1. Wall Preparation
Ensure the wall is smooth, dry, clean, and primed with an appropriate primer. Remove any old paint, varnish, or wallpaper remnants. Allow freshly painted or plastered walls to dry for three weeks. Sand ceramic, latex, or poorly adhering surfaces before priming. Fill holes and gaps, and remove sockets and baseboards. Proper wall preparation is key for smooth installation.
2. Checking the Wallpaper
Unroll the wallpaper on a clean surface to ensure all rolls are received and the pattern matches. Check for defects like deformations, discolorations, or dimensional issues greater than 1%. If defects are found, file a complaint before installing. Each roll is numbered for easy installation.
Note: No claims on defects after installation!
3. Plan the Wallpaper on the Wall
Measure and draw a vertical line on the wall. If the wall is not perfectly straight, shift the line 2.5 cm / 1 inch to the left. This ensures accurate placement when starting from the left.
4. Wallpaper Installation
Start from the top, slowly unrolling the wallpaper and separating the backing from the adhesive. Use a wallpaper smoother to remove air bubbles. Apply each subsequent strip edge-to-edge, aligning the pattern perfectly. Once finished, trim any excess wallpaper with a utility knife, pressing carefully to avoid tearing.
