Installing Your Wallpaper Mural

Important Information

• Your mural is pre-cut into 48cm-wide drops, usually with a slimmer final drop, so do not start in the middle of the wall.

• There is an extra 6cm added to the overall width and height of the mural (3cm on every edge) to allow for trimming.

• Paste the wall, not the paper.

• Use pre-mixed ‘paste-the-wall’ paste or 'non-woven' paste if available. Avoid powdered paste as it can cause shrinkage.

Preparation

• Freshly painted walls should be left for 4 weeks before application, please refer to the paint manufacturers instructions for guidance.

• Ensure the wall is flat, clean, smooth and dry before application.

• Make sure the wall is even in colour.

• Bumps and rough patches on the wall should be sanded smooth with 1200 grit sandpaper.

• Remove any old backing paper from wall surface.

• If applying to a porous surface (plaster, cement render) ensure plaster is stable and free of mould.

• Allow the wallpaper to acclimatise in the room it will be applied in for a minimum of 48 hours before application.

Step 1 - Lay Out Your Mural

Unroll your mural and lay it out in order. Your mural is numbered from left to right at the bottom of each panel.

Step 2 - Draw A Vertical

Measure 45cm (48cm drop width, less the 3cm added trim) from the left-hand side of your wall. Use a spirit level or plumb line to lightly draw a vertical line.

Tip: Use a laser level and you won't need to draw the line.

Step 3 - Paste The Wall

Apply a very thin layer of pre-mixed paste to the wall with a brush or roller. Be careful not to use too much paste, as this can soak the paper and cause shrinkage.

Step 4 - Install Panel 2

Starting with the top of the drop 3cm higher than the top of your wall, line the left-hand edge of the drop to the vertical line you drew in step 2.

Tip: The straighter this drop is applied, the straighter the rest of the mural is, so make sure it aligns well to the vertical line.

Step 5 - Install Panel 1

Line up the right-hand edge of panel 1 to butt-join against the left-hand edge of panel 2. Make sure you still have around 3cm excess material at the top, left, and bottom. You may need to cut diagonally into the corner to allow the paper to fold at the edges.

Step 6 - Install Remaining Panels

Continue with panel 3 and the remaining panels. Visually match the design to the previous drop and
join edge to edge (no overlap). Firmly butt the panels at
the top and let the paper hang naturally. Brush downwards, making sure the join is tightly
butted all the way down. You can use a seam roller to ensure the product has bonded well at the joins and gently wipe away any excess paste.

Step 7 - Trim Edges

Use a utility or craft knife to trim the edges of the paper against the wall, ceiling, skirting board, or other obstacles.

Step 8 - Leave To Dry

Leave your mural for the paste to dry. It is very important that in the 12-24 hours after installation, there are no changes in temperature or humidity, so heating/cooling systems should be turned off.

Important Information

• Your mural is pre-cut into 48cm-wide drops, usually with a slim-
mer final drop, so start from the left-hand side (drop 1).

• There is an extra 6cm added to the overall width and height of the mural (3cm on every edge) to allow for trimming.

Preparation

• Freshly painted walls should be left for 4 weeks before application, please refer to the paint manufacturers instructions for guidance.

• Ensure the wall is flat, clean and dry before application.

• Make sure the wall is even in colour.

• If applying to a porous surface (plaster, cement render) ensure plaster is stable and free of mould.

• If applying over a stain-blocking or water-repellant paint, prime the wall first.

• Allow the wallpaper to acclimatise in the room it will be applied in for a minimum of 48 hours before application.

Step 1 - Lay Out Your Mural

Unroll your mural and lay it out in order. Your mural is numbered from left to right at the bottom of each panel.

Step 2 - Draw A Vertical

Measure 45cm (48cm drop width, less the 3cm added trim) from the left-hand side of your wall. Use a spirit level or plumb line to lightly draw a vertical line.

Tip: Use a laser level and you won't need to draw the line.

Step 3 - Peel Away (A Little) Backing Paper

Remove approximately 30cm/1ft of backing paper from the top of drop 2 ready to apply.

Step 4 - Install Panel 2

Starting with the top of the drop 3cm higher than the top of your wall, line the left-hand edge of the drop to the vertical line you drew in step 2.

Let the paper hang naturally. If it is not straight, then peel off and reposition the top until it hangs straight. Smooth down the paper with the included felt tool, working down. Keep peeling off the backing paper a little at a time as you go down the wall.

Tip: The straighter this drop is applied, the straighter the rest of the mural is, so make sure it aligns well to the vertical line.

Step 5 - Install Panel 1

Peel away a little backing paper at the top as before, and line up the right-hand edge of panel 1 to butt-join against the left-hand edge of panel 2 at the top. Stick down the joining edge first, ensuring the paper will hang naturally against drop 2. Smooth away from the join.

You may need to cut diagonally into the corner to allow the paper to fold at the edges. Make sure you still have around 3cm excess material at the top, left, and bottom.

Step 6 - Install Remaining Panels

Continue with panel 3 and the remaining panels. Visually match the design to the previous drop and
join edge to edge (no overlap). Firmly butt the panels at
the top, stick the join down, and let the paper hang naturally. Smooth downwards and away from the join.

Step 7 - Trim Edges

Use a utility or craft knife to trim the edges of the paper against the wall, ceiling, skirting board, or other obstacles.

Important Information

• Your mural is pre-cut into drops, usually with a slimmer final drop, so do not start in the middle of the wall.

Step 1 - Lay Out Your Mural

Unroll your mural and lay it out in order. Your mural is numbered from left to right at the bottom of each panel.

Step 2 - Draw A Vertical

Measure one panel-width, less 3cm, from the left-hand side of your wall. Use a spirit level or plumb line to lightly draw a vertical line. Ensure your first panel will extend 3cm beyond the end of the wall to allow for trimming.

Tip: Use a laser level and you won't need to draw the line.

Step 3 - Paste The Wall

Apply a very thin layer of pre-mixed paste to the wall with a brush or roller. Be careful not to use too much paste, as this can soak the paper and cause shrinkage.

Step 4 - Install Panel 2

Starting with the top of the drop 3cm higher than the top of your wall, line the left-hand edge of the drop to the vertical line you drew in step 2.

Tip: The straighter this drop is applied, the straighter the rest of the mural is, so make sure it aligns well to the vertical line.

Leave your mural for the paste to dry. It is very important that in the 12-24 hours after installation, there are no changes in temperature or humidity, so heating/cooling systems should be turned off.

Important Information

• Your mural is pre-cut into 65cm-wide drops, usually with a slimmer final drop, so do not start in the middle of the wall.

• There is an extra 6cm added to the overall width and height of the mural (3cm on every edge) to allow for trimming.

• You can peel off and reposition the vinyl.

Preparation

• Freshly painted walls should be left for 4 weeks before application, please refer to the paint manufacturers instructions for guidance.

• Ensure the wall is flat, clean and dry before application.

• Make sure the wall is even in colour.

• If applying to a porous surface (plaster, cement render) ensure plaster is stable and free of mould.

• If applying over a stain-blocking or water-repellant paint, prime the wall first.

• Allow the vinyl to acclimatise in the room it will be applied in for a minimum of 48 hours before application.

Step 1 - Lay Out Your Mural

Unroll your mural and lay it out in order. Your mural is numbered from left to right at the bottom of each panel.

Step 2 - Draw A Vertical

Measure 62cm (65cm drop width, less the 3cm added trim) from the left-hand side of your wall. Use a spirit level or plumb line to lightly draw a vertical line.

Tip: Use a laser level and you won't need to draw the line.

Step 3 - Peel Away (A Little) Backing Paper

Remove approximately 30cm/1ft of backing paper from the top of drop 1 ready to apply.

Step 4 - Install Panel 1

Starting with the top of the drop 3cm higher than the top of your wall, line the right-hand edge of panel 1 to the vertical line you drew in step 2.

Let the vinyl hang naturally. If it is not straight, then peel off and reposition the top until it hangs straight. Smooth down the vinyl with the included felt tool, working down. Keep peeling off the backing paper a little at a time as you go down the wall. You may need to cut into the corner to allow the vinyl to fold into the edges.

Make sure you still have around 3cm excess material at the top, left, and bottom.

Tip: The straighter this drop is applied, the straighter the rest of the mural is, so make sure it aligns well to the vertical line.

Step 5 - Install Remaining Panels

Peel away a little backing paper at the top as before, and visually match the left-hand edge of panel 1 to overlap by ~6mm (1/4") onto the right-hand edge of the previous panel at the top. Stick down the joining edge first, ensuring the paper will hang naturally all the way down with the correct overlap. Smooth away from the join.

Step 6 - Trim Edges

Use a utility or craft knife to trim the edges of the paper against the wall, ceiling, skirting board, or other obstacles.

Tip: Use a new sharp blade. If the vinyl starts to peel away whilst cutting, push it against the wall with the included felt tool to hold it in place whilst you cut.
