1. Wall Preparation
The wall must be smooth, dry, clean, and primed with an appropriate preparation. The wall color should be uniform, without strongly contrasting areas. It is necessary to remove any remnants of old paints, varnishes, and wallpapers. Freshly applied plasters or freshly painted walls should be left to dry for about three weeks. Ceramic, latex paints, and any poorly adhering surfaces should be sanded before priming the wall. To achieve the perfect effect, eliminate all imperfections. Remember to remove all sockets, baseboards, and other elements from the wall. An improperly prepared wall may prevent the correct installation of wallpaper.
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.
