HANGING INSTRUCTIONS AND CARE

Properly hanging and caring for our wall coverings is crucial. It is essential to provide these instructions to your client along with the product.



NON-WOVEN WALL-COVERING HANGING INSTRUCTIONS

For optimal results, we highly recommend hiring a professional for the installation of non-woven wallpaper. However, if you choose to undertake the task yourself, please follow the instructions below:

  • Walls should be clean and dry.

  • Remove any old wallpaper or loose/flaking paint.

  • Roughing smooth paintwork with sandpaper will help adhesion.

  • For best results you may want to consider putting up a lining paper first, this should ideally be the same width as the wallpaper. If lining paper is applied, this should be allowed to completely dry out before applying the wallpaper on top.

PASTING AND HANGING YOUR NON-WOVEN WALL COVERINGS

  • Our wallpapers are ‘paste the wall’ products, the installer should apply wallpaper paste to the wall (not the paper). 
  • A good quality, solvent free, fungicide protected ready-mixed ‘tub’ adhesive – specifically for paste the wall non-woven papers should be used.
  • Paste should be evenly applied to the wall to hang one length at a time, to an area slightly wider than width of the paper.
  • Butt joints and use a decorator’s brush to smooth down the wall covering, working from the centre to the edges to express air bubbles.
  • Avoid squeezing paste out of the joints and ensure paste does not get onto the brush or roller.
  • No paste should be allowed to come into contact with the surface and hands should be kept clean and dry whilst hanging the wall covering.
  • Paste will damage the surface. The company cannot accept responsibility for marks or damage caused by paste.
  • Should any paste have been allowed to come into contact with the surface, it should be lightly sponged whilst still moist, using a clean damp sponge.

CARING FOR YOUR WALLPAPERS

Our wallpapers should be cleaned by dusting with a clean, dry brush or brush accessory on a vacuum cleaner.

SUITABILITY IN AREAS OF MOISTURE

Whilst our wallpapers are suited to most environments, applications in more humid areas such as bathrooms and kitchens may benefit from additional protection. One option is to apply a wallpaper varnish such as POLYVINE decorators' varnish. It is important to test before application as it may affect colours. This will protect the paper and make it easier to clean.
