How To Hang Wall Mural

Prior to Installation:

 

• Carefully Examine this merchandise for color, condition, quantity and quality BEFORE Cutting and Hanging, as claims cannot be allowed after goods are cut.

• The Paperhanger assumes full responsibility when he/she cuts the wallpaper supplied. Positively no allowance for cut rolls and claims for labor will NOT be entertained.

Wall Preparation:

 

• Proper wallpaper preparation is essential. Generally walls must be smooth and clean. Wallcoverings will not adhere well to dirt, soap or grease. Clean the walls with household detergent or with a solution of six parts water to one part ammonia and rinse with clean water.

• It is recommended to remove all old wallcoverings.
• Always turn off the electricity and remove any switchplates, wall fixtures, outlet plates, etc., before you begin to hang the paper.
• When applying wallpaper over plaster walls, always smooth out any rough spots with a sander and fill any holes or cracks with patching plaster or spackling compound.
• Always apply wallcovering primer prior to installation. This ensures an even surface for the wallpaper to adhere making it easier to hang and remove later on.

Wall Application:

 

• This mural does not come with paste as it has been discontinued. You will need to use a clear non-staining adhesive, diluted with 10% water.

• Measure up the mural against your wall. Take into consideration where furniture will be placed. The motif has been selected so that the mural can be cut both in the width and height without losing any of its effect.
  - For example, if your wall is 30cm short in width, cut 1 5cm off of the left and right side. Remember that it will stretch by 1% approximately when wet.
• Now spread paste liberally on panel #1 according to the sketch; allow setting for at least one minute before applying the panel to the wall. Handle with care when wet to avoid any damage, and do not fold panel.
• When panel is correctly lined up, press out air bubbles with a clean wallpaper brush or dry cloth, working from the center outwards. Small air bubbles will disappear when the mural has dried out.
• Wipe off any surplus paste from the panel surface with a soft damp cloth.
• Prepare panel #2, and apply to the bottom of panel #1. Overlap panel #1 by approximately 2mm evenly along the horizontal edge. Be sure to align panel #2 exactly.
• Panel #3 overlaps right of panel #1 by about 2mm. Repeats for remaining panels
  and the job is done!
