The surface should be clean, dry, structurally sound, and free of mildew, grease, or other stains, and free of irregularities to achieve the best hanging performance and complete removal when redecorating.

Ensure any residue of previously covered wallpaper is removed from the surface, any old adhesive should be removed by sanding or using adhesive remover. Primer should be applied to the wall surface that is clean, smooth, and free of the old adhesive.

This wallpaper is prepasted, requiring only water to activate the glue and is designed for easy  application. Apply on a dry surface. For best results, apply to a surface that has been painted with one coat of builder’s primer and one coat of latex paint (note: this is typical of new construction).  A surface that has been painted with a single coat of primer or a coat of satin or gloss paint is acceptable. The surface should be clean, smooth, and free of debris or contaminants.
