Wallpaper Handing Instructions
Wallpaper Handing Instructions
Inspect each roll
Make sure every roll has the same batch number, please hold onto batch labels until the wallpaper is completely hung. In the event of a concern, it is important we have the batch number and the reference. Inspect the rolls for any damage or faults before hanging. No claim can be accepted after the wallpaper has been hung, for defects that were apparent at the time of hanging. Check the results of hanging after two lengths. Please make sure you have enough rolls for the wall. If unsure, get in touch.
Preparation
– Walls should be clean, dry and even.
– Remove any old wallpaper and loose paint.
– Roughen painted surfaces with sandpaper.
– For best results we recommend that walls are cross lined using a good quality lining paper. Lining should be allowed to dry out completely before hanging the wall covering.
Pasting
– This is a paste the wall product. The decorator should paste the wall and not the wallpaper.
– A good quality, solvent free, fungicide protected ready-mixed ‘tub’ adhesive should be used.
– Paste should be evenly applied to the wall.
Hanging
– Butt joints and use a decorator’s brush to smooth down the wallpaper, working from the centre to the edges to express air bubbles.
– Avoid squeezing paste out of the joints and ensure paste does not get onto the brush or roller.
– Avoid getting paste on the printed surface. If it does, it should be lightly sponged whilst still moist, using a clean damp sponge.
