ADVICE FOR PAPERHANGERS NON-WOVEN WALLCOVERING

PREPARE THE WALLS:
  • After preparing the walls line them with the appropriate grade of lining paper.
  • If high levels of alkaline are present in the walls this may affect foil papers.  If in doubt prepare the walls with an alkaline resistant primer.
PASTE:
  • We recommend using a traditional style, starch based, ready mixed tub paste for all wallcoverings.
  • PVA or PVC type adhesives are not suitable for our wallpaper as they may cause surface staining or adhesion problems.
  • Avoid squeezing paste out of the joints. Paste should not come into contact with the printed side of the paper.
  • THE WALLS SHOULD BE PASTED NOT THE WALLPAPER.
  • Use a felt roller for smoothing.

HANGING:

  • Only cut and hang 1 length at a time.
  • Check which way up the design is before hanging.
  • Do not crease the paper when folding lengths.
  • Trim tops and bottoms of lengths with paperhangers shears or a sharp knife and a straight edge.
  • Joints should be tightly butted and never overlap.
  • Dark coloured wallpaper may need the edges coloured with a slightly lighter shade of chalk or pastel to prevent white edges showing.

WARNING:

  • It is the responsibility of the decorator to check that this wallpaper is correct.
  • Some wallpapers may be damaged by moisture on the surface.
  • Check all wallpapers within 10 days of delivery and contact your supplier immediately or after 2 lengths have been hung if there is a problem.  We cannot accept responsibility for wallpaper hung after 2 lengths.
