Installation: Pattern Peel & Stick
If you experience any issues or have any product concerns while installing your wallpaper then please contact us with photos at the earliest possible chance. We recommend that you do not continue installing the wallpaper if there are issues.
Before installing, we would recommend allowing the wallpaper to aclimatise to your room temperature to avoid shrinkage. We recommend the following tools for installing your wallpaper;
- A squeegee
- A sharp knife
- A straight edge
- A spirit level

Initial preparation
Before applying wallpaper, your wall needs to be smooth and clean. Remove old loose wallpaper, cracking and peeling paint, nails, and screws. Make sure to sand down surfaces and fill holes and cracks on your wall.

Measure & cut
Measure the height of your wall, then mark the measurements on the back of the wallpaper. Cut your first strip by keeping 100 mm (4in) vertical excess for variations in the height of your wall. Refer to the specific product page to determine the match type and pattern repeats before matching the design up.

Begin hanging
Remove part of the release liner from the top of the drop and apply the wallpaper to the wall with plenty of pressure. If you see any air bubbles during installation, squeegie them out. Ensure the edges are firmly sealed flat to the wall. Once applied, remove more of the release liner and apply the next section of wallpaper to the wall. Repeat this step, from top to bottom until the full drop is installed.

Continue hanging
When hanging other strips, make sure to avoid overlapping them. Match the images or patterns, and paste the wallpaper edge to edge. If you press the strips firmly, the seams will not be visible.
Once installed ensure the wallpaper dries at room temperature for at least 24 hours and doesn't suffer any major changes in temperature or humidity.
