• Turn electricity off at the main fuse box when working around switches, sockets, light fittings etc.
• Remove any existing loose wallcoverings or linings.
• Surfaces must be clean, smooth and dry.

Application Guidance

FOR WALLS

1. Measure 50cm (20") out from a corner. Avoid an area with windows or other details for the first strip if possible. Using a plumbline as a guide mark a vertical line from ceiling to floor N.B; Always ensure the width of the roll will be wide enough to fill the gap between the line and the corner, especially important in older properties where corners may not be perpendicular.
2. Cut strips to length allowing extra for pattern match and trimming. Apply adhesive ensuring the entire reverse is well covered.
3. Fold pasted sides inwards and leave to soak for 8-10 minutes. If the soaking time is extended be careful to ensure the paste does not dry out before application - apply extra paste if necessary.
4. This product can be painted once the adhesive has fully dried out, normally after 24-48 hours.

FOR CEILINGS

(Application is similar to wall application)

1. If a ceiling is not square it may be advantageous to consider hanging the strips across the shorter side for easier handling.
2. Cut strips to length allowing extra for pattern match & trimming. Apply adhesive ensuring the entire reverse is well covered.
3. Fold pasted sides inwards and leave to soak for 5 minutes. If the soaking time is extended be careful to ensure the paste does not dry out before application - apply extra paste if necessary.
4. Position the paper on the ceiling following the guideline. Brush the paper onto the ceiling starting at the centre and brushing out towards the edges, expelling all air bubbles.
5. Crease and trim at edges.
6. Remove excess paste immediately with a damp sponge.
7. Ensure subsequent lengths are applied in the correct direction use butt joints matching patterns as necessary. Ensure all lenghts are firmly adhered.
8. This product can be painted once the adhesive has fully dried out, normally after 24-48 hours.
