfect wall. Expect panel misalignments for walls with irregularities or texture.
Avoid always
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY FLUCTUATIONS
Wallpaper preforms optimally between 65F and 80F. Temperature, humidity fluctuations, nearby heating vents will affect long term performance.
COVERING OLD WALLPAPER WITH NEW
Do not use a wallpaper to cover old wallpaper. Wallpapers are to be installed on painted walls, not to cover stains, or previous wallpapers.
ATTACHING ELEMENTS TO THE WALLPAPER
Never glue baby signs, decor or shelving with double sided tape to a wallpaper. Elements need to be physically attached to the wall using nails or screws.
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION?
- Consult them prior purchase about your project and the materials you want to acquire.
- Provide them with samples if possible.
- Check yourself for overall merchandise quality before installation: pattern repeat, overlap and material stability before handing it to your installer (take pictures).
- Ask your installer to make the same quality check before starting.
- Make sure they read carefully the instructions included with the order and supervise they are being followed.
Low or No VOC paints?
To avoid wallpaper lifting due to conflict with technical paints (low VOC, Scuff resistant, Mold resistant) wash the wall 2-3 times with 70% rubbing alcohol
BEFORE YOU START
