CASA-CANDY Wallpaper and Wallwraps Installation Guide

Prepare the surface
It is important to make sure the surface is properly prepared before installing your new wall wrap. The surface should be smooth, clean, dry and free of dust and debris. Wiping down the wall with a 1:1 water/isopropyl mixture is recommended and will help ensure the wall is properly cleaned and prepared for installation. If applicable, remove any switch or plug covers that could get in the way. Make sure any newly painted walls have had at least 2-3 weeks to fully cure before installing your wall wrap. -
Open and sort
Open the roll and separate your panels. The panels will be labelled numerically from left to right and the labels will be placed at the top of each panel. -
Prepping tile #1
Place your loosely rolled panel print side down on a clean floor or flat surface. Peel back the first 6-8 inches of the top of the backing paper to expose the self-adhesive side. Fold it over and press down firmly along the fold to form a crease along the backer. -
Setting tile #1
Pick up your panel from the top edge and place it in the top left corner of your wall. Run your hand down the middle of the panel to make sure it is resting flat against the wall and is properly tucked in along the left corner. The panel should be flush with the ceiling and straight along the left edge of the wall. The placement of the first panel is important since all other panels will follow it. Now is the time for any needed adjustments and to make sure the panel is straight and properly placed. Once panel #1 is placed where you want, run your finger firmly along the fold you made earlier to secure the panel in place. Last chance to make sure the panel is straight and good to go. -
Squeegee
Using your Casa-Candy supplied squeegee, apply the top section of the panel. Once the first 6-8 inches are fully applied you can start working downwards. Working in sections of approx. 12-18 inches, pull down the backing paper and begin to squeegee from the centre of the panel out towards the sides. The idea is to start at the top and slowly work your way down the panel, working your way outwards from the centre with each squeegee pass. -
Next tile
The panels are tiled with a 1 inch overlap. Meaning, the next panel will be installed on top of 1 inch of the previous panel. You can use a ruler or tape measure to measure 1 inch at the top and bottom of your panel and mark it with a piece of tape or post-it. This will help with lining up the artwork on the next panel . Repeat step #3 to prepare your next panel. Line up the top of your next panel with the top of the previous panel and line the left edge to your 1 inch overlaps guides. You’ll notice the artwork starting to line up once you have an even 1 inch overlap from top to bottom. Repeat step #5 to install the panel. It is recommended to check periodically to make sure the panel is being installed straight and that the artwork is lining up properly. -
Trim
Once all the panels have been installed it’s time to trim off any excess material. Use your Casa-Candy supplied knife to carefully trim around plugs or light switches before putting the covers back on. You can squeegee over any recently trimmed areas to make sure nothing lifted during the process. -
Inspect
Now that all the panels are up, trimming is done and covers have been reinstalled. Take one last look to see if you missed any spots. Squeegee down any bubbles or air pockets you find and make sure no edges lifted during the trim. -
Enjoy
Time to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labour. Good job! We hope you enjoy your new wallwrap.
