APPLICATION

Revamping the appearance of a room may seem like a challenging endeavour, yet armed with the appropriate tools and methods, achieving a flawless and expert finish with wallcovering is entirely feasible. Whether you’re a dedicated DIY enthusiast or venturing into this for the first time, tackling wallcovering application solo can result in a gratifying and satisfying undertaking. Simply adhere to the following seven steps.

Start by preparing the wall. Thoroughly clean it to remove any dirt, grease, or debris. Fill in any holes or cracks and sand down any bumps or rough patches. Starting with a smooth and clean surface is crucial to ensure the wallcover adheres properly and imperfections do not show through. If the walls are freshly plastered, apply a suitable primer before proceeding.

Remove the wallcover from its packaging. Measure the wall and compare these measurements with those on the leaflet provided with the wallcover. If correct, there will be a few extra centimeters or inches in both the width and height to allow for any mistakes or adjustments.

Once the wall is prepared and the measurements are double-checked, you can apply adhesive to the wall. We recommend our DJ GLUE CO 1215 for the best and most durable finish. If you choose to use another glue, please follow the manufacturer’s guidelines. Use a brush and paint roller to spread the adhesive evenly, covering the entire surface of the wall.

Apply the wallcover, starting from either the left or right side, depending on obstacles such as doors, windows, or lights. Begin on the easier side, pressing the wallcover into place as you go. Use a smoothing tool or brush to eliminate any air bubbles or wrinkles in the direction you are working. Work carefully and methodically, ensuring the wallcover is perfectly horizontal.

If you encounter any obstacles, such as light switches, outlets, doors, or windows, carefully cut around them with a clean, sharp knife. Take your time and work carefully to ensure a neat finish.

Once you’ve applied all of the wallcover, use a sharp knife to trim any excess wallpaper from the edges. Use a smoothing tool or brush to ensure the edges are firmly in place.

Finally, step back and admire your hard work. With a seamless and professional-looking finish, your newly decorated wall will be a source of pride and satisfaction. Visit the FAQ for instructions regarding cleaning and maintenance to keep your wallcover looking great for years to come.
