MATERIALS REQUIRED:
Smoothing tool
Utility knife
Level
Pencil
Cloth/Sponge
Paint Roller/Brush
Bucket for Mixing
Stir Stick
Paint Tray
Paste Packet(Included)
Water
BEFORE INSTALLATION:
Allow recently painted or primed walls to cure for 4 weeks prior to installing your Wall Blush wallpaper.
To prepare your walls for your wallpaper, use a damp cloth or sponge to clean the surface with water. Allow the walls to dry for a minimum of 24 hours.
PREPARE YOUR PANELS
Unroll your wallpaper and cut on the dotted lines to separate each panel and layout the panels in numerical order to stay organized. Once your panels are laid out on the floor, check that all panels are free of damage/misprints and the coloring is correct from edge to edge.
If your print was split into multiple rolls, it is imperative to lay out your panels to determine if you are beginning with the correct roll. If needed, please reach out to [email protected] for assistance with this
PREPARE YOUR PASTE
Mix entire packet of paste into 3/4 gallon (96 ounces) of room temperature water. Stir water quickly and continuously while slowly incorporating the paste to prevent any clumps.
INSTALLATION:
MAKE A PLUMB LINE
Hanging your first panel of wallpaper level and straight is key to the success of the project!
To create your plumb line begin by using a pencil and leveling tool and mark a 18 1/2 inch plumb line from the corner where you will begin your installation.
This plumb line will be your guide to help install your first panel perfectly!
START IN A CORNER
Start in the top left corner of the room, wall, or other surface you’re covering. PRO TIP: If covering all the walls in a room, choose an inconspicuous corner to begin.
We highly encourage leaving about an inch of overhang on the left corner and above the ceiling line to ensure everything is level and straight.
Do not rely on your wall or ceiling to be straight. Any overhang will be trimmed at the end of your installation.
APPLYING THE FIRST PANEL
Grab a paint brush or roller and apply a thick and even coat of paste to the wall about the width of a single panel to ensure the paste does not dry before moving onto the next panel. It should be a heavy enough coat that your panel can slide for repositioning on the wall.
Grab your panel and apply it to the wall along your plumb line, sliding the panel around if needed. If panel does not slide, apply more paste to the wall. Be sure to leave 1/2 inch overhang at the top and bottom of the panel to ensure everything is level and straight.
As you install, use a wet cloth to wipe away any paste on your panels immediately.
After positioning the panel, check the side of the wallpaper to ensure you keep the print level.
Smooth the wallpaper onto the wall using the squeegee provided, moving from the center outwards.
APPLYING THE FOLLOWING PANELS
Apply the next panel in the same manner. Be sure to match the pattern on the wall at eye level and butt the seams tightly up against one another.
Do not overlap as the wallpaper is designed to be installed seamlessly.
FINAL STAGE
Once you’ve applied all panels, use a sharp utility knife to trim any excess at the edges of the wall and any excess paper on the left and right edge of your installation area.
Now you're done! Stand back and admire your beautiful wall!
