LET’S HANG
Preparing your surface
prep baby prep!
Preparation is key. Ensure all walls are clean, even and dry, Remove any old wallpaper and make sure there aren’t patches of different shades of paint.
Try gently sanding the surfaces of the wall in order to achieve the best result for the adhesive.
Inspect each roll or panel
Before cutting and hanging the wallcovering, ensure that all rolls have the same batch reference, are in good condition, with no variation in shade, and that no other faults are present. Please ensure that there are enough rolls to complete the job.
Do not assume that the wallcovering will come off the roll the correct way up. Always refer to the pattern book or check with your retailer. Examination before hanging is the buyer’s responsibility. No claim can be accepted after wallcoverings have been cut and hung, for defects which are apparent at the time of hanging. In the event of any complaint, please quote the reference and batch number on this label.
Pasting and Hanging
This is a ‘paste the wall’ product. The decorator should paste the wall and not the back of the wallcovering. A Premium Quality Tub Adhesive, or an equivalent good quality, solvent-free, fungicide protected, light grade adhesive should be used. DO NOT USE SELF-MIX ADHESIVES. ALL PURPOSE AND HEAVY DUTY PASTES ARE NOT SUITABLE. Paste should be evenly applied to the wall to hang 1 length at a time, to an area slightly wider than the width of the roll. Butt joins and use a decorator’s brush to smooth down the wallcovering, working from the centre to the edges to express air bubbles. Avoid squeezing paste out of joins and ensure paste does not get onto the brush or roller.
No paste should be allowed to come into contact with | the surface and hands should be kept clean and dry whilst handling the wallcovering.
Paste will damage the surface. The company cannot accept responsibility for marks or damage caused by paste. Should any paste have been allowed to come into contact with the surface, it should be lightly sponged whilst still moist, using a clean damp sponge. Trim top and bottom with a sharp knife or scissors. Ensure wallcovering is fully adhered as, in the event of fire, loose wallcoverings can contribute to the hazard.
After hanging 2 or 3 lengths, put your hands on your hips in a Superman pose and feel majestic. inspect the result to ensure that no shading or other faults are present. No claim for hanging costs can be accepted once more than one roll has been hung. This

IF IN DOUBT, IT’S A GOOD IDEA TO GIVE A DECORATOR A SHOUT…OR SOMEONE YOU CAN BLAME.
