Product Usage Instructions

Before starting the installation process, switch off the main power and unscrew any fixtures around sockets or switches that may interfere with the wallpaper application.
Clean out all dust from the area where the wallpaper will be applied.
Prepare a bucket of water.
Unroll the pre-pasted wallpaper and cut it into manageable lengths according to your wall dimensions.
Dip one length of wallpaper into the bucket of water, ensuring the entire back surface is wetted with water.
Fold the wetted length of wallpaper onto itself, with the pasted sides facing each other. This process is known as “booking.”
Allow the booked wallpaper to rest for the recommended soaking time mentioned in the product packaging or user manual.
While waiting, prepare the next length of wallpaper by repeating steps 5-7.
After the recommended soaking time, unfold a booked length of wallpaper and position it at the top of the wall.
Smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles using a wallpaper smoothing tool or a clean, damp sponge.
Continue applying each booked length of wallpaper in a similar manner, aligning the patterns or edges as required.
Trim excess wallpaper at the top and bottom using a sharp utility knife or scissors.
Repeat steps 5-12 for the remaining lengths of wallpaper until the entire wall is covered.
Allow the wallpaper to dry completely according to the manufacturer’s instructions before turning on the main power and reattaching any fixtures.

HOW TO INSTALL PRE-PASTED WALLPAPER

This wallpaper is pre-pasted — requiring only water to activate the glue— and is designed for easy application and clean removal. There’s no need to handle separate glues or adhesives, and no glue waste to deal with. You get strong adhesion, yet with this strippable wallpaper, removal is easy and clean. Pre- pasted paper removes in one piece with no wall damage! This material is GreenGuard Gold certified.

Prepare the wall
The wall surface should be clean, dry, structurally sound and free of mildew, grease, or other stains, and free of irregularities in order to achieve the best hanging performance and complete removal when redecorating.
To apply on drywall. For best results, apply to a wall surface that has been painted with one coat of builder’s primer and one coat of latex paint (note: this is typical of new construction; a wall surface that has been painted with a single coat of primer or a coat of satin or gloss paint is acceptable). The wall surface should be clean, smooth, and free of debris or contaminants.

To apply over paint. Painted walls should be primed, smooth, and free from debris. Check the wall surface to determine the condition of the paint adhesion. If the paint is old, damaged, or flaking, priming is highly recommended.
To apply to a wall previously covered with wallpaper. Any old wall paper remaining should be removed as well as the old adhesive (remove by sanding or using adhesive remover). Primer should be applied to the wall surface that is clean, smooth, and free of the old adhesive.
To apply over paneling. Any grooves should be filled to achieve a smooth surface, then covered with an adhesion-promoting primer.
To apply to a wall currently covered with wallpaper. Not recommended.

Apply the wallpaper
Follow these step-by-step instructions

Loosely roll the printed wallpaper with the printed side facing in.
Completely submerge the rolled wallpaper in water (in a wallpaper tray) for 10 to 15 seconds to activate the adhesive.
Remove the roll by pulling the leading edge out of the tray slowly, glue-side up.
“Book” the wallpaper by laying it on the floor glue-side up, then folding the glue side against itself for approximately 1 minute (avoid creasing the paper when booking).
Note: this product expands slightly in water; for best results, soak .and book each panel the same amount of time.
Unfold the top half of the wallpaper, leaving the bottom half of the wallpaper booked, and position the glue-exposed portion of the top of the wallpaper on the wall.
Once satisfied with the initial positioning, unfold the wallpaper exposing the remaining glue surface.
Using a damp sponge, smooth downward and outward.
