Surface preparationThe surface needs to be smooth and clean, and to have as little dust as possible. Cracks need to be filled, any rough or sharp edges sanded.
Before you startUnfold the wallpaper on the floor to make sure the panels line up correctly. There is no need for wallpaper glue as the panels already contain an adhesive that is activated by water.
Tools needed- Damp sponge
- Spray bottle with room temperature water
- Sharp utility knife
- Wallpaper smoother or a squeegee
- Straight edge or a ruler
- Spirit level
- Stairs or steps to reach the ceiling
- Tape measure
- Pencil
InstallationUse spirit level to check that you ceiling line is straight. If it is not straight, allow some paper to go over the ceiling to be trimmed later; or start applying panels from where the ceiling is the highest. Use tape measure and spirit level to draw a straight line marking where your panel is to be positioned.
Standard WallpaperUse the spray bottle to apply water over the back of the first panel. Make sure that the water is applied equally and around the edges. Fold the ends of the wallpaper panel inside and leave for approximately 5 minutes for adhesive to activate.
Unfold the top of the panel and apply on the wall. Use a squeegee to smooth the wallpaper. Remove any excess water and glue with a damp sponge. Trim the wallpaper at the bottom with a sharp knife and a straight edge if needed.
Take the second panel and apply next to the first panel to match the picture. Repeat the process and keep using squeegee and damp sponge after each panel application.
Wallpaper application guidePremium WallpaperUse the spray bottle to apply a generous amount of water on the wall so that you can see droplets of water. Position your first panel and use a wallpaper smoother to help adherence working from the middle towards the edges. Spray more water near the edges. Trim the wallpaper at the bottom with a sharp knife and a straight edge.
Continue with the next panel. The panel can be peeled of and repositioned or slightly moved to match the pattern.
