This paper is ready trimmed. Bare walls should be sound, with any holes or cracks filled, rubbed smooth and dry. New plaster, or other very absorbent surface should be sized with a weakened wallpaper paste. Carefully prepare walls with a good quality lining paper and best results are obtained by using a traditional style prepared tub mix ( we recommend Evo-Stik ready mixed wallpaper paste) Hang the lining paper horizontally. This ensures the join of the lining paper does not coincide with the Allow the lining to fully dry (normally 24 hours) before hanging top wallcovering.
Hanging hand-printed paper is a job for a skilled craftsperson who is experienced in paper hanging . The paper is heavyweight (150gsm) formed of two layers bonded together. Standard rolls are 10m long and 55cm wide. The printed surface should never be scrubbed. If it becomes soiled, it should be lightely sponged. One cut length should be pasted at a time and care must be taken to avoid double pasting as this causes discolouration. Joints should be butted but never overlapped. Paste should not come into contact with the printed surface of the paper. If so lightly wipe with clean water.
Additional information.
Care should be taken to inspect the wallpaper after the first two or three lengths have been hung. The supplier cannot accept responsibility to entertain claims after the work has been completed.
For Embroidered wallpapers, hang as standard instruction indicate. These papers can also be sealed which will make the built up surfaces even more hard wearing. We recommend a water based acrylic varnish (such as polyvine’s dead flat finish) hung rolled onto the hung paper. Make sure to use a non yellowing sealant.
