Advice For Paperhangers Standard Wallcovering
PREPARE THE WALLS:
- After preparing the walls line them with the appropriate grade of lining paper.
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.
- Edges should be well pasted to ensure neat joints, but avoid squeezing paste out of the joints.
- Paste should not come into contact with the printed side of the paper.
- Allow sufficient soaking time for the paper to become supple, under-soaking may create bubbling.
- Use a felt roller for smoothing.
HANGING WALLPAPER:
- 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.
- Where wallpaper rolls are numbered the hanging should be done in sequence.
- Jaspé or Stipple designs should be reverse hung with alternate lengths in sequence.
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 14 days of delivery and contact your supplier immediately or after 3 lengths have been hung if there is a problem. We cannot accept responsibility for wallpaper hung after 3 lengths.
