Installation guide- Peel&Stick Wallpaper

After receiving the wallpaper, take it out from the original packaging, remove the sticker, and release the roll a bit. It shouldn´t be very tightly rolled up. It has to be in this state for at least 48 hours. During this time, the wallpaper will adapt to the new environmental and climatic conditions.  Check that the panels match. perfectly. This step is very important. Once installed, we won't be able to see if there are any errors on our part. After that, your wallpaper will be ready fo installation.

Step 1- Get Ready

Installation is best done together with someone- it´s easier and more fun that way.

You will need:

1. A spirit level and pencil and ruler.
2. A squegee and cutter knife.
3. A brush, sandpaper or a metal spatule to remove dirt from the wall.
4. A step stool or step ladder.

Step 2- Preparation

Do not apply the wallpaper if your wall looks like this:

1. If your wallpaper resembles any of the above, please make sure to fill any  holes and sand any bumps, so the wall is completely smooth. We do not recommend applying on glossy walls (only semi-matte) as well as on already applied wallpapers.
   
2. Clean your wall with a wet cloth and dry it well. Don't use strong chemical cleaning products, otherwise the wallpaper may not stick well to the wall.
3. Wipe down your wall with a damp cloth 24 hours prior to installing.
4. Remove electrical outlets and skirting boards.
5. Freshly painted and primed walls must dry for 2-7 days (depends on the type of paint) before installing the wallpaper.
6. Make sure you have the correct amount of wallpaper sheets. Their designs and colors have to match. If you have mural type wallpaper, serial numbers on sheets have to form a sequence.
7. If the surface is made of non-standard material (wood, tiles), contact us before applying!

Step 3-Installation

Apply the wallpaper:

• Before applying, use the spirit level to draw a straight vertical line on the wall where you want to start applying the wallpaper
• Starting from the top of the sheet, peel off ~ 12 inches (30 cm) long part of protective layer from the backside of the wallpaper.
• Avoid dragging the wallpaper too hard. If you apply stretcher wallpaper, after a while, it will shrink back and look uneven.
• Remember to stick the first sheet exactly to the drawn line. Every next sheet will depend on the
  accuracy of the first one; If you have mural type wallpaper, follow the serial number sequence.
• After sticking the top of the sheet, start to smooth out the surface of the wallpaper, going from top to bottom. Straighten out the air bubbles from the center of the wallpaper to the edges using a squeegee. 
• Keep removing the protective layer (direction top to bottom). At the same time, keep pressing the surface of the wallpaper to the wall and smoothing it out;
  Let the wallpaper apply itself evenly. However, if you stick the wallpaper incorrectly, it is possible to do small adjustments by peeling a small part off.
• When sticking further sheets:
  • the edges of the wallpaper shouldn’t overlap, they have to be very close to each other;
  • when the top of the wallpaper is attached to the wall, make sure that the pattern of thewallpaper matches the top and bottom of the previous sheet.
   After 24h, repeat the smoothing process, and that’s all!

• Continue in the same way with the remaining panels until the wall is complete, carefully matching the patterns of the paper, if applicable.
• Use a squegee between the seams to ensure the paper adheres well and doesn't peel over time.
  
  The panels should align flush with each other.
