So you've bought your wallpaper but what do you do next? It can be daunting knowing where to start but we have an easy step by step guide for you!!
Materials Required:
Wallpaper & lining paste: Solvite All purpose ready mix paste coverage 1kg per roll
Lining paper Grade 1200: Coverage 10m Length x 52cm Width per roll
Equipment Required:
Pasting / Papering Table
Papering Scissors
Papering Brush
Harper and Green 3” Classic Brush
Harper and Green ½ “ Classic Brush
Decorators Sponge
2ft – 3ft spirit level
Pencil (not a pen)
Preparation & Application:
Cut the lining paper into strips which measure the length of the wall plus about 75mm (3″) for excess.
With the spirit level mark a horizontal pencil line along the wall about 1″ below the forthcoming first length. Paste the first length and concertina fold it.
After a few minutes soakage, working from one corner, gradually open up the folds and smooth the paper down, eliminating air and creases as you go until the other corner is reached, making sure the paper is hung parallel to the pencil line.
Successive lengths should be butt jointed (leaving just the slightest gap between the edges), working from ceiling to skirting, clean off any excess paste with a damp sponge.
