DIY or choose a decorator?

If you are confident with fitting conventional wallpaper, the process is very similar. When applied to the wall the paper is designed to be repositionable while the paste is still wet, so can be very forgiving.

Measuring your wall

Always check your wall height at each end and at a point in the middle and allow for the greatest height overall. Similarly always check the width at the top, middle and bottom of your wall and do the same. Always give us the MAXIMUM SIZES FOR EACH MEASUREMENT.

Before fitting

As with any preparation for wallpaper fitting, remove unsound coatings/fragments, fill any holes or irregularities with filler ensuring a smooth surface. Old or brand new wall surfaces should be primed with a water-based plaster sealer which is available from your local DIY store.

Fitting

Fitting instructions can be downloaded from our website www.xxx.com and a set of instructions will be included with your printed wall paper.

Your personalised wallpaper will behave and fit just like any ‘off the shelf’ wallpaper product. There are just a few slight differences, as follows:

1. PASTE THE WALL, not the paper.

2. MOISTEN THE BACK OF EACH WALLPAPER DROP with clean water and a sponge before hanging (optional – depending on porosity of wall surface).

3. OVERLAP ON THE JOINS, rather than butt join. We print a 50mm extra repeated pattern on each edge of the paper to allow you to overlap each wallpaper drop, match up and then cut through the overlapped section to form the join.

4. We will print at least 100mm EXTRA IMAGE TOP AND BOTTOM to give you leeway in case your wall runs out slightly (i.e. not quite ‘plumb’).

​

Useful tips

Your decorator should be totally familiar with the process, but here’s a few good tips you may wish to pass on:

1. Always lay your design out and refer to your wallpaper plan before starting. The instructions included in your delivery will show the hang order of your drops.

2. Use a good brand of wallpaper adhesive, we recommend Solvite or Polycell, and follow their mixing guide for Washable and Vinyl Wallpaper.

3. When trimming the top and bottom, change your blade for EVERY CUT to ensure a good clean edge.

4. Don’t brush excessively. Although our personalised wallpaper product has good scratch resistant properties, please remember that it is a vinyl/paper material and will damage if mistreated!
    

NOTE: We measure, match and test every wallpaper drop after printing for accuracy.

Working conditions and wall surface conditions are beyond our influence, so no claims can be based on the information.
