Peel & Stick Wallpaper Installation Guide
Peel & Stick Wallpaper Installation Guide
After receiving your wallpaper, take it out from the original packaging and release the roll. Now please leave it in this state for at least 48 hours. During this time your wallpaper will adapt to the environment and climatic conditions and be ready for smooth installation.
1. Tools Needed for Your Project
Although it is possible to install your wallpaper by yourself, it is going to be easier with 2 sets of hands.
We recommend the following tools :
Level and a pencil
Wallpaper installation tool (we include this with your purchase)
Metal spatula and a towel
Step ladder
Utility knife
2. Preparation
Please don’t apply it on unpainted walls, on walls with cracking paint, humidity spots or textured walls.
Apply your peel and stick wallpaper only on a smooth surface, fill, sand and paint any imperfections in your wall before installation.
Clean your wall with a damp cloth and dry it well, please don’t use any chemicals as the wallpaper may not stick well.
Remove any outlet covers and base boards if needed.
Please note, freshly painted walls must dry for 2-7 days before installing the wallpaper.
Make sure you have the correct amount of wallpaper sheets.
Wallpaper murals come numbered to form a sequence in which they need to be installed.
3. Installation
Before applying your removable wallpaper, use your level to draw a straight vertical line where you want to start applying the wallpaper. Some walls might be uneven and your wallpaper pattern will be affected if you skip this step.
Start from the top of the sheet, peel off approximately 12 inch or 30 cm long part of the protective layer from the back side of the wallpaper.
Avoid dragging the wallpaper forcefully as it may stretch it and the design may look uneven.
Remember to apply the first sheet exactly to the drawn vertical line. Every next wallpaper sheet will depend on the accuracy of this step.
Follow the serial number sequence if you have a wall mural.
After applying the top of the sheet, start to smooth out the surface of the wallpaper going from top to bottom. Remove air bubbles by using the wallpaper application tool from center to the edges of the wallpaper sheet.
Keep removing the protective layer from top to bottom while pressing the wall surface and smoothing the wallpaper.
Apply the second sheet by placing it next to the first one. There is no need to overlap. Make sure the pattern matches at the top and the bottom.
Once your wallpaper is applied and smoothed out, use a utility knife to trim the excess paper at the top and/or bottom and around outlets and other obstacles.
Put back your outlet covers and base boards and enjoy your refreshed space!
