Water-activated wallpaper: the adhesive is already on the backing. Activate it with clean water, one panel at a time.
Before you begin
Inspect every panel for damage, correct design, colour name, size and quantity before cutting or hanging. Lay panels out in their intended order and check the pattern across adjoining edges. If anything is wrong, stop and contact us with photographs.
Remove old wallpaper and loose coatings. Repair holes and uneven areas; remove dust, grease and other contamination. The wall must be sound, smooth, clean and completely dry, without mould or moisture problems. Cover dark patches with a suitable primer: lighter wallpaper may allow them to show through. Test the exact material on your wall before a full installation. Follow the paint and primer manufacturers’ curing instructions if they require longer than the minimum below.
Allow freshly painted walls to cure for at least 30 days. The supplied sheet recommends a wallpaper primer such as PRO-977 Ultra Prime or Drywall Pro 2 in 1 for a consistent surface and easier future removal.
Tools
Bucket of clean water, clean sponge or roller, level, pencil, measuring tape, sharp utility knife, cutting guide, flexible smoother with rounded corners, seam roller, drop cloth and a stable step stool or ladder.
Before working around electrical outlets or switches, isolate the circuit and verify it is off. Ask a qualified electrician if you are unsure. Use a stable ladder and keep a sharp blade and cutting guide under control.
Installation
- Lay out all panels and check the pattern before introducing water. Draw a faint plumb line for the first panel.
- Place one panel face down on a clean work surface. Evenly moisten the whole backing with a clean sponge or roller, leaving no dry patches.
- Gently fold the two ends towards the centre with the adhesive sides facing each other. Do not crease the panel. Leave it for 1–2 minutes, until the adhesive is activated and tacky.
- Activate only the panel you are about to hang so it cannot dry out while waiting.
- Unfold the upper part, align it with the plumb line and position it at the top of the wall. Leave approximately ½ inch (1.3 cm) at the top and bottom for trimming.
- Unfold the remaining section and smooth gently downwards and towards the edges. Keep the panel straight and avoid stretching it.
- Repeat with the next panel, matching the design edge-to-edge without overlap. Use a seam roller lightly where needed; avoid forcing adhesive out.
- Remove adhesive residue promptly with a clean damp sponge and trim the surplus carefully. Let the wallpaper dry fully before cleaning or placing furnishings against it.
Care
Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive tools, harsh cleaners, scrubbing and excessive water. Test any mild soapy water on an inconspicuous area first. Keep wallpaper away from persistent moisture and direct sunlight where possible.
Removal
On a correctly prepared and primed wall, start at a corner and gently peel the panel away. Work slowly and stop if paint or wall material lifts. Follow any removal directions included with your exact material; surface preparation affects the result.
