Preparing a wall mural

Before you start applying your wall mural, unpack and lay it with the printed side upwards on a dry, clean and flat surface. Make sure that the product is not faulty or damaged. If a mural consists of multiple parts, make sure that the design aligns.

How to prepare a surface?

The walls must be clean and dry. Any wall defects should be filled in. We advice to remove any protruding parts like skirting boards, nails, screws, switches and power sockets. In case of new walls, walls covered with plaster, drywall or other absorptive materials, you must prime them before application.

How to apply wallpaper?

1. When the wall is ready, use a plumb line or a spirit to lightly draw vertical guide lines with a pencil and mark where the edge of the wall mural will be.
2. Lay out the mural on a clean, dry surface (best covered with newspapers, painting foil, etc).
3. Mix and prepare the glue (glue should be used in accordance to producers recommendations).
4. The adhesive should only be applied to the wall surface. We do not recommend applying glue to the wallpaper.
5. Start applying the mural next to the window’s edge and keep applying the rest of elements along the line marked with the plumb. Do not apply the entire wall mural at once. The stripes of the wall mural should be applied from the top of the wall.
6. Any possible air bubbles created during application process can be removed by carefully smoothing out the surface with a wallpaper roller or a pressure roller, by moving it from top to bottom and from the centre to the sides, making sure that the edges are properly pressed to the wall.
7. When it comes to wallpaper (10mx0,53m roll), cut it to suitable length, keeping in mind that the design has to match.
8. Gently remove the excess glue as soon as possible, with a use of soft, damp rag or a sponge. Drying glue can damage the surface of a wall mural!
9. If your wall mural consists of multiple elements, follow the same procedure with the remaining parts by aligning them edge to edge.

Attention:
Although a wall mural is produced with high quality materials, you must be delicate with the dampened fragments, keeping in mind that the print has it’s resistance limits to mechanical abrasion. Before application, the product should be measured to confirm the size – each may have a slight margin, which should be removed after application. The producer guarantees a high quality of the product, but doesn’t take responsibility for the conditions and the way of use. In case of any doubts, we recommend conducting a test with use of a fragment of a wall mural.
