Please be aware that our wallpaper is printed in batches and although every effort is made to ensure there is a consistent colour match across batches, there may still be a slight variation which could be noticeable once hung on the wall. Therefore please ensure you have ordered enough rolls of wallpaper so that we can select all of your order from the same batch. Additional rolls from the same batch may not be available if ordered at a later date.

To calculate how many rolls of wallpaper you need please see our Wallpaper Calculation Guide.

PREPARATION

Prepare the wall by removing all traces of dirt, old wallpaper, or loose paint. Do not hang wallcoverings on any wall with a history of damp. Fill any cracks and allow to dry before hanging. Absorbent surfaces should be appropriately 'sized' using a diluted wallpaper adhesive. Sealed walls, i.e. painted should be rubbed with sandpaper to create a ‘key’.

It is important that the walls are of an even and consistent colour. If they are not then consideration should be given to painting them with an appropriate colourwash. Alternatively, we recommend that walls be ‘lined’ horizontally using a good quality lining paper. Allow this to fully dry.

HANGING

We recommend the use of a light ready mixed adhesive. Evenly apply the adhesive directly onto the wall using a brush or a short pile emulsion roller. Please note we do NOT recommend the use of self-mix adhesives.

It is not necessary to pre-cut the lengths of paper as it can be applied direct from the roll. Apply the wallcovering to the wall and smooth down with a good quality hanging brush or plastic spatula. Do not overlap, use butt joins. Take extra care when papering around electric light switches and power points. Always ensure the power supply has been turned off. Do not allow moisture to drip onto electrical contacts.

Carefully wipe any excess paste from the face of the paper immediately with a clean damp sponge.

BEFORE IT DRIES.

After hanging 2 or 3 lengths, inspect the results to ensure that there is no shading or other fault.
