HOW TO INSTALL WALLPAPER

Before installing let's revisit wall requirements for a successful project:

wall requirements

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.

THINKING OF

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. 

Wash your Wall

Low or No VOC paints?

Low VOC paints are becoming a challenge for wallpaper installations as they can cause the wallpaper to fall off. A simple solution for the problem is to clean the wall 2-3 times with Rubbing Alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol), let dry completely, test the adhesion and afterwards proceed with the wallpaper installation.

Washing the wall with this mixture is not a bad idea if you are not sure about the type of paint on your walls.

BEFORE YOU START

- Unpack and check your order upon receiving it, even if you won’t install it right away.

- Check color consistency and panel match or pattern repeat throughout your order always before installing.

- Start from left to right when possible.

- Murals: install in numerical roll sequence starting with the lowest number (1) in left to right orientation.
