Installation of Eco & PRO-Vinyl Wallpaper Series
Pro-Vinyl Wallpapers are high-quality, durable vinyl materials with a non-woven backing. Pro-Vinyl wallpapers are installed using heavy-duty wallpaper adhesive. For North America, we recommend using Roman Pro-773 or Shur-Tac Wallcovering Adhesive. Both are strong, reliable options for vinyl wallpaper installation. Thanks to the unique texture of the material, the print on non-woven wallpapers stands out with vibrant colors and depth, making the patterns exceptionally striking. The materials have been approved by the National Institute of Hygiene.

1. Wall Preparation
Ensure the wall is smooth, dry, clean, and primed with an appropriate primer. Remove old paint or wallpaper, fill holes, and allow new paint or plaster to dry for three weeks. Sand any rough surfaces before priming.
2. Inspecting the Wallpaper
Unroll the wallpaper and check for defects or pattern mismatches. Ensure each roll is free from issues like discoloration or dimensional differences. If there are defects, file a complaint before installation.
Note: No claims on defects after installation!
3. Planning the Wallpaper
Measure and draw a vertical line on the wall using a level. Shift the line 2.5 cm / 1 inch to the left to account for the wallpaper’s edge overlap.
4. Applying Glue
Apply glue only to the wall using a roller or brush. Spread an even, thin layer, covering just the area for the current strip, extending about 5 cm / 2 inches beyond the wallpaper edge.
5. Installing the Wallpaper
Start from the top, unrolling the wallpaper and smoothing out air bubbles with a tool or roller. Align each strip edge-to-edge, ensuring pattern consistency. Wipe off any glue with a damp cloth. Trim excess wallpaper with a utility knife.
