Wallpaper hanging & care
Please inform yourself of how to hang wallpaper in advance. If you are unsure in anyway, of the process, we would recommend using a professional decorator.
​
​
PREPARATION
Prepare the wall by removing all traces of dirt, old wallpaper or loose paint. Do not hang wallcoverings on any wall with a history of damp. Fill any cracks and allow to dry before hanging. Absorbent surfaces should be appropriately sized using a diluted wallpaper adhesive. Sealed walls i.e. painted walls, should be rubbed with sandpaper to create a 'key'.
It is important that the walls are of even and consistent colour. If they are not then consideration should be given to painting them with an appropriate colour wash. Alternatively, we recommend that walls be 'lined' horizontally using good quality lining paper. Allow this to fully dry before apply your wallpaper.

​
HANGING
We recommend the use of a light ready mixed adhesive. Evenly apply the adhesive directly on to the wall using a brush or short pile emulsion roller. It is not necessary to pre-cut the lengths of paper as it can be applied direct from the roll. Apply the wallpaper to the wall and smooth down with a quality hanging brush or plastic spatula. Do not overlap, use butt joints.
​
Carefully wipe any excess paste from the face of the paper immediately with a clean damp sponge before it dries.
​
No claims for hanging costs will be allowed for good hung in excess of one roll.

​
CLEANING
Our wallpaper can be cleaned using a damp cloth.
