Peel & Stick Instructions
Step 1. Get Ready
Installation is best done together with someone – it’s easier and more fun that way.
Make sure you have the required tools:
You will need:
1. A spirit level and a pencil;
2. A squeegee
3. A brush, sandpaper and a metal
spatula to remove dust and
imperfections on the wall
4. A step stool or step ladder.
Step 2. - Preparation
Do not apply the wallpaper if your wall looks like this:
- 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. - 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. - Wipe down your wall with a damp cloth 24 hours prior to installing.
- Remove electrical outlets and skirting boards.
- Freshly painted and primed walls must dry for 30 Days before installing wallpaper. Certain paint finishes, like low-VOC, washable, or satin paints, can resist adhesion.
- 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.
- 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 stretched 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 the wallpaper matches the top and bottom of the previous sheet. - After 24h, repeat the smoothing process, and that’s all!
Step 4 Finalization
- Trim Excess: Once the wallpaper is applied and smoothed, use a pair of scissors or a utility knife to trim the excess paper at the top and/or bottom. Make precise cuts to achieve clean edges.
- Finish the work and enjoy the new design!
