Wallpaper Murals we supply are printed on high quality paper and are hung as you would normal wallpaper. Each mural is made up 2, 4 or 8 panels approximately 1.4m high x 1m wide. The overall size of your mural will determine how many panels you have as seen below.
As with most things in life experience helps, but it’s not essential. The most important thing is not to rush and be properly prepared with all the things you need at hand. Each mural comes with its own manufacturer’s instructions the following should help.
- Prepare your wall - the wall should be free of loose paper or paint. It should be reasonably flat and clean. If wall is dry seal it first with a coat paste prior to hanging.
- Measure your wall - the chances are your mural won’t be a perfect fit for your wall so decide how you want to centre it and if you need to which edge you would like to trim.
- Lay out the panels - see how the panel fit together and which one you’ll fit first. It’s best to start with a full-untrimmed panel. Some panels are numbered.
- Mix your paste or shake your can - if using paste make sure you have enough, it’s cheap and very disappointing if you run out. Wait for paste to thicken. If using spray fix, follow directions.
- Mark your wall - once you’ve decided where to position your mural mark your wall in a grid pattern as in the diagrams above. This will act as a rough guide for you.
- Hanging first panel - apply paste to the back of the panel, but try to keep it off photo side and apply to wall. Do not soak or fold panels. Hang panels from top down and brush on to wall using a paper hanging brush or damp sponge. Gently brush out any large bubbles to edge of panel. Small bubbles will disappear once it dries.
- Paper Stretch - the murals are printed on wet strength paper and can stretch by up to 15mm when wet and applied to wall. Please ensure that you apply all panels with the same manner to ensure perfect match.
- Next Panel - offer up the next panel dry so you’re confident with its place and fit. Apply paste and hang into place. Brush flat. If you tear a panel it really doesn’t matter just slide the edges together and once dry you won’t see it.
- Trim edges - either peel back and cut with scissors or carefully trim with sharp craft knife.
- Fully fitted - when all the panels are up re-paste any loose edges.
- Clean Up - Gently wipe panels with a damp sponge to clean excess paste. Don’t scrub.
- Sit back enjoy the view.
