INSTALLING WALLPAPER

Tips for Success:

The success of hanging your wallpaper, as well as the ease
of taking it down are totally dependent on how well you prepare your walls!

SMOOTH

Make sure you fill all cracks and holes using spackle.
Sand walls until you have a smooth surface with a medium grit sandpaper.

CLEAN

Wash and rinse walls to remove grease and dirt.
The surface must be clean and free of mildew, grease and stains.

PRIME

For best results, prime all wall surfaces with a high quality primer-sealer
before installing wallcovering. Priming properly is key to easy removal later.

RECOMMENDED TOOLS

Before starting your installation make sure you have all the tools necessary for a successful project.We recommend the following tools and supplies:cleaning gloves, level, a sponge, measuring tape, plastic smoother, soft rubber and foam roller, razor blade, cleaning solution, and a pencil.

1. Turn off power to switches and outlets.

2. Draw a vertical guideline (plumb line).

3. Follow label instructions for soaking
the rolled strips.

4. Slowly draw out the soaked strip.

5. “Book” the strip by folding the ends
towards the center, paste side to paste side.

6. Apply the first strip with its edge
against your vertical guideline (plumb line).

7. Smooth each strip with a smoother or sponge.

8. Apply remaining strips in the same manner.

13. Trim excess at top and bottom

with metal edge and knife.

14. Make sure that power to switches
and outlets is off. Paper over them, then cut
paper clear of wires and fixture box.

15. Start by making a small slit in the paper
at the center of the outlet. Cut diagonally towards
the corners, then carefully trim around the outlet
so that when you replace the cover plate, no
cut edges will be visible.
